Rustichelli e Bordini: Opera prima (1973)

The Buck Camel indifference begins in May 1972 Festival Pop Villa Pamphili few months later and obtained a recording contract with the Delta, a subsidiary that the RCA had already hosted the Flea on the Honey and the former Metamorphosis Davide Spitaleri .
Unfortunately, again failing to produce anything concrete, they are advised to change definitely register.

From the group then come off the keyboard player Paolo Rustichelli (son of the famous Charles, author of soundtracks) and percussionist Carlo Bordini they consider self-sufficient, they form an unusual duo keyboards battery, even managing to get a contract with RCA and record an album of interesting Italian prog.

of this work is entitled "Opera first" surprise first sounds.
agree that the RCA had means powerful, but what staggers at first hearing is that although the disc made with only two instruments (keyboards and drums) , it seems to be in front of an entire orchestra.

Rustichelli handle at least a dozen keyboards, both acoustic and electronic returning an extraordinarily dense and complete dynamic range where even the low frequencies are reproduced properly with appropriate phrasing and adhere to its role harmonic.

The powerful drumming Bands does the rest embroidering form, are the harmonies with class and power, and completing the harmonic spectrum with an incessant drumming.

This bonanza has masterfully summed up in the opening track, " Nativity" in which they emerge continuously the quality of this production: an orgy of keyboards suspended between openness and romantic views of die hard restarts -prog.

The rest of the album, however, gives way aun bit 'too convoluted sound without touching the top of the first track, aided especially questionable actions of a monotonous voice and shouted, that seems to want to " break "rather than" enrich "the sophisticated instrumental arrangements.

note of praise, however, for" Sweet Sister "proud and romantic in which the dedication rests is a pleasant alternating between structure full and empty, is a hymn that fails this time, to give the best.

In closing, it strikes again " Cammellandia " (title inspired by the former group, probably the two musicians) that surprising variety and sophistication.

In the end, still a bit 'of bitter taste in mouth for what (ex-post) will prove the last song of the couple Rustichelli - Bands : after "Opera Prima", borders will become part of the "Five Cherry" (future Goblin) and Rustichelli, emigrated in America, will focus entirely on movies.
"Lucky" or "unfortunately"? Who knows?

However I pass a secret for me " Nativity" is one of the best tracks of the progressive Italian.
