South African singer, guitarist, sitar player, and composer (March 28, 1947 – May 24, 2007) exmember of Abstract Truth, and Freedom's Children.
This is a progessive rock album, soundtrack of the Multi Media Show "Let Us Become Man".
Guercia biography
A group active during the early 70's, La Guercia Figura Goffa, from the Ravenna area, had a good live activity but failed to release an album.
They only issued it in 1982, as a self-produced limited pressing, with old tracks re-recorded and the name shortened to Guercia on the cover.
The album has prominent use of keyboards and guitar, the eight tracks all have a good musical structure and competent playing, but the LP sounds probably a bit too distant from a 70's group, especially in the vocal and keyboards arrangements.

It's more pop oriented than progressive, and the horn rock never really takes off like Chicago or McLuhan for example. Most of Side 1 is satisfying, though I could do without the second part of 'Rainbows on My Face' and 'Desperation, I Love You'. Side 2 is superb throughout, and the track length is never padded with any kind of aimless solos (I had dreaded the insipid drum solo, but none to be found). It takes a couple of listens to adjust the ears on this. It's unique, though not unfamiliar.

"The band released their only album in 1978 during the last throes of the Quebec Progressive Rock movement. The group was centered around guitarist Gaétan LAURENDEAU, who composed all the music. The band also included Serge FRÉCHETTE (Sax, lead vocals), Lorraine BLANCHARD (keyboards, vocals), Serge MARTINEAU (bass) and Marc PRUD'HOMME (drums). The album has slight influences from ANGE, ATOLL and MORSE CODE. The second side of the album is superior with the remarkable pieces "Le Baron de la Soupière" (which resembles NEKTAR attempting a GENESIS tune) and "Si la vie vous intéresse" (a more commercial version of KING CRIMSON). Gaétan Laurendeau now operates a recording studio offering his compositional talents. Several original songs from the band's repertoire around the time the remain to be recorded."

One of the stranger additions the RPI team have had to deal with is this collaboration from Genova. PERSIMFANS was formed in 1978 by a group of music students. Their name is an abbreviation of a conductorless Russian symphony orchestra - Pervyi Simfonicheskii Ansambl that performed between 1922 and 1932.
This unusual formation released one album titled "Quinta Dimensione" in 1978 which is an atmospheric blend of the avant-garde, electronic, symphonic and classical. The original album featured spoken word vocals of wizard TONY BINARELLI which are missing from the later CD reissue. Five Tarot cards were also presented in the original release."

"Band leader, multi-instrumentalist and pianist for Mike Westbrook's Big Band, Billy blends a hint of Canterbury-scene with jazz and folk, bringing forth their new offering, Unrecorded Beam.
This mini-epic concept album, set to the poetry of American Transcendentalist, Henry David Thoreau, connotes nostalgia and whimsy, whilst pushing the experimental/free-improvisational boundaries; warranting its release with the longstanding avant-garde label, Leo Records. "

"Now oop -here's the dusty groove review:
A classic bit of 70s funk from Germany .This rare 1975 set was the brainchild of 3 of Germany's funkiest jazz players -- drummer Charly Antolini, whose drums crackled on some of the best MPS recordings; keyboardist Max Greger Jr, who made some great straighter albums in the 60s; and bassist Milan Pilar, an electric player with a really warm and round tone. Together, the trio grooves through some excellent funky numbers really jamming with a soulful groove, as Greger switches effortlessly between piano, moog, Fender Rhodes, mellotron, and organ! Includes the funky break classic "Onkel Joe" plus gems like "Moonlight On a Bald Head", "Catch Up", "Blues For The Kaiser", "Lydia", and "Spinning Wheel". Their first album 'Catch Up' was recorded in 1975 in the legendary Munich Studios, for the label Calig. Rare Groove addicts consider this album as a speciality"

Somewhere next to Tolkien and Arthurian concept albums are those esoteric prehistory concepts like pages from Chariots of the Gods?. Robert Connolly's Plateau even has campy narration to help the storyline along, detracting from this analog-heavy symphonic music in a manner that even surpasses the Dark Side of the Moon or Renaissance-like vocals on the opening cuts. So in a way, Plateau could be a poster child for everything excessive about prog-rock - the esoteric subject matter, the heavy keyboards, the overwrought melodrama, and the stylistic nods to Yes and even the Alan Parsons Project. Obviously the compositional work of one guy, most of the themes don't even approach the intricacy of his influences, staying to either simple keyboard/organ romps or guitar-led ballads. And while the narration quickly becomes irritating, once the male vocals start up, you'll be praying for it to return. Yes, Plateau has some nice proggy sections, those overused minor key progressions with mellotrons and monophonic synth leads, but as late as 1978, this sort of mainstream/AOR tinged symphonic rock had lost any sense of freshness. While this is surely a better album than, say, something by Starcastle or Styx, I'd tier it underneath music by England or other standout late 70s symphonic artists such as Happy the Man. For proggy prog fans with their blinders stil attached only.
