Steeplejack is one of the oddest and most intense experiences emerged from the Italian underground during the 80's Now Steeplejack are back with a new double album, a collaboration with some of the most active indie labels of the Italian underground scene: Area Pirata, Psych Out and Rock Bottom. The overall theme of "Dream Market Radio" - as the title suggests - is about dreams and dreaming. The 15 compositions are divided into four "chapters" and are a journey into the inner universe of the group's deus ex machina Maurizio Curadi and his bandmates Alessandro Tellini and Elio Gavarini. Often hanging in the balance between structure and abstraction, Curadi's music lends itself to group improvisation, creating a sort of "total psychedelia" where experimentation and tradition merge and become one. "Dream Market Radio" is a wonderful psychedelic album where the adjective 'psychedelic' refers to an inner mental space where images and sensations freely flow. That's because between velvet smoothnesses and sharp edges, hypnotic patterns and wild rhythms, visions of meadows and sunsets and arcane mysterious figures take shape. You are swept away into the dreamy atmospheres of the music. It's a magic enchantment born from a "strange" combination of lysergic rock, primitive blues, acid folk and ethnic music, all distilled in 13 original tracks plus a transfigured cover of Captain Beefheart's "Kandy Korn" and a heavily revisited ancient traditional song ("Gallows Pole"). Follow Gil Scott-Heron's advice and find a place by yourself, turn off your mobile, play "Dream Market Radio" and immerse yourself in the magical world of Steeplejack.

REVIEW Richard Allen - Shindig #42 09/2014 The West Coast proclaimers of the '80s Italian neo-Psychedelic underground return with this stunningly ambitious double LP. Multi-instrumentalist Maurizio Curadi leads a trio completed by Alessandro Tellini on bass and Ello Gavarini on drums. What is immediately apparent is the much improved production given the bands '80s releases suffered from a thin sound. Opening cut the 'Matter of Dreams' swirls with psychedelic effects and the anticipated ringing west coast guitar solos. 'There Was a Time' follows with bewitching dreamy sitar and vocals over a pulsing bass line and impresses the listener further. A frantic garage rock rendition of Led Zeps 'Gallows Pole' delicate acoustic guitar piece 'Wild Oats and Stones' and the trippy improvised Quicksilver like "All the Time, All The Time, All The Time" are just some of the dazzling moments on this sure to be cult classic that perfectly absorbs its retro psychedelic references into a fresh contemporary whole. Vote: 5/5 | |||
