Horus - Stelle di Battaglia (Italy Rock Progressivo Italiano Recorded 1978-79/Released 1993)

Подробнее о видео

1. This five-piece band from Turin had a nice single back in 1978 which went relatively unnoticed. Probably arriving too late on the prog scene, they never had a chance to release a full album and then just disappeared from the map. Lately, Mellow Records have dug out some of their old tapes and combined the material with the single on a short CD called "Stelle di Battaglia". Taking the symphonic elements from LOCANDA DELLE FATE, PROCESSION and Le ORME, the album has a relatively good sound and decent vocals with keyboards very much in the forefront. Nice addition to any Italian symphonic prog collection.

2. The material for the album was recorded in Turin at G7 studios in December of 1978 but was never completed. Only two tracks were finished and released as singles. The other tracks were discovered by Mellow (thanks yet again, dear Mauro) years later in demo form and from those six tracks this album was assembled. The album is short at 30 minutes but if you tend to enjoy this kind of spacey-fusion jamming you may well enjoy Horus. They remind me most of the French band Eclat which also mixes spacey rock with instrumental fusion jamming and occasional folk/rock sounds. Horus lacks the sophistication in their recording that Eclat found in recent years but they don't lack the chops. These guys can play and they have some nice melodies here as well. One review I found buried deep in a newsgroup called the sound more like '74-75 than the later '70s, and mentioned Itoiz as a band Horus reminded him of. Other bands that remind me of what Horus is attempting here are Lebisol, the superb Lotus, and my namesake group Finnforest. Again, all three of these bands have made albums quite superior to Horus due to the unfortunate production issues here but it gives you an idea what the goals were.
