Francesco Cabiati

Truly obscure electronic/cosmic LP from the late 70's, Mirage is a rather unknown but now cult album released by Francesco Cabiati back in the 1979. It's a sci-fi cinematic electronic trip for long synthezised srings, melodic flavored sequences. It features some prog tinged arrengements but the general atmopshere tends to be relaxed if not goofy and kitschy (by moments). The self title track is an efficient spacey electronic improv but it could be perceived as a disappointed piece for fans of cerebral-kosmische eccentricities. Carovana reminds me weird lo-fi electronics for B grade horror movies (notably recordings from Fabio Frizzi, Nico Fidenco...). Chok is an ethereal, delicate electronic piece. Viagiattore nel tempo is a dynamic-moving minimal electronic soundscape within an atmosphere of mistery and secrecy. Recommended for fans of electronic inspired italian progressive music (Roberto Cacciapaglia, Baffo Banfi, Automat, Sangiuliano...).
