      ACID SOAKED FREAKBEAT POPSIKE "1969 "MONSTER"

                             LE ORME

            AD GLORIUM 

                                   Europe - AK - 060 

Completely MINT = STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER

RARE....Long long gone and equally sought after 180 grams super thick and deluxe 2ndpress to the famous $2000 valued 1969 album with an obvious 'monster' rating ... only THIS issue includes two extra 1969 NON-LP tracks from a rare 45 .... 

Though Le Orme are best known for having released early 70's progressive albums, becoming major stars in that field - this first album is soaked in psychedelics ..."Ad Gloriam" is a colorful album blending that whimsically paisley British Swinging London acid elements including great vocal harmonies, backwards guitar loops, freakbeat allusions & trippy sound effects injections - and some exquisite arrangements ...an answer to the Beatles "Sgt Pepper" meeting Pink Floyd "Piper At the Gates Of Dawn" ...This is highly recommended to fans of the earliest works of rock bands, such as Beatles or Pink Floyd sixties psych Lp's... 

"Introduzione" Right from the start, the listener is treated to a trippy psychedelic piece, with warbling guitar all over a call-and-response bass and organ. Quite possibly this could have been the introduction for a hip TV sitcom at that time.

"Ad Gloriam" Following a brief vocal bit, pleasantly light rock music ensues. A repeated melody hangs out in the background, as though in its own world. This is a great song, and we were pleasantly surprised the first time I heard it.

"Oggi Verrà" Light cymbals and percussion with a thudding bass and whimsical flute accompany fragile yet pleasant vocals.

"Milano 1968" Bright organ and trebly bass engage in a psychedelic dance before spoken word and light singing take over.

"I Miei Sogni" Slide guitar fed through dozens of effects introduces heavy tom work before further cool psychedelic rock of the 1960s comes through.

"Mita Mita" Le Orme demonstrates great use of exotic instrumentation in this light and buoyant song.

"Fumo" Juxtaposing quieter vocal passages with heavy organ-driven sections, this piece has some bizarre belching effects in places, and all of the instruments seem to be doing their own thing, yet it all comes together nicely.

"Senti L'Estate Che Torna" This is quite an enjoyable song that is nicely styled music both in composition and in sound.

"Fiori Di Giglio" Following a somewhat exotic introduction, more pastoral textures ride in, over which is spoken word from what sounds like a very young girl.

"Non So Restare Solo" Plinking quarter notes with a whistling organ underneath work with the relatively dynamic rhythm section to support the straightforward vocals. With the backup singing on the chorus, the music really does sound like a popsike song from the UK swinging London period of music. The instrumental segment involves gritty guitar and soon after, a drum solo.

"Conclusione" This final ditty involves the strumming of an acoustic guitar, honky-tonk piano, and some lazy vocals, like a rural tune drunkenly sang at a saloon.

CONDITION: The cover: triple thick gatefold (weight heavy) and very colorful ...completely MINT with NO problems anywhere ... still in original factory shrink wrapper ... a PEREFECT flat & square copy...no isssues!

The vinyl: thick 180 grams (weight heavy) platter is completely MINT with NO problems anywhere ... 

keeper!
