Remastered edition of this 1973 classic from Italy. Duello Madre featured members of Osage Tribe and Circus 2000. The quartet consisted of guitar, sax/flute, bass and drums. Producer Gian Piero Reverberi contributed keyboards on two tracks. The music is an interesting juxtaposition of guitarist Marco Zoccheddu's obvious hard rock influences and Pippo Trentin's jazz oriented sax and flute. In some ways this is a musical foreshadowing of Soft Machine's Bundles. This one is quite a burner and is highly recommended.

  • First album from this Italian band featured a heavier sound not to far from Deep Purple.  There are prog and psych moves so if you want to call it "proto-prog" you wouldn't be far off the mark.  
    $15.00
  • Fourth and final studio album from the original lineup. Still plenty of good stuff here but marred a bit by an attempt at English vocals.
    $15.00
  • Stunning Hendrix influenced progressive hardrock from guitarist Bambi Fossati. New edition reissued by Vinyl Magic in a digipak.  Sharp looking!

  • Phase - Midnight Madness is the third release in our limited edition Modulus series.  Pressed in an edition of 500 copies, it comes housed in a old school style tip-on mini-LP jacket.  A 12 page booklet features detailed liner notes from the members of the band.Phase was a New Jersey based quartet formed in 1978.  It featured Regan Ryzuk (piano, Moog, Celeste), Dave Anderson (electric and Anscor stereo guitar), Carl Scariati (Carl Thompson electric bass), and John Hvasta (drums/tympanis).  All members were young but highly accomplished musicians with a serious interest in jazz, classical composition, and progressive rock.  Their high energy instrumental music clearly demonstrated these influences.  The music of Phase can easily be classified as fusion but there are strong undercurrents of progressive rock that weaves its way through the album - not just in terms of the instrumentation or playing, but the compositions as well.The band signed a deal with QCA/Red Mark Records in Cincinnati.  The band left New Jersey and heading out to Ohio to record Midnight Madness.  The album was recorded and mixed very quickly.  It saw a release in 1979 and unfortunately sank without much of a trace.  Keyboardist Regan Ryzuk reissued the album two years label, rebranding and repackaging the release under the Fusion Quartet moniker.Hearing this music for the first time was quite a revelation.  I was blown away to say the least.  When I'm asked to describe the music I typically reply "Return To Forever meets Emerson Lake & Palmer".  Not only did this quartet have chops from hell but the compositions were challenging as well.  If you are a fan of RTF, Mahavishnu Orchestra or the prog giants ELP, Yes, Zappa, and PFM you will find much to enjoy here.Please keep in mind that when this edition sells out it will be gone forever.

  • One of the greatest of all Italian albums. Got a nice aggressive vibe mixed in with the complexity. New edition from Vinyl Magic comes is a gorgeous mini-lp sleeve.

  • Short lived Italian prog band that recorded this one album for the Bla Bla label (home of Battiato). The band is notable for the inclusion of band member Red Canzian who had a loooong career with I Pooh (I believe they are still together). Capsicum Red's music was pretty typical of the Italian prog style - a strong classical rock approach - they even tackle Beethoven's Patetica Suite. One of my guilty pleasures from Italy.

  • New edition from Vinyl Magic comes in a mini-lp sleeve. One of my favorite Italian albums features a bunch of unknown musicians doing one of the great ELP ripoffs ever. A killer.

  • One of the classic Italian prog albums comes across as a cross between Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin. Flute monster accentuated by the great keyboard work of Baffo Banfi.
