Most of us know Area because of their incredible leader, Demetrio Stratos. But do you remember the outstanding drumming of Giulio Capiozzo? I mean, do you believe what you are hearing? The man is the most overlooked drummer in jazz/prog history. I had to make a thread about this amazing drummer. What do you think? -------------

"Il Buon Giulio"! A very talented man, not only as a drummer, but as a human being, representing the core and soul of the band. -------------

Dont know and dont care if he is the most overlooked or not, but i totally agree that he was an essential member of Area, his work on Arbeit Macht Frei is superb! ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

Add me to his fan club. This is the first appreciation thread I felt I had to contibute to. I mean, do you believe what you are hearing? Well said, Oracus. Its hard to believe. Can't think of any music that gets me more extatic than the opening and end of Cometa Rossa and then you get equally insane Zyg (Crescita Zero) right after that! Caution Radiation Area is probably my favorite percussion progalbum. (I love the other Area albums he's on too, of course). I don't know anything about music theory or timesignatures, but this simply has to be world-class, top shelf drumming!? ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |
