Museum Musica

Italy, 1973, avant-prog / progressive rock / jazz-rock

Area – Arbeit macht frei: The opening spoken-word vocals sound like a plea or an invocation and then lead into some wacky, weird music. Some of the warbling in the vocals reminds me of Tim Buckley. Doorbell keyboards balance jazzy bass lines. It feels like the percussion wakes the vocalist, like a dreamer, at the end of the album.
