The Birdmen of Alkatraz (Italy) - 1987 - Gliddin' Off [EP]

Tracks :
A1 Young Maiden Ghost 5:21
B1 Dreamin Demon 3:40
B2 The Best Way To Say Goodbye 3:45

Maurizio Curadi : guitars,
Gianfranco Migliaccio: bass
Daniele Caputo: drums

This is certainly the best of the current crop of Italian bands that I've
heard thus far; there's twelve minutes of exciting psycho-drama spread
thickly over three tracks. For a three piece band they create a very full
sound with Curadi's vibrant guitar buzzing, stinging and generally pervading
every inch of precious vinyl. Whilst this record could easily be mistaken
for the out-pourings of some time-shrouded acid crazed combo of the late
60's there is a bizarre Mediterranean tinge to, particularly, "Dreamin'
Demon" which brings some sense of originality yet the track itself sounds
like a heady mixyture of a Sergio Leone western film score and the
Yardbirds' "Heart Full Of Soul." Fascinating. To sample the current
fledgeling Italian scene I can think of no better place to start.

Knowing this belongs to the territory of lost in tyme interests, i inform you (and anyone else who cares about) that i have posted MARC JEFFREY`s "PLAYTIME" at our blog "01fragments.blogspot.com" while i haven`t detected it posted anywhere else (though searchmachines sometimes do not show a complete picture).We intent to post a lot of rare stuff in the near future if, of course, people care about. So please have a future eye `n ` ear to us ...- paramo
