Subtitled A TRIBUTE TO ITALIAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK OF THE SEVENTIES, this release employs numerous prog artists who were current in 1997 (many of them Italian) to interpret 49 tracks from the classic Italian progressive bands of the 1970's. This release is similar to Musea Records' joint projects with the magazine Collosus, but instead of focusing on epic myths and folk tales, the reference to Zarathustra in this boxed set's title is intended to invoke the name of Museo Rosenbach's groundbreaking release of the same name. Packaged in a large, hardback book-style case, with the first two discs mounted in digi-trays on the left side, and discs 3 and 4 mounted on the right side, there is a colorful, 40 page insert mounted in the middle, which provides discographic information about each of the performing artists, as well as the origins of each track. This project was incredibly well done. With several pages of essays, mostly in Italian (except for a short note in English by Scott McGill of Finneus Gauge), the track listings, and other information is in English. The thick, mounted insert is also well illustrated. Among the artists covered in this collection are Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Pierrot Lunaire, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Le Orme, Goblin, Osanna, and many others. Performing these classic works are artists, many of which have, themselves, since become classics in their own right, such as Finisterre, Mad Crayon, A Piedi Nudi, Zauber, Mary Newsletter, Hostsonaten, Fonya, Nostalgia, Gerard, Ars Nova, Mouse, and lots more! With over four hours of music, this massive collection will keep the student of progressive rock well occupied.

Italian Progressive music from the 7O’s represents a large and varied diversity of expression. I feel that the Italian bands from this period have made a great contribution to the genre and should be very proud of their accomplishments. Special thanks to Mellow for their recognition of the importance of this fine music and the influence it has had on today’s progressive rock artists. It is with great pleasure that we pay tribute to and submit our version of one of my favorites: “Sconcerto” by II Baricentro. ~ SCOTT MC GILL - FINNEUS GAUGE
