LUSCIOUS LIBRARY GROOVES FROM ITALY!
MIRAGEMAN - ALTO GRAMENTO
ARISTON 11030
1970
JUST FOR A SECOND, WE DROP THE SLEAZE FEST TO BRING YOU A PRIME SLICE OF FINEST LIBRARY JAZZ FROM ITALY'S OWN UNSUNG HERO, GIOVANNI FENATI, AKA THE MIRAGEMAN. FENATI REMAINED FAIRLY BUSY IN HIS EARLY CAREER, SCOOPING UP FIVE LP RELEASES BETWEEN 1969 - 1972 ALL ON THE MAGNIFICENT ARISTON LABEL, WHICH BOASTS SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST COLLECTABLE ROCK AND FUNK HYBRED MUSICS. HE ALSO MANAGED TO RELEASE SEVERAL MORE HARD EDGED 45'S ON THE SAME PRINT, MOSTLY TAKEN FROM THE LATER LP'S DEEP IN THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK VEIN. THIS IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT! THE LP FEATURES SEVERAL POPULAR TV AND RADIO THEMES FROM THE DAY AS WELL AS HIS EXCELLENT VANGELIS COVER "IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK", LENNON & MCARTNEY'S "LONG AND WINDING ROAD" AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ELECTRIFYING VERSION OF THE GUESS WHO'S "AMERICAN WOMAN" WITH TREATED PIANO AND DEEP GROOVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS JAZZ STYLED BURNER, FLYING OFF DECK, IT'S MASSIVE! ALONGSIDE HIS OTHER MONSTER LP'S, THIS IS ALSO AN AWESOME BUT SMOOTHER RIDE, NONETHELESS EXCELLENT FOR THE MASTERSTROKE VERSION MENTIONED. QUALITY ITALIAN GROOVES.

THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS RECORD IS AMAZING SINCE IT WAS SEALED ON ARRIVAL AND ONLY OPENED TO CHECK BEFORE SELLING, THEREFORE, I GRADE THE COVER A SHINY, LAMINATED VG+ AS IS THE UNTAINTED VINYL.
