Tic and Tac

VINYL FORMAT. Area were one of the more varied Italian bands with their distinctive mix of prog and jazz genres. Without a question Area's early '70s work is pure classic Ital prog. Tic and Tac was released in 1980 after Demetrio Stratos' death. Sounding something in between Soft Machine and Uzeb, this album moves and moves, and never really stops and takes a breath. The band lineup included Patrizio Fariselli (acoustic piano, M.C.S. 70 synthesizer and electric piano), Larry Nocella (tenor sax), Giulio Capiozzo (drums), Ares Tavolazzi (electric bass, double bass, guitar), Guido Guidoboni (trumpet), Luciano Biasutti (trumpet).
