Audience 8.6 - A little thin but surprisingly clear, and man, just to hear this stuff I gotta say it’s a privilege. The material these bands came up with around this time – 1972-73 – it’s just a whole different world of rock and roll that most people were, and still are, completely unaware of. I like the experimental spaciness of the opening “jam sessions” with Franco Battiato (probably with members of the other bands), you get the feeling these guys were really tuned in to each other because it’s not recklessly chaotic, there’s a mystical beauty to it. The Quella Vecchia Locanda is just insane, too bad only one song, and it’s not complete, but I think only a small portion was missed I could be wrong. Garybaldi’s set consists of most of the Astrolabio record, which is very cool but I wished there was some of the Nuda stuff on here.
