Poliphony (1973)
Poliphony is a very nice instrumental jazz psych record. Not too far from some of the Italian film library bands like Fourth Sensation or Psycheground - or even the UK group Hungry Wolf. Some pointed fuzz guitar leads (such as the opener 'Underdog') and flute forays add gravitas. Elsewhere, there's some jazz-tone guitar and plenty of Rhodes, typical of the genre. From a psychedelic perspective, a little more fire in the belly would have lead to a better experience. On the other hand, though low-key in nature, the album progresses nicely, providing a nice soundtrack to a midday walk in the park.
Former ownership: 2012 Audio Archives (CD). Historical liner notes. Likely a vinyl transcription, but it's well done. Audio Archives decided to change the color from the original beige to a pinkish hue - perhaps to its advantage. Acquired in 2014. Downsized in 2026.
