This is 1998 remastered cd from 1973 Franco Battiato
"sulle corde di aries".
Working with a smaller band and greater range of side
players -- including, intriguingly enough, cellist Jane
Robertson, fresh from working with Don Cherry on
Relativity Suite -- Battiato aims at a somewhat more
grandiose level with Sulle Corde di Aires. Consisting
only of four pieces, the first of which, "Sequenze e
Frequenze," is a mostly instrumental number spanning a
full side, on the one hand Sulle Corde sounds like
Battiato taking himself a bit more seriously. On the
other, it contains enough vibrant life to be well worth a
listen beyond the world of prog fandom. The combination
of acoustic guitar elegance (credit Gianni Mocchetti in
particular for his work) and electronic drum pulse and
keyboard overdubs some four minutes into "Sequenze e
Frequenze," for instance, has a Krautrock-inspired life
of its own. Battiato subtly ups the ante a little bit
later with an increasingly wacky and fun kalimba sequence
over a rolling, stuttering synth/guitar loop that could
be right out of Pink Floyd's "One of These Days," with
even more keyboard drones and melodies adding to the
at-once serene and playful mood. The remaining three
songs offer up more in the way of general variety,
touching on everyone from acid-folk tribalism to hints of
neo-classical approaches, not to mention a playful
pseudo-Renaissance jam via oboe and clarinet combined
with Mochetti's mandolin on "Da Oriente ad Occidente."
The jazz connection hinted at via Robertson's appearance
on "Aria di Rivoluzione" gets a more conventional nod due
to Daniele Cavallanti's work on soprano sax and Gianni
Bedori's performance on regular saxophone. Both are
competent players if not uniquely inspired, but Bedori's
jamming on the increasingly intense "Aries" deserves a
nod. Battiato himself sings only at a few points on Sulle
Corde, but when he does, it continues the balanced mood
between seriousness and sheer joy.
