Il Rovescio Della Medaglia ‎– Contaminazione (RCA Italiana ‎– DPSL 10593) 1973



RDM's third album sees them dabbling with 'aren't we clever fuckers' ELP territory,always a damgerous game.
It contains four pieces from Bach's "Well-tempered Clavier" seamlessly integrated with RDM's own Symphonic Rock beefed up with the arrangements of Oscar nominated Argentinian Spaghetti Western Soundtrack composer, Luis Bacalov. I don't think this collaboration was used as a soundtrack,but i could be wrong? If I am ,don't tell me! The world's overflowing with too much information and far too much choise as it is.Leave me just a little bit of mystery to make life magical once more please!?...he pleaded in vain!

so true. Do you ever see a 70's or 40's movie and
kind of luxuriate in the feeling of not being connected? All the characters have is a phone, and no answering machine. And mostly nobody died.

That sounds like my kind of film.....no plot, 2 dimensional characters,no dialogue, something unspoken exists outside frame, and it just ends.
Thats how i like my music too i guess?

Looking at your tag name...i guess you won't want any Canterbury prog posts in the distant future?....i am doing some EGG i pfink.
