02032014 - Dedalus "Dedalus"

Once more we have an album chosen because of the album cover, because it's from 1973 and because, why not? And what we have here is part prog, part psychedelia, part jazz and all intriguing weirdness. There's "Meddle" era Pink Floyd in there right next to Hawkwind, Miles Davis, Soft Machine, and more. And these Italians blend everything together seemingly without effort. The instrumentals that make out this album are led by saxophone, guitar, electric piano and cello, and will be enjoyed by all lovers of obscure prog, fusionists and even fans of, say, Ozric Tentacles.
