Przepraszam, Czy tu Bija? (1976)

Short-lived Argentinian supergroup, that came to life in 1975 after the demise of Sui Generis. Initially Polifemo started as a Blues Rock trio with Sui Generis's Rinaldo Rafanelli on bass and Juan Rodriguez on bass along with guitarist David Lebón (ex-Pappo's Blues and a bandmate of Rinaldo Rafanelli in Color Humano). After a first single in 1975 the trio was joined by Espíritu's keyboardist Ciro Fogliatta and Polifemo, who had already singed with EMI, debuted in May 1976 with a self-titled debut.
While the basis of Polifemo's music was still a standard well-played Blues Rock, the presence of Fogliatta and the anxious spirits of the rest of the band make "Polifemo" much more than a rock release full of bluesy solos and grooves…

One of the most cosmic records from Italy, which combines obvious Canterburian influences, (evoke "Rock bottom" at times), a Zappaïan humorous/collage side and a good dose of space cosmic rock ("Seppia" being quite reminescent of Gong/"You"). Plus a typical Italian style, through a warm pastoral mood. Each piece creates a unique atmosphere."Off" is a delicate evanescent piece. A superb neo canterburyan effort and a must from Italy!

An intriguing mid-'70s rock album from Mexico, Love from the group Peck, Smyth & Off with songs from singer/keyboardist Serge Peck and guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Smyth. Sung entirely in English, this album, though cut in 1976 and featuring many of the stylistic conventions of the era, shows some late '60s/early '70s psych influences and also has a very clear progressive rock influence.
