Title:
Caution Radiation Area
Label:
GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$20.00
Catalog #:
GET 5102
"2nd album originally released in 1974 for the massively influential Italian progressive group (lead by Demetrio Stratos) that with 'Caution Radiation Area' added increasing levels of fringe experimentation to their already weird recipe. Stratos' vocal comes off throughout as one-third Pavarotti, one-third haunted house, and one-third Diamanda Galas' long-lost brother. Primitive drums and electronics, intense dustbowl jams, ARP synthesizers, a blizzard of speaking voices, Fender Rhodes solos, wavering Middle Eastern hummingbird and modes, ghostly voices morphing into tortured cries. Original artwork. 180 gram HQ vinyl."

Crac!

GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$20.00
Catalog #:
GET 5103LP
"Third album originally on Cramps. Their uncompromising blend of jazz-rock, ethnic folk, experimentation, and political philosophies made them a unique presence in Italy during the 70s. This is the best evidence of the band's crazy fusion: furious, mind-bending rhythms and melodies balanced with humor and the avant garde. Gatefold sleeve, 180 gram vinyl."

Title:
Are(A)zione
Label:
GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$20.00
Catalog #:
GET 5104
"Their fourth album (originally released in 1975 on Cramps) was a live recorded uncompromising blend of jazz-rock, ethnic folk, experimentation and political philosophies. The Area's unique sound combined the punch of rock and the frightening chaos of experimental music. The 'International POPular Group' was a fascinating band. This album contains one song from each of their previous records plus a 15-minute jam (the title song) and a free-jazz interpretation of 'L'Internazionale'. Original artwork. Gatefold sleeve. 180 gram HQ vinyl."

Title:
Tangled In
Label:
STEADFAST RECORDS
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
SFV 009EP
Chicago-based
Area
's first artist release on Steadfast fuses genres and eras into distinctive, driving productions. The vocal-driven A-side features bass swagger, heavy syncopation, and spacious dub darkness. The original version is a slow-building, trippy, club-oriented joint. The "Bonus Level" version twists the claustrophobic atmosphere with a Chicago-bred bass line-driven jack beat. There is also a sensational remix of
Echologist
's "Dirt." The release concludes with a beatless version of "Tangled In," focusing on the textures and vocals from the original.

Tic & Tac
Label:
VINYL MAGIC (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$34.00
Catalog #:
VM 141LP
"Area were one of the more varied Italian bands with their distinctive mix of prog and jazz genres. Without a question Area's early '70s work is pure classic Ital prog.
Tic & Tac
was released in 1980 after Demetrio Stratos' death. Sounding something in between Soft Machine and Uzeb, this album moves and moves, and never really stops and takes a breath. The band lineup included Patrizio Fariselli (acoustic piano, M.C.S. 70 synthesizer and electric piano), Larry Nocella (tenor sax), Giulio Capiozzo (drums), Ares Tavolazzi (electric bass, double bass, guitar), Guido Guidoboni (trumpet), Luciano Biasutti (trumpet). Reprinted in beautiful LP version."
