BLOOD RED VINYL
JACULA
"TARDO PEDE IN MAGIAM VERSUS"
ITALY - Black Widow - 108
MINTY CLEAN...limited 35th Anniversary Edition pressed in blood RED VINYL...originally issued on the Rogers label in 1972, the first press is an impossible find and commands upward to $2,000 in collector circles ... one of the most legendary records the European scene ever spawned. Created by guitarist Anthony Bartoccetti, Jacula created one of the most 'real' underworld record ever made. Drenched with incredible overpowering pipe-organ amid dramatic vocal recitations by multi instrumentalist Dora Norton, Jacula delivers a very dark doomy creation, a one of a kind...copied by others (Coven), but never equaled, not even close...
TARDO PEDE IN MAGIAM VERSUS is not just an album, but rather an album out of this world ! Jacula represent one of the most original and underappreciated groups of the '70s Italian scene and that's saying something. Controversial but above/below the fray. Beautiful but full of nightmarish impressions & dark atmospheres. A road map to certain points in the underworld brought to you by guitarist Antonio Bartoccetti and vocalist/violinist Doris Norton the green-eyed Goddess who would become Bartoccetti's wife, his writing partner, vocalist, violinist, flautist, and keyboardist.
The team was joined by a 68 year old eccentric (Charles Tiring) who brought the church pipe organ to this piece of music history. The music for the ages was recorded for free spirits by those who would not compromise. It was, and is, a perfect moment that could just as easily have been lost to history. But those who know better would not let it perish.
Jacula's 1972 album is a highly experimental collective centered on Antonio Bartoccetti and vocalist/violinist Doris Norton, who uniquely pushed the boundaries between progressive, gothic and classical music. Their compositions were elaborate and dark, written by Bartoccetti, one of the Italian prog rock scene's most charismatic figures, and drenched in the blood red funeral church organ of collaborator Charles Tiring. "TARDO PEDE IN MAGIAM VERSUS" has an uncomfortable, spectral atmosphere. Side one is Jacula at their most intense in places: Charles Tiring again glows with majesty on the church organ, harpsichord, and Moog. In UFDEM he plays intently and Bartoccetti adds in some wicked bass slides, but the main attraction is Norton's fierce vocals, she just pours herself into it. All of Norton's vocals go beyond "singing" which often is mostly entertainment; she truly communicates, channeling emotions and images. "Praesentia Domini" begins with a gorgeous mix of synth and organ but then turns into one of Jacula's most sinister tracks. Norton and Bartoccetti begin a spoken word chant that sounds like a ritual summoning or perhaps a séance and the effect is really creepy for those with tender ears. The chanting is Latin and just increases with intensity joined by disturbing Moog (?) effects before the pipe organ comes back for a dramatic ending. There first two tracks may be difficult for the faint at heart but hopefully listeners will endure to side two which is more forgiving-just remember, give yourself time to get used to their sound, it grows on you after a spell. "Long Black Magic Night" is the rose on this black marble alter that is side two. Just fantastic. It begins with a flute solo that says so much in the melody. It feels like a soul wandering across a foggy moor, or like a person coming to terms with an ending (or beginning?) Haunting flute leads to Doris's vocal in English over her own violin that sounds amazingly like someone crying. Her accent is fittingly heavy, and as if she's reciting something in a sad, detached way that sort of lulls you into a trance. She closes with the prophetic sentence "the long, black, magic night has begun." After a short pause she repeats the sentence a second time but you hear this brilliant twist on emphasis. The first time the sentence is delivered in a sort of monotone recitation style as the whole track was. But after the pause when she repeats the sentence, you hear a chilling excitement rise in her voice like a vampire whose spotted blood. Very subtle, but you can hear her go from a narrative to character mode, seemingly thrilled that the "magic night" has begun. You can practically see her face changing from solemn to mischievous grin as her words are followed by a loud ominous low end reverberating note. as well, the beautiful "In Old Castle" is a long Charles Tiring pipe organ work that allows the listener to decompress a bit while still steeping in deep gloomy atmosphere. On the whole, a stunning piece of work.SIDE ONE 1. U.F.D.E.M. 8:55 2. PRAESENTIA DOMINI 10:50 3. JACULA VALZER 6:18 SIDE TWO 1. ABSOLUTION 8:28 2. LONG BLACK MAGIC NIGHT 6:18 3. IN OLD CASTLE 9:45
