Rino & Luigi De Filippi "Daybreak" RCA SP 10062 (1976) Full Rip In 320K

   Just VPI'd this record and re ripped it, thought I would share it in full this time!  Just one of my favorite records to listen to by Marcabru an alias for Luig De Filippi, son of Rino De Filippi.  This one is credited to Luigi solely on SIAE database but most likely done with his father Rino from the sounds of it.  You really can listen to this from start to finish and oh god let me tell you it is rare and pretty impossible to find.  It has that proggy jazz feel that the Filippis  utilize on most of their beat driven records like the wildcat and pound release.  First we start with the title track "Daybreak" just amazing and beautiful mid tempo awesomeness, crazy melodys abound.  Next we get, "Gleaming" with that up tempo jazz funk sound ever so popular in the mid late 70's, with just the right amount of synth coming in half way through.  "Hermitage" comes off right away sounding like a sophisticated yes.  Next we get the banger "Fancy" just perfection, cray bassline and sax solo with that flat and perfect Filippi drum sound, AHHH, so good!  "Consortship" sounds like Filippi totally going for a yes melody and one of the most Filippi sounding songs on the record, totally essential good vibes.  Then the B side, man if you thought the A side was dope the B side is even better.  "Racer" is unbelievable melodic and proggy.  "Glide" is golden funk"  "Afield" is back to that melodic Filippi good vibes style.  "Loose" is by far my favorite jam on here, and perhaps top 5 Filippi jams, that crazy technical jazzy piano riff and the insane drumming, whoah.  Last song of note is, "Meek" the most chilled out and stony jam on here, shit, what were they smoking in Italy back then, damn?!  Just VPI'd this record and re ripped it, thought I would share it in full this time!  Enjoy  GET IT HERE!

Bruno Zambrini "Racconti Di Mare" Television OST - KOLS 1011-RCA 1970 Italian Underwater Masterpiece! MY RIP @320K

    Bruno Zambrini wasn't messing around when he composed this shit, start to finish this record is mindblowing, I still haven't come close to taking in all the sounds it has to offer.  Other big ocean themed soundtrack and librarys include Fabio Fabor's "Aquarium" on Hard, Armando Sciascia's "Sea Fantasy" on Vedette and the legendary "Inner Space" by Sven Libaek as well as a phenomenal mix by Marcellus Wallace called "Our Beautiful World" where he highlights his favorite sounds from this genre as well,jam it here . This record is one of, if not the best one in my snobby opinion.
   First off many people will be most impressed by the insanely badass, "Beat Psichedelico" which I must say is goddamn impressive! To me, this song hits me the same way that Osanna's "Preludio" hits, epic as hell psych featuring heavy beats, orchestration and psych freekouts!  The part changes are just incredible throughout.    Other dark groove oriented jams, are "Recupero Impossible" and "Dramma A Quota 23" The Bossa style jams, which there are many, are just so crisp and beautiful.  The self titled theme is full of Alessandroni styled scat vox, killer organ stabs and honestly the chord changes and patterns remind me of his beautiful styling. "Estasi Sul Mare" uses melody and instrumentation so perfectly.  "Giochi Sul Mare" and "Crociera Verso Il Sud" reminds me of something Rino De Filippi would come up with on his best day.  There are also a couple Experimental jams with the reverb wonderland of, Foreste Di Corallo and "Ebrezza Dei Fondali" which my dogs hate.
     So yeah I think it's good, haha.  Enjoy My Rip @ 320K Chris Tillotson     GET IT HERE!

Luciano Fineschi-High Fever RCA SP 10067-----1977 Italian Jazz Funk Masterpiece My Rip @320K

   What an amazing record this guy is!  This is the RCA promo only version of April Orchestra RCA Presente Vol.14 pressed in apparently 200 copies only as well as the other RCA SP 10000 series.

   It starts off so strong with, "Challenge" with it's pumped up bass and drums and is that Sergio Farina on the lead guitar, sure sounds like it.  It's followed by "Penthouse" a very psyched out romp of phaser and strings.  To me it doesn't start back up till side B with "Fundamental Low" a perfect soundtrack to an olympics television highlight reel of the 70's.  That's followed by, "High Fever" just a fat and funky classic.  "Bubbles" is obviously the best track here, I mean I thought this record was good up until this point but when this thing came on, I was floored.  Total Psyched out funky perfection and it just gets better as the song goes on, building up perfectly and then falling apart again.   This is followed by "General Market" which although has a pretty weak first 15 seconds turns into a perfect jazz funk track full of amazing bass, drums horns and sax.

   As I said before this record is much more easily obtained on the April Orchestra Label for much cheaper as well, though with a different cover and perhaps pressing quality.  So check out the discogs availability and prices for both here Discogs   and enjoy my rip @320K    GET IT HERE!   Chris

  To say I enjoy this record is an understatement, next time it hits the market don't sleep and better go big cause it's not everday you see this bad boy.  Enjoy the soundclips and if you don't don't mind a low quality sound it is on youtube in its entirety but if you can, trust me seek out the vinyl it's so worth it!  Chris Tillotson                             TRADE HERE!

Mario Molino & Duilio Radici "Holiday For Flutes"- RCA -SP 10047- 1973 JAZZ FUNK HOLY GRAIL!

  Wow you just don't get to hear library records this solid every day.  Usually I would stay away from any Library Record titled "Holiday For Flutes" cause well they tend to be very literal.  Luckily for us all this thing is anything but boring flute passages, what we get is mindblowing melody and beats including Mario Molino's signature guitar sound, Duilio Radici's organ & piano, Antonio Ferrelli's incredible Bass playing, Ciro Cicco's perfect drumming and Franco Battimelli & Nino Rapicavoli melodic flute.  As a musician this record is just so inspiring, I mean more thought and precision probably went into the first 2 minutes of this record than the latest "it" bands entire output.  Even though the moods change constantly within the same song the whole album feels like one solid feel good vibe.  The main thing that seems unique to me on this record is those drum breaks and fills, they are just so strange and perfect.  The first song, "Bubble Soap" is a perfect example of this and probably the best of the 10 songs.  Every song is a winner on here though and if you're a fan of Molino's work than I'm sure you'll be satisfied.   This record is near impossible to find as well as any RCA SP record.  I don't feel like sharing "this" record will hurt it's future resale value & potential (which I do wonder about often with my shares) because the good ones always sell in my experience, I would gladly pay the same price for this even if I had the MP3 before, it's the kind of record that sells itself, like drugs, HAHA.  So enjoy another one from my personal collection ripped @320K and don't forget to leave a comment.  Thanks, Chris Tillotson            GET IT HERE!
