Despite their short career, Cervello’s influence has never faded: Melos has been rediscovered and loved by generations of fans around the world, to the point of becoming a cult album. Today, fifty years later, Cervello returns with Chaire—produced by Corrado Rustici and based on songs written between 1974 and 1983, now finally arranged and recorded over the last four years by the surviving original members:

Corrado Rustici – guitar, keyboards, vocals
Antonio Spagnolo – bass, acoustic guitar, recorder, vocals
Giulio D’Ambrosio – flute, saxophone, vocals
Gianluigi Di Franco – lead vocals
With the addition of Roberto Porta on drums

The irreplaceable voice and soul of Cervello, Gianluigi Di Franco passed away in 2005. Thanks to recent advances in audio restoration, his performances—saved from fragile two-track reels and cassettes of the time—have been revived, allowing Chaire to exist as both a tribute and a new creation.

To celebrate this return, Chaire is being released alongside a live recording from 1973, which immortalizes Cervello performing songs from their debut album and a previously unreleased instrumental. These two precious testimonies connect the band’s legendary debut with its current rebirth.

And a newly remastered version of Melos

Fifty years after Melos, Chaire is a testament to friendship, memory, and the enduring power of music. It’s a farewell and a farewell—a gift from the past, reborn for the present.
