Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

RARE & GREAT 1972 EXQUISITE ITALIAN PROGRESSIVE GEM!

TOP MINTY FIRST PRINT
BEAUTIFUL ...Original 1972 first pressing in colorful gatefold and contains the scarce group photo inner sleeve... considered one of the early 70's Italian progressive rock gems, Banco displayed a sophisticated high level of complex playing that netted them three outstanding albums, DARWIN! being one of their best...
The long 'L'Evoluzione' ("Evolution") is obviously the vehicle to introduce the album's concept. It starts off as a fairly sedate song (a little PINK FLOYD in there somewhere) but then comes some synth which makes one think of erupting volcanoes, and the song heats up, not very melodically, with BANCO's characteristic repetitive note sequences, with a piccolo playing over the top in places. Keeping one's mind on the theme stops the track getting tedious.
'La Conquista Della Posizione Eretta' ("The Conquest Of The Upright Position") is really atmospheric, with synth used to produce animal-like sounds, and some dynamic 'echoey' synth that, given the theme and track title, like apes swinging through the forest treetops at great speed!
'Danza Dei Grandi Rettili' ("Dance Of The Large Reptiles") is also the business. It has a very laid-back jazzy barroom feel, starting with some piano and bass, and then adding synth. Again, bearing in mind the theme, it's not hard to picture a dinosaur clomping around looking for prey. Great synth on this one.
'Cento Mani E Cento Occhi' ("A Hundred Hands Over A Hundred Eyes") is a frenetic track with a fair amount of unmelodic keyboard with what sounds like repetitive two-finger key bashing and 'wailing' by Francesco Di Giacomo. Then, right at the end of the song, there is what sounds like a tribal ritual chant over some foot-tapping progressive rock. A bizarre track, but strangely compelling.
'750,000 Anni Fa...L'Amore?' ("750,000 Years Ago...Love?") is ballad-like, Francesco Di Giacomo singing with great feeling with the keys as the principal backing instrument, interrupted for a short while by some very electronic synth. It's very pleasant.
'Miserere Alla Storia' ("Misery In History") starts off with staccato, repeated note sequences on the organ, then changes to a classical-sounding theme with piccolo and guitar, then transmogrifies into a mad-sounding Francesco Di Giacomo half speaking, half singing, then back to the staccato repeated note sequences on the organ. Interesting towards the end when piano kicks in with synth and other instruments.
'Ed Ora Io Domando Tempo Al Tempo Ed Egli Mi Risponde...Non Ne Ho!' ("And Now I Ask The Time To Time And He Replies...I Haven't Got It!") is yet another bizarre track. It starts with a sound like a donkey braying, sounds like the very slow dragging of a violin bow or perhaps the rocking of a very creaky rocking chair. Then the clavicembalo and piccolo add some background as Francisco Di Giacomo sings to backing music.
If you're used to melodic progressive rock then this is a very different beast, but should grow on you. The composition and use of instruments to convey the theme are clever, and there is so much variety and oddity in the tracks - and within tracks - that it keeps you listening intently and enjoying immensely.
