Somewhere in between psych-rock, avant-garde jazz and funky jams. The sound is definitely experimental and ostentatiously ‘underground’. The music, anyway, is thrilling. The drum patterns, in particular, are extraordinary: regular, tight, groovy, and incredibly close to the ‘motorik’ beat of Can and Neu!.
‘The Group’ was not a band of young beatniks. As a matter of fact, it’s just a pseudonym for Gruppo D’Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, a side project of well known soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone along with other experimental musicians. The rock-focused attitude of the record is quite surprising for such a team of classically-trained men already in their
forties!
The LP format reissue includes CD copy.
