Arbeit Macht Frei
Label:
AKARMA (ITALY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
AK 1036-1CD
Formerly available as a 4CD box, these Area albums are individually reissued, with 24-bit remastering. "Debut album by the massively influential Italian progressive group, Area (lead by Demetrio Stratos), originally released in 1973 on the experimental Italian Cramps label. This ground-breaking album sailed Italian music into uncharted waters and right off the edge of the earth. Experimental politicized rock with overtures to prog and jazz all held together by Stratos' otherworldly vocals."

Price:

Catalog #:
AK 1036-2CD
24-bit remaster. "Originally released in 1974, the band's second album 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."

Catalog #:
AK 1036-3CD
24-bit remaster. "Originally released in 1975 on the experimental Italian label, Cramps, Area's third album is an eclectic furnace of jazz-rock, ethnic folk, experimentation and an ethically conscious manifesto for the arising of the masses, which made Area an icon of the Italian music scene of the 1970s. This is perhaps the best confirmation of the band's crazy fusion: furious, mind-bending rhythms and melodies balanced with humor and the avant-garde."

Catalog #:
AK 1036-4CD
24-bit remaster. "For their fourth album (originally released in 1975 on Cramps), Area's unique sound combined the punch of rock with 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.'" Miniature 4-paneled gatefold sleeve.

Catalog #:
AK 1038CD
"Recorded live at the University of Milan with Steve Lacy and Paul Litton during the period in which Area were working on their experimental Maledetti. Many jazz critics saw an affinity between Area's experimentalism and that of the jazz avant-garde.
Event 76
shows us the band's enormous live potential and puts an end to any idea that Area were a simple rock band. An important piece of Italian music history."
