Cervello (Italian Edition)
Contents:
The interplay of multiple vocalists in the second minute is cool. The two-guitar interplay that follows with singing over the top is a little awkward, but the cacophonous buildup that follows with Corrado's blistering, bluesy guitar soloing over thick mix of saxes and Mellotrons is awesome.

By the time the one minute mark arrives the soundscape had moved more forward--except for the vocals that soon ensue--which remain in the far background. Drums, guitars, flutes, even Mellotron are all forward of the voice. Vibes and electric guitar take turns soloing over the acoustic guitar pretty picking--until voice and Mellotron jump in to declare their messages. This insistent, crazed weave seems to creep steadily forward even till the end. In my quest through Italian progressive music lately this perhaps might be my most rewarding find.
Melos the song I found mind-blowing the first time I heard it, but all the rest really had to grow on me. But that's only good, because: I'm afraid I regard music from another angle as most people do, I am not particularly interested in its technical aspects nor who's who and who did it with whom, For me the most important part about music is in which way it can play MY strings, i. It must "act" on me, it must impress me, it must touch my emotions, it must make me misunderstand.
Perhaps the latter being the most important; since in that way it's adventurous in the most ultimate way. Melos does it all.

It did take some time the misunderstanding , but then it hit very hard. Apparently from first listen until now I played this album some 12 times. Today particularly I really had to fight my tears touching my emotions. So, this album really took me by surprise impressed me , but not at the first listen!
It indeed is a grower, and a very rewarding one at that. I read the other reviews on it, I need to say that "technically" I can underscribe David's Guldbamsen remark on the way it sounds; "It's like a harmonious bird convention with added tumultuous rock". Despite the sometimes harsh "looking" sounds in fact it's rather pastoral.

It at times being harsh only accentuates that, but in it's core it's just very very beautiful. Real maybe, earthen, true. Another friend for life made in front of the loudspeakers here. Among many bands, especially in RPI, surely emerge those bands that have created only one album, leaving for the rest of life in the imagination of the listener, unforgettable melodies and a hint of dissatisfaction for the only one prog gem.
The talent of these one-shot band's musicians is often forgotten, probably for little know names.
But here the band formations is very impressive. The charming and powerful voice of Gianluigi Di Franco goes well with incredible guitar of Corrado Rustici, brother of Danilo who plays guitar whit most popular Osanna. Unfortunately Gianluigi Di Franco died in It's hard not to be impressed by the attention to details. Starting with the cover in which there is a pack of canned brain.

On original LP cover is possible to open this box under which appear the members of the band locked by spider's web. They want to recreate atmospheres of the past, of an old Greece lost, with magical and mysterious moments. But the surprise is when the album plays!

In the opening track "Il Canto Del Capro" the sing of the goat you can feel clearly a kind of black magic, as if a pagan ritual was in front of your eyes. A shiver down to the spine. Other songs are spectacular. Sophisticated time changes introduce an increasing singing with haunting guitars until come back again gentle chorus.
As two lighthouses the voice and the guitar light up the mind in "Scinsione T. M ", which at 4th minute is characterized by a wonderful crazy guitar. To embellish the album there's "Melos", melodic aspect of a song in Greek time 5 minutes of musical essence with a superb guitar solo. I'm a dreamer and when listening is at the end of the album it's as if I started to wander in dense universe, accompanied by that hypnotic voice, and then be awoken by the redundant final rhythm.
It's always the old unmistakable emotion, truly unique! It's an innate analogy that my mind always do. One of the most significant album of RPI. A tribute to human intelligence and art. A unique album in the history of Prog Rock destined to remain a solitary gem. I vividly remember reading Jim's Finnforest extraordinary review of Melos from back before I joined this site. Now whereas the surreal art work depicting a psychedelic can of tomatoes in the process of being opened already inevitably had drawn my attention, it was the review of the music standing next to it that made me purchase the album in a heartbeat.
So first and foremost a great big thank you goes to Jim for introducing me to this music. Wow, looking back now, I can hardly imagine having lived the last 5 years without Cervello's Melos in my life.

It means so much to me To start out on the wrong foot musically though, I'd like to point out the obscure and completely unrelated fact, that this record sounds remarkably close to an Italian version of Burnin' Red Ivanhoe. Who the feck is Burnin' Red Ivanhoe? Still, comparing obscure bands to equally obscure bands is something I genuinely adore. Their brand of psychedelic jazz rock is one that I haven't heard reproduced anywhere other than on Melos. Cervello are however from Italy, and you certainly get a whiff of the ol Mediterranean seaboard in the cheeky vocals, the constant flirtations with acoustic folk elements and perhaps even more so in the general warm vibe that permeates this gem.
That vibe comes from the lack of synths, or at least I certainly think so. Instead of focusing on the more luscious and creamy character of the symphonic school of melodies, Melos feeds off the natural and slightly breezy sway of jazz rock. Though most notably associated with the musical equivalent of all chops and no sauce, the fusion offered up on this baby is beyond melodic. It's like a harmonious bird convention with added tumultuous rock.
Through simple quirky reed sections with a mere 3 chords, this album soars into unknown heights of sonic bliss. Similarly to the aforementioned Danes, these guys have a way with melody that is second to none, and then with a charming crooked smile on their lips, like had the cheese just slit off their crackers, and a youthful nonchalance about em, Cervello then wraps up the remaining room of the album in a wild and adventurous strain of rock, that I have come to love so dearly.
There are moments on here where I get short out of the blue chills and feel the urge to spread my arms out and leap into the air. The ending pirouette rock of Euterpe with the sax and guitar lapping up against each other in the most ingenious manner conceivable, - the teenager inflicted anxiousness of the vocals that mixed with a nasal quality to them appear bittersweet and poetic throughout the record, - the inspiring windswept flute melody of Trittico, - the colourful spacey twang of the guitar in Scinsicne - all of these are highlights on a release that seems to be immune to any low points or meandering musical riff raff.
I hoover them up tenaciously with my ears and feel invigorated and ready to explode, like had I just licked the surface of a small star. If you decide to dive into this album on account of its rather peculiar take on RPI or just find yourself intrigued by the enigmatic cover, the one thing that truly matters is that you're diving into it - plowing yourself through one of the most original sounding records from the Italian scene.
And if anything, Melos continues to show itself as a timeless piece of art each and every time you return to it.
CERVELLO discography and reviews
Cervello hit a nerve back when they recorded this thing, that's for damn sure, and as a consequence of that we're now able to tap into the mainline whenever we feel the urge for an electric jolt of genius. Review by Warthur Prog Reviewer. Review by apps79 Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator. La multinazionale americana Mapture del Presidente Price ha deciso di inaugurare a Napoli, tra lo stupore generale, la Hackademy, prima accademia mondiale dello sviluppo tecnologico.
Si tratta di una nuova idea di formazione i cui docenti hanno accuratamente selezionato in tutto il mondo 25 allievi per studiare materie come Crittografia, Microelettronica, Cinese applicato al linguaggio macchina, Hackeraggio, Meccanica quantistica sperimentale…. Grazie a questo il Professore Yaki scopre la Dimensione Zita e, diventato cieco di proposito per averne il controllo, aumenta esponenzialmente il potere della propria mente realizzando, insieme alla sua collaboratrice Anouk Silami, macchine potentissime per attuare il proprio piano di vendetta. Le grandi nazioni del mondo poco possono contro la potenza di Yaki che assume il ruolo di guida degli Stati Uniti per mettere in atto il programma di pulizia del pianeta Terra.
Christina e Tommaso scoprono di avere poteri speciali per effetto degli studi dei rispettivi genitori. In particolare Tommaso gradualmente diventa Todimax, il ragazzo con il volto parzialmente coperto dal berretto, rivisitazione moderna ed aggressiva di Pulcinella, capace di competere con Yaki nella dimensione parallela da cui tutto scaturisce.
