Cervello - Melos

With a miniaturized gimmix cover identical to the original, having an open-up tomato can on the cover. Under the cover a black & white picture of the band wrapped in plastic foil.Original release in 1973. Similar to Osanna's Palepoli in instrumentation and ideas. But Cervello is far more polished, including more complex rhythm changes, arrangements and lacking the psychedelic edge of Osanna. Melos also involves a Greek concept in the album both lyrically and specially musically that becomes evident after the first careful listen.The album has all kinds of moods from the dark intro of Canto del Capro to the beautiful flute interludes of Euterpe. The electric sax gives a great sound in the harder parts and the vocals are very melodious and unique. There is great deal of excellent acoustic guitar work and mellotron-like sounds created by the saxophones. Of particular mention are the songs Trittico and Scinsione which contain some of the most melodic and complex arrangements of the album. These two songs are the best examples of what Cervello can do. The vocals coupled with the acoustic guitar and flutes hypnotize the listener into a technical yet fluid atmosphere so the music then breaks into a frenzy full of sax and adventurous guitar playing. The tempo and mood change from calm and melodic to violent and bizarre (interweaving between scales).The rhythms can be rather odd at times and it can take some listeners more than a couple listens to enjoy this album to the max, but there is no doubt this is a majestic effort. No keyboards present, but they are not needed due to the 'cerebral' arrangements these musicians have created for us on this album
