Easter Island's self-titled 1979 masterpiece rightfully stands in the midst of the top 10 US Prog Classics. It offers an emotionally captivating experience, marked by the melodic ebb and flow that is definitive of dexterously multilayered symphonic prog, interwoven with outbursts of heavy riffs. From the lush Mellotron textures and melodic bass lines of Genius of the Dance to the heavy progression of Face-to-Face, this is an album that grows within its listeners like a benevolent virus. The highlight of the album is the 17-minutes long Alchemist’s Suite, including the oneiric sequence of Telesterion, an evocative tribal piece of percussion and electronics that radiates with spacey keys and adds an almost cinematic twist to the album’s lavish tapestry. This is a strictly limited to 400 copies reissue, in 2 numbered pressings (250 black and 150 splatter vinyl), a true testament to Easter Island’s oeuvre, featuring the original covers artwork, and including a Bonus CD with rare and unreleased live tracks and a 12-page booklet with the official band’s biography and previously unseen photographic material.

Quintet, Kimio Mizutani, Terry Brooks & Strange, Necronomicon, The Spoils of War, Electric Orange After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymous track covering most of the 2 sides. Although the prog progression at the beginning of Where Are We G...

RIALZU biography

By
  RIALZU biography by Gilles Renne (Rialzu) and Alain Lebon (Soleil Zeuhl)   It was during the rebirth of the Corsican Independence movement that the only record of RIALZU appeared. RIALZU, a band whose musical adventure plunges me back into the far-away and almost ghostly universe of my youth.   RIALZU was created in the early 1970’s at the peak of an incredible musical effervescence : many bands, soon to become legends, were breaking musical taboos and adventuring onto virgin territories by mixing musical styles with incredible creativity and thus laying the new foundations of music yet to be. It was in this atmosphere that, as a teenager, I began teaching myself to play the guitar by trying to decipher the magical notes of my ‘guitar heroes’ from their albums. I met Christophe Mac Daniel, a young organist from Corsica, at a Jesuit boarding school in Avignon. Together we took our first musical steps by starting up a band (of ever-changing names) with two other...

Although they performed regularly in staple venues and events such Ashton Court Festival (1978), the Rock Garden, the ICA in London, Glastonbury and Stonehenge between 1974-1979, they only recorded a one-off gem in 1977, The World At Mind’s End. A testament to its members’ musical virtuosity, including Steve Robshaw’s outstanding guitar-playing skills, flutework and violin, Paul Todd on soprano saxophone and Howard Scarr’s expertise wit...
