Description
Needs no introduction. One of the top Italian progressive records ever made. This is an original on Trident cat no TRI 1004. Sleeve is in overall excellent condition apart from a small mark on the top right where a sticker may have been. Slight edge rubbing. Record plays beautifully with no issues at all.You will not find a better sounding copy.
Put out their sole album in 1973, a masterpiece entitled Dedicato A Frazz. Maybe one of the best Italian albums, Semiramis were incredibly dynamic and heavy and showed a prowess that many one-shots were hard pressed to match. The songs could be slightly redundant to some of you, but this is part of the magic. A tension is created and rarely let up through the course of the album.
A classic heavy symphonic band, yet the trademark Italian lyricism is evident throughout. It is a darkly intense album like Metamorfosi, but in a different style. The intensity starts immediately and doesn't let up to the very end. Intense moog and guitar interplay that creates and releases tension throughout the entire album. There is more guitar than on Metamorfosi and some melodic interludes like only the Italian bands can do. If the Metamorfosi sounds interesting (or you like them) then get this one as well. An excellent album.
For completeness I should mention that the sleeve has a strong smell of incense. Pleasant to my senses, just thought you should know.
Please excuse the reflection of the camera's flash on the image. The ripples seen on the image are from the plastic sleeve, not the record sleeve.
Record has been cleaned on a professional record cleaning machine. New anti static inner with the original retained.
Record will be shipped with the record removed from sleeve and protected with cardboard stiffeners.
