The Italian group Novalia, led by Federico Festuccia, Raffaello Simeoni, and Stefano Saletti, has been active since the late 80's through the post-punk era, sublimating jazz, Mediterranean music, contemporary music, ethnic music, more. This 1990 released album contains 10 tracks that blend folklore, jazz, modern classical, and post-punk with pagan grooves and Mediterranean ethno elements. With highlights such as A2/A3/A5/B2, it is sharpened to evoke all kinds of emotions. We thought it was only a vinyl release, but it seems a cassette version has been discovered. The sound quality is very clear and even this cassette version is pleasant to listen to.
現在も活動を続けるFederico Festuccia, Raffaello Simeoni, Stefano Salettiを中心に80年代後半よりポストパンク期を経てジャズ、地中海音楽、現代音楽、民族音楽などを昇華しながら活動を続けたイタリアングループNovalia。この90年作ではフォークロア、ジャズ、モダンクラシカル、ポストパンクなどを感じる音楽性に異教的グルーヴや地中海性エスノ成分がたっぷりと溶け込んだ全10曲を収録。A2/A3/A5/B2などを筆頭に感情を揺さぶる研ぎ澄まされた楽曲群。レコードのリリースだけだと思っていましたがカセット版が発見されたようです。音質も非常にクリアでこのカセット版でも気持ちよく聴いて頂けます。素晴らしい作品です。
