ROSENBACH MUSEUM GUIDED TOUR
 
Museo Rosenbach are one of the many Italian prog band of the early seventies that had the just chance to release an album before disappear. Their debut album “Zarathustra” was released in 1973 and the line up featureed Stefano “Lupo” Galifi (vocals), Enzo Merogno (guitar, vocals), Pit Corradi (keyboards, mellotron), Alberto Moreno (bass, piano) and Giancarlo Golzi (drums, percussion, vocals). It’s a concept album freely inspired by the work of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. According to the liner notes, the quest for the super–man described by Mauro La Luce’s lyrics wasn’t meant to exalt the violent leader of a new pure breed but the serene search for a human character who, living in communion with nature, tries to purify from every hypocrisy the human values... Despite the great quality of the music, on account of the controversial art cover and to the misunderstandings about the concept, Museo Rosenbach were treated as fascists by critics and part of the public and the album was quite unsuccessful determining the split up of the band. Nonetheless, as time passed by, this work has become a cult one for prog lovers...
 
The opener is the long title track, a suite in five parts. The first part “L’ultimo uomo” (The last man) begins with a calm and solemn pace, then vocals that seem to come down from a distant place soar drawing a beautiful melody... “Face of light, they told me about you / Your story lies in the echo of the mountains / Too high to descend into us.... Shabby shadow, empty glare of the ego / You don't need to understand the force / That pushes me to seek in the world...”. An instrumental crescendo leads to the second part, “Il re di ieri”  (Yesterday king) and to its delicate piano and organ patterns... “No, do not go on walking on never ending roads / You can already see in me what my father, God, taught to you... Love your Land, in her womb God will form itself”. The contrasts between a quiet church like atmosphere and some more aggressive rhythmic passages give to this track a very peculiar and dramatic feeling...    
  
On the third part of the suite, “Al di là del bene e del male” (Beyond the good and the evil) tension rises while vocals try to evoke how pretentious are human laws drawing borders between good and evil... “Ancient tables, divine wills in the past already divided the good and the evil / The man alone, far from God, cannot build his own moral / Run away from your will / Under these curtains lies a false wisdom / The truth is insulted / From the moral that you created no good will come...”. The fourth part, “Superuomo” (Super-man) begins quietly and in a more reflexive way suggesting that you have to choose among many answers about the sense of life what’s the right one... “Thousand traditions built a wall around me / Alone and without forces I get lost into my own words / And perhaps I'm looking for someone who has always walked behind me... / Now he is coming to life in me / I’m living the Super-man”. Then vocals give way to a crescendo of amazing shifting musical passages leading to the final solemn instrumental part “Il tempio delle clessidre” (The temple of the hourglasses)
  
The other tracks are shorter but not less interesting. “Degli uomini” (About men) is as intense as an horseback ride. Vocals ask questions about war and peace, joy and pain, then a bittersweet reflection soars... “Like  Autumn, the world wants to wither / It offers swords to the sky overriding the loyalty / It grows up and, as time passes by, it kills its humanity”.
 
 
“Della natura” (About nature) begins with a frenzy rhythm, then suddenly a suspicious and treacherous quiet comes down... “Quietness falls over the night / Virgin in its mantle... The silence with its void lights the fear again / Terror, pregnant of magic as it is, makes Death’s face come back in mind...”. Rhythm takes off again, then melts in a complex and more relaxed section while lyrics draw a quite different landscape where men live in harmony with nature and where silence is described as the singing of real poetry... "My eyes are tired, I feel by now that I’m going to sleep / The dawn comes from quietness / Virgin in its own mantle, it lives and already thrills...”. ”Dell'eterno ritorno” (About the eternal return) is about the eternal circle of life. Strange omens shake our certitudes while life comes to an end... The music is complex as usual, marching beats alternate with organ rides while soaring dramatic vocals depicts doubts and fading hopes... “By now my future is already there / The road I will take leads where the man stops / And where the Eternal Return reign...”.
  
After the end of Museo Rosenbach experience, drummer Giancarlo Golzi joined forces with Carlo Marrale and Piero Cassano, former members of JET, a formed a new band called MATIA BAZAR, more pop oriented and commercially very successful
  
 
In 2000 Museo Rosenbach reunited with a different line up and released a new album, Exit, but if you expect from this new work something like “Zarathustra” you will be disappointed… Here there’s no much of the old “Museo Rosenbach left. The only founding members in the new line-up are Alberto Moreno and Giancarlo Golzi and the music is closer to the elegant pop of the Matia Bazar than to “Zarathustra”. “Exit” should be a concept album but the project seems to me confused and the ideas sometimes seem to get lost into the mist… The first track “Exit” is a kind of short intro to the album with a good acoustic guitar arpeggio (and “obscure” lyrics)… Then, with “Il terzo occhio” the music turns to a smart pop sound… My favourite track is “Il re del circo” (lyrics about the civil war in Yugoslavia) where you can find at least some hints of progressive…
 
   
Nonetheless the new line up is not bad and it should be of some interest for prog lovers listen to...

Thanks for the push towards Procession Andrea. I've listened to the tracks from both albums and was very impressed. I've ordered Fiaba - seems mellower than the heavier debut. I'll order that one soon too.

BACK FROM MARS!
 
Campo di Marte’s leader Enrico Rosa is still active and every now and again he still performs the old tracks of Campo di Marte, along with some new tracks...
 
 
 
You don’t know who Campo di Marte are? Well, Campo di Marte were one of the many one-shot bands of the Italian prog scene of the early seventies. It was mainly the brainchild of composer and guitarist Enrico Rosa who gathered around him a bunch of talented and “classical trained” musicians like Alfredo Barducci (horns, piano, organ, vocals), Richard Ursillo aka Paul Richard (bass, vocals), Mauro Sarti (drums, percussion, flute, vocals) and Carlo Felice Marcovecchio (drums, percussion, vocals). They were based in Tuscany and the name of the band was inspired by a suburb of Florence. Campo di Marte means Field of Mars (or Campus Martius), and Mars was also the Roman god of war so, according to Enrico Rosa, “the name was used as an excuse to write lyrics on the stupidity of wars, and a picture of Turkish mercenary soldiers stabbing themselves with any kind of weapons to demonstrate their strength and receive higher wages was chosen for the cover” (from an interview with Enrico Rosa on the site Italianprog.com).
 
The original concept was in some way distorted by the label in 1973 and the band had to change the titles and the order of the tracks for commercial reasons. The remastered re-release by AMS Vinyl Magic (BTF) (AMS 101 CD) in 2006 restored the original project and the result is wonderful. The sound quality is excellent and the original project is explained in the booklet through comprehensive liner notes in Italian and in English...
 
On the restored version, the album opens with the instrumental “V Tempo” (originally named "Prologo Parte I") where you can find a pastoral atmosphere that could remind of bands like Amazing Blondel and Gryphon. The piece is introduced by acoustic and flute and the mood is peaceful and joyful...
 
  
On the second track “VI Tempo” (originally named "Prologo Parte II"), the sound of the electric guitar and an heavy marching beat try to evoke the effects of a marching army with horns and drums “playing war anthems”. Peace is broken and war is raging on but on this piece there’s also a short lyrical interlude where dreamy vocals invite you to search for the truth and to give credit to the people: “You will touch with your hands / Days full of sweetness / You will discover in everyone else / Another one like you...”.
 
 
The “black magic” of war keep on storming on the third track, the long instrumental “VII Tempo” (originally named "Prologo Parte III"), where frenzy rhythms and gloomy atmospheres prevail...
 
The fourth track, “I Tempo” (originally named "Riflessione Parte I"), begins with the electric guitar in the forefront and heavy rhythms, but after a while the “storm” gives way to a tense and bitter reflection about the effects of war... “I remember that lawn / Covered with flowers / I was happily running / In the light of the sun... Now I can see that place again / Thousands of crosses / Cover the lawn / Blacken the sun... Unaware men / Get the bones / The only harvest / Of so many crazy sowings...”.
 
 
“II Tempo” (originally named "Riflessione Parte II") is a short, soft and dreamy instrumental that leads to “III Tempo” (originally named "Epilogo Parte I"), where hope seems to born again along with the vocals soaring upon a delicate piano pattern... People fed up with war is moving war to war: “Listen, a scream is rising / Look, the crowd is already moving / They’re calling you...”.
 
The rhythm becomes frenzy again while revolution starts... The classical inspired organ fugue of “IV tempo” (originally named "Epilogo Parte II) and the final acoustic guitar arpeggio that marks the restored peace concludes a great album...

Andrea, I really loved your insights into Procession, one of my favorite bands.  Your comments inspired me to listen to the albums again!  Grazie!  And Capra sounds like interesting guitar music.

NEW EXPLORATIONS OF THE PAST...
 
Procession are an Italian prog band from Turin that was formed in 1972. In 2006 founder member and guitarist Roby Munciguerra reformed the band with a new line up to perform on stage the old repertoire with new arrangements. They recorded also a new album Esplorare featuring old stuff rearranged and a new track...
 
 
 
On their debut album, “Frontiera” the line up featured Gianfranco Gaza (vocals, harmonica), Angelo Girardi (bass, electric mandolin), Marcello Capra (electric and acoustic guitar), Giancarlo Capello (drums, percussion) and Roby Munciguerra (electric and acoustic guitar). The album was recorded in a week in Rome for the Help label. The music alternates hard and raw passages with electric guitars in the forefront to delicate and reflexive atmospheres where acoustic passages prevail. It’s a concept album that deals with the problem of immigration from Southern Italy to the North and its industrialized cities like Turin or Milan. Lyrics were signed by Marina Comin, the same lyricist as Raccomandata Ricevuta Ritorno’s Per... Un Mondo Di Cristallo.
 
The opener “Ancora una notte” (One more night) opens with an acoustic guitar arpeggio, then the electric guitar and the rhythm section bring in a dark sense of impending change. Lyrics describe the last night of an immigrant before leaving his native village for the big city and an uncertain destiny... “One more night and the train will set off / But in this last night I can’t sleep / I’ve waited too long for this day / Now I’m scared / I fear that my life could end there...”. The body is going to leave but the roots are not broken yet and this contrast is underlined by the music.
 
 
“Uomini e illusioni” (Men and illusions) starts with a fiery electric tarantella (that could remind of PFM’s “E’ festa”). Lyrics describe the train carrying its burden of men and illusions while running through Italy, from South to North, men who feel strangers in their own Homeland... “I will have to live my life / Like a clown compelled to smile / Even when his son is dying / I can’t show any pain...”.
 
 
“Città grande” (Big city) opens with a delicate acoustic arpeggio, music and lyrics describe the arrival in the big city and the feeling of pain for family and home left behind, the struggle for a job, then the feeling of hope for a better world and society where people can survive without leaving home... “Big city I’m here... I left my mother, my girlfriend and perhaps my joy to live / But hope makes me go on / And I will live of hope...”.
 
“Incontro” (Meeting) is a joyful ballad featuring strummed acoustic guitar and flute. Music and lyrics describe the meeting between the protagonist and a boy about twenty years old. The boy talks about friendship, love, freedom and equality... “We’re all alike / You can find thousand friends / If you look for them with your heart / There are no limits / If you live into love...”.
 
“Anche io sono un uomo” (I’m a man as well) is a delicate and melancholic track about equality and awareness. The protagonist thanks the boy for the new hope but then awareness that not everyone thinks in the same way rises... “How many people treat me like a man and don’t judge me? / How many people did understand that I’m a man like you?”.
 
The long and complex “Un mondo di libertà” (A world of freedom) is more aggressive. It starts softly but then fiery electric guitars start storming enraged notes. Then vocals come in and tension slackens... “You have lost your freedom / But I’m not speaking with you just because of pity / There’s a whole world around you that loves you like me / It’s true that everyone here minds just to his own business / But you are a man and you’ll find your way...”. Lyrics are a kind of preach against resignation, all in all every place is the same and life is not so bad...
 
 
“Solo 1” (Alone) begins as an electric rock and roll... “Alone again, alone again in the big city / You look around you /  Trying to understand where to go...”. Then rock and roll melts in something very different and moody...
 
 “Un ombra che vaga” (A wondering shadow) begins with hard guitar riffs shaping a troubled and desperate mood... Then comes a sudden change of atmosphere and acoustic guitar and vocals describe what seems to be just a wondering shadow, a living ghost... “Your future life is like a dark shadow / You see your hopes into the eyes of the night / Houses seem big but they are colourless / You would like to be at home / But you can’t come back....”. Then, on “Solo 2” rock and roll and loneliness are back for another desperate ride in the big city...  “Alone again, alone again in the big city / You look around you / Trying to understand where to go...”.
 
 
Hopes and disappointments, rage and love, friendship and loneliness, hard rock and acoustic passages... On the whole a very good album with good ideas and some ingenuities.
 
After the debut album “Frontiera” released in 1972, Procession released their second album for the record label Fonit Cetra in 1974 with a different line up festuring original members Gianfranco Gaza (vocals) and Roby Munciguerra (guitars) plus Maurizio Gianotti (sax, flute) and Paolo D’Angelo (bass). In studio they were helped by some guests musicians like drummer Francesco Froggio Francica (Raccomandata Ricevuta Ritorno), keyboardist Ettore Vigo (Delirium) and vocalist Silvana Aliotta (Circus 2000). The result was excellent. The overall sound is less raw and aggressive if compared with the previous album and dreamy acoustic atmospheres prevail while lyrics by Marina Comin perfectly fit the music blending dreams and reality.
 
 The opener “Uomini di vento” (Men of wind) starts with a rhythm percussion pattern, then electric guitar comes in... “The wind blows strongly by now / Men run away because they can’t stand it...”. Sax, flutes and vocals depict a world stormed by the wind where scared shadows are looking for a shelter. Reality and its hypocrisies are swept away...
 
 
“Un mondo sprecato” (A wasted world) is more reflexive and darker and features good electric guitar and sax solos... “I wasted a world trying to understand / But I don’t know how to begin / Man, you look at me and you don’t understand / I used to live like you / A bitter life like many others / But I made up my mind and now I know / You’re laughing at a clown / That has stopped playing with the wind by now... You are laughing without asking yourself what this tale could mean...”.
 
On the long and complex “C’era una volta” (Once upon a time) the band try to explore the “dark side of the moon” and sax and vocals every now and again run after Pink Floyd’s shadows... Lyrics are about a quest for true life: a child set off looking for the sense of life and when he thinks to have found it he realizes that he’s old by now and that he has wasted his time...
 
 
“Notturno” begins softly, with acoustic guitar and flute drawing a strange and unquiet dreamy atmosphere... “A boat sails lightly on the see / There’s a man on the edge / And the breeze wets his face / And the night gets darker / The man seems looking for life / But what is he looking for? He’s not a fisherman... And the sea gets darker and darker / And the man leaves the edge / Now the boat is lighter...”.
 
 “Il volo della paura” (The flight of fear) is another beautiful dreamy track. Lyrics depict a flock of seagulls that darken the sky. When they land all together the earth is shaken. Men that can’t fly are scared and remain on their shaken world where there’s only a wall left, so hard to climb... Just thousand wings and so much fear!
 
 
The final title track “Fiaba” (Fairy tale) describes a village on top of a hill where live people refusing the rules of the world and enjoy their peace... I think that the inlay painting featuring classical and rock musicians climbing the hill describes this track better than words...
