Zallanayver - Folk Group - VINYL LP
About This Item

- Genre: Rock
- Description: Piero Umiliani's rich and diverse discography got us used to bold experimentalism, to excursions into popular music as into avantgarde. Nonetheless, while "The Folk Group" makes no surprise, it still represents a peculiar work within Umiliani's seemingly endless career. Originally published under the name of M. Zalla, an alias he especially used for those albums that were difficult to classify - and among which we must mention the extraordinary "Mondo Inquieto" and "Problemi d'oggi" - this album uncovers the Maestro's passion for folk and '60s/'70s music. Recorded for the Background Music series, we can only speculate that the music of this LP could have been used to score some Wild West documentary through the abundant use of acoustic and electric guitars and harmonica, Umiliani perfectly recreates that intimate feeling typical of blues and melancholic folk, allowing himself a few minor digressions. Isn't this surprising? Indeed it is, if we consider the rest of Umiliani's production, but it is evident that The Folk Group falls within the category of library music, those products commissioned and recorded for a specific purpose. Aside of standard (but great) tunes setting the mood such as "Folk Group", "New Fields", "Singin' the Tune" and "Young Time", the two songs that best characterize the album are the ones that unmistakably carry the mark of Piero Umiliani the bizarre "Guitar Improvisation" that closes the A side of the LP and the incredible and funky "Underworld" (a gem that we recommend to any hip-hop producer) that ends the B side. The amazing original front cover artwork deserves a special mention, since it was made (without any permission, we guess, and for no apparent reason) using a retouched photo of The Rolling Stones! Definitely, those were different times Album Tracks 1. Folk Group 2. Young Time 3. Debut 4. Mood Blues 5. Night River 6

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
