Francesco Cabiati ~ Italy

Mirage (1979)

Francesco Cabiati's sole album Mirage is mostly a primitive synthesizer affair with some rock trimmings. Comparisons to like minded artists such as Francesco Buccheri and Baffo Banfi would not be out of place. The synthesizers of choice were modern for the day, but sound fairly thin to modern ears I'm afraid, with the exception of the odd Moog solo. I find music like this charming and exploratory, though not necessarily mandatory. Worth seeking out for a listen or two, and those who specialize in 70s primitive electronics will enjoy it even that much more.

No CD reissues as of 2/23/25.
