| Sandro Brugnolini's 1969-70 psych sessions with I MARC 4 members was released as Superground by Four Flies Records in 2019. |
Here's the scoop...
What if the infamous UNDERGROUND and OVERGROUND albums had a third psychedelic chapter, still secret and unreleased until today?
Yes, you heard correctly: this SUPERGROUND LP is sonically akin to the legendary pair for which composer Sandro Brugnolini – who passed away in 2020 at the age of 89 – will always shine worldwide, and ideally brings the trilogy to a close. Composed and recorded in two sessions between July 1969 and November 1970, using members of reliable sound library crew I MARC 4. Whether Brugnolini was working on the recordings for a specific film project remains a mystery although some music wound up being used for the 1969 animated short “Radice Quadrata di Tre,” a little art-film comment on consumer society directed by Pino Zac.
The recordings all employ the terrific I MARC 4 members Antonello Vannucchi (organ), Maurizio Majorana (bass), Roberto Podio (drums), along with Angelo Baroncini (guitar) replacing Carlo Pes. An incredible groovy combo that plays a strange psychedelic rock and r’n’b with a funky flavour.
Another lost masterpiece from Italian golden age soundtracks finally rescued and and put on wax by Italy's Four Flies Records with some mastering assistance byFabrizio De Carolis at Rome's Reference Mastering Studio. Get it via Bandcamp right here.
