As sometimes happens, the eponymous \u201cKundalin\u00ee Shakti Dev\u00ee\u201d release is a mysterious album, hidden for decades – was recorded back in 1974! – on a tape stored in some drawer, that has been reopened and rediscovered only today. History repeats: the mastermind of the project, Roberto \u201cParamhansa\u201d Puddu, managed to put together an ensemble of seven musicians with whom he recorded three long tracks, lasting an average of over 15 minutes each, but the genre in 1974 was already struggling to attract the interest of some music manager who could produce and distribute the LP.<\/p>\n
The music is inspired by the classic Italian progressive rock, with lyrics about science fiction (“Sensitivity”, “Galactic Museum”) and criticism of the consumer society (“Flash”), while the \u2018external\u2019 influences ‘external’ carry the name of Van Der Graaf Generator and some German cosmic music \u2013 just listen to the long instrumental song sections to realize that yourself!<\/p>\n
An exceptional discovery, to stay besides the minor \u2013 but not less important, of course! \u2013 classics of Italian prog.<\/p>\n
