Description

THE PRINCE Oliver O. Cook
1972 POLARIS label PROMO pressing, cat POL. - L.P.710, STEREO-MONO, Italy.

Hailing from from the same label of "I TEOREMI" Italian Prog. monster here's another great gem signed by obscure artists. The album is wrapped in a air of mistery, with all the tracks credited to the obscure "Wost" aka Bruno Pallesi and 'Oliver O. Cook', which we know from certain sources being the pseudonym of pianist, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Mario Battaini also known as the "Duke Of Burlington". Not sure it was conceipt as a 'Library' album, but contains 12 instrumental tracks dominated by the 'prepared piano', Battaini's trade-mark used to define 'pressed piano' techinque. The whole album is filled with killing spooky groove, Progressive and Psychedelic vibes, stunning Bboy driven beats and drum breaks to die for, percussions and Hip Hop Funk tunes. A totally killer one! Enjoy the long soundclip HERE.

Side A is totally outstanding with some very special jams. The terrific "I'M THE BOSS" with its percussive Psychedelic beat and Psychedelic Sax solo, sharp piano notes and guitar with heavy rhytmic session. "35th STREET" amazing funky riff and the incredible Bboy drum breaks with the constant piano accompaniment, Psychedelic guitar and flute. "GENIUS" is another killer driven beat with insane Hip Hop drumming and dope Progressive Funk refrains. "HEY! ARETHA" aggressive theme with loads of Psychedelic riffs, Progressive drums and loops. The heavy pressed piano beat of "THE BEATIFUL WORD" before the side closing "THE MAGIC DAY" sleaze Psych with repeating funky guitars. On the other side we find the Hip Hop Funk "COME INTO THE SUNSHINE", the distressing piano-themed "HOLYDAY FOR PIANO" with odd-tempo proggy drums, Psychedelic guitar and the groovy "KRAZY CAT" with moody tempo changes. The final "THE NEW TENNESSEE" is a Psychedelic Lounge ending-titles theme. A well-stocked assortiment of grooves and beats for sampling and crate diggers / djS / music producers / record collectors raw material.
