Limited edition of 500.\nThe Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented,\noutfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians\nwith a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the\nsecond half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of \"invisible\"\nsoundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve. Led by pianist\nand composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea Surdi (drums), Luigi Cappellotto (bass),\nand Ernesto Verardi (guitar), the quartet embodies the more jazz-funk, cinematic, and\nirresistibly groovy side of the 1970s Milan scene. They established themselves as a compelling\nalternative to the already established groups operating primarily out of Rome, such as I Marc 4\nor I Gres. Juggling late-night club jam sessions, tours supporting Italian pop giants like Ornella\nVanoni, and creating rhythmically intense library records, the Modern Sound Quartet forged a\nunique sonic aesthetic: sophisticated, electric, and profoundly metropolitanThis boxset\ncelebrates their funkiest side-an irresistible combination of incandescent drum breaks, tight\ngrooves, and high-intensity fusion passages-bringing together some of the most sought-after\ntracks from legendary LPs like Erbe Selvatiche (1977), Floreama (1977), Horoscope (1978),\nand I Tarocchi (1980). The selection also delves further back to the roots of their\nsound,including two powerhouse tracks from Pop-Paraphrenia (1973), a project where Oscar\nRocchi-backed by a young, lethal Tullio De Piscopo on drums-sowed many seeds that\nwould fully blossom in the subsequent Modern Sound Quartet output. Created with\nDJs,beatmakers, and collectors of Italian library music in mind, this boxset deliberately features\ntracks that were never previously released on 7 inch-an ideal format for maximizing the\nrhythmic punch of the quartet's sound. Available in a limited worldwide edition (500 copies),\nenriched by iconic 70s-style artwork conceived and designed by Eric Adrian Lee.\n\nRecord One:\nA1 - Imprevedible\nB1 - Confabulante\nB2 - Melissa\nRecord Two:\nA1 - Mais\nB1 - Aglio \nRecord Three:\nA1 - Genziana\nB1 - Bucaneve\nRecord Four:\nA1 - Papaveri\nB1 - Campanule\nRecord Five:\nA1 - Taurus\nB1 - Il Diavolo","brand":"Modern Sound Quartet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63801370673529,"sku":"637902063514","price":20.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/italian-library-breaks-5x7-edition-of-500","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
