It's about the music !!!

Review Exerpts:

  —   They are sincere... this is second great album of the Italian Prog!  -  Symphonic Age

------------------------------------------

  This is a one-shot-band including Pit Corradi (keyboards), Giancarlo Golzi (drums), Enzo Merogno (guitar/vocals), Alberto Moreno (bas/piano) and singer Stefano Galifi. In ’73 they released "Zarathustra" (about Nietzsche’s superman), this album is still considered as one of the masterpieces in the world of progrock. And it’s one of the most sought after "collector items".

The album "Zarathustra" starts with the magnificent titletrack (five parts, almost 21 minutes). The foundation is a beautiful theme (like in "Firth of Fifth" from GENESIS) that returns in different climates (from dreamy to heavy and bombastic) and with different colouring of the instruments. The interplay between the electric guitar, keyboards (Hammond organ, synthesizer and piano), rhythm-section (propulsive and perfectly timed drumming) and strong and expressive Italian vocals is very captivating. It all creates a constant tension, topped by majestic eruptions of the Mellotron. The omni-presence of this instrument gives the titletrack the same thrilling impact as it does on the early albums from KING CRIMSON and GENESIS! The other three (shorter) tracks sound flowing and powerful with a lot of Hammond organ and guitarplay with echoes from Steve HACKETT. ESSENTIAL!

--------------------------------------------------


Another precious gem, another unique thunder in all the stormy and rich Italian prog scenario of the seventies! This time we have to discuss about a philosophical concept album based on the famous figure of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). All his themes are musically arranged: the denunciation of the millenary lies of the human society and the ideal of a SuperMan, someone who can go beyond all the current myths, founding a new himself on new true discovered values. Absolute moral freedom which is not, as the nazi reconstruction tried to make think of, the proclamation of superiority of a race on all the others! Paradoxally Nietzschean SuperMan is not someone a-moral, but someone with great sense of True Morality, someone who manages to distinguish between good and evil without any conditioning! - Andrea Cortese

  —   Real Music can take you to another dimensions, but few are art masterpieces, and in the progressive rock we can find many of them, and this record "Zarathustra" is not only progressive rockl, but art, real art. First of all, its hard to find influences here, why?, because it is a very original, frentic, well played, crazy, dark, sinister, uplifting record. All the musicians are awesome, music here is faster than the usual and theres many time changes, this is the kind record should never end, excelent, among the best of the progressive rock. O resto é blá blá blá e comparações estúpidas e preocupações técnicas ridículas, tem que admitir que é melhor e pronto, só porque os caras são italianos, vai se ferrar... -Rafael in Rio
