Tripazia - The Babbalons - Mixer - The Hober's Band

Hi everyone. Today I’m sharing another cassette. Side A begins with tracks by Tripazia (Patrizia Satulli), from the label Dany Record. The sound is rooted in synth-pop and funk, with a touch of soul. My personal favorites are "The White Calf" and "The Griefs Of Gulf". Next, there are tracks by The Hober's Band, composed and edited by Mixer (Fabrizio Trionfera) under the label Tolfa Record; my picks are "Occhi Verdi", "Dolce Vita", "Foglie Morte", "Non Credere", and "Passione". To wrap things up, there’s an instrumental piece from Fonit Cetra titled "Denver City Sound", composed by Patrizia Lazzari and Daniele Maggiore. The tape concludes with the tracks "Denver" and "Oriental Confusion", released via Edizioni Goldfinger and Emergency Music Italy. I hope you enjoy it! 1 HOUR LONG.

First Review: [Cenacolo] - M 715 - Leonardo Marletta - Percussioni ed Effetti (197x)

Hello everyone. Today I’m sharing my first review, in which I take a look at an album, or release, that has been published both inside and outside the library. Let's travel around 70s, a time when during those years, "Percussioni ed Effetti" was released by Leonardo Marletta by the Cenacolo label, under Edizioni Musicali Giraffa. Years later, in 1983, a remaster was released featuring a more colorful cover. It appeared again in 2019, under the Intervallo label, but was limited to 300 copies. Below, I provide a comparison of the covers.

My Opinion

I like many albums, but this one, in my opinion, is just average. Although it features some quite catchy tracks that were well ahead of their time, I’d give it a 7 out of 10; some of the tracks lack much rhythm.

Deuter - Ecstasy - Andreas Vollenweider - Down to the Moon - [Cassette Rip]

Here are two albums; on side A is the album from Deuter named "Ecstasy" from 1979. Rooted in New Age, ambient, and Krautrock, it features simple harmonies, a slow tempo, and a meditative quality. Ideal for relaxation.

And then, on side B, we have Andreas Vollenweider, with "Down to the Moon" from 1986. This piece is set in an instrumental New Age style, featuring the harp as the lead voice, bright and crystalline arrangements, gentle percussion, and a contemplative atmosphere.
