Dedalus

Dedalus Is The Name Of More Than One Artist 1 70's Jazz-Rock Quartet
2 German Electronic Artist DEDALUS - Not To Be Confused With Another Italian 'DEDALUS' Who Mix Folk With Jazz - Were A Most Enterprising 70's Jazz-Rock Quartet From Turin Who Still Keep A High Public Profile Among Collectors. Evoking SOFT MACHINE But With An Emphasis On Keyboards They Use The Violin Synthesizer Guitar Sax Cello Bass And Drums Their Style Is More Experimental And Spacer Than Other Italian Jazz-Rock Bands KALEIDON DUELLO MADRE PERIGEO . After A First Album In 1973 They Lost Their Bassist And Went On As A Trio For A Second Album They Then Lost Their Drummer And Split Up. In 1990 They Reappeared For A Third Album That Featured The Original Line-Up Minus The Drummer. After Many Personnel Changes The Keyboard Player Reformed The Band Under The Name The BONANSONE DEDALUS GROUP Who Released A Fourth Album In 2004. The Eponymous First LP Was Their Most SOFT MACHINE-Like Album Featuring Some Particularly Spacey Experimentation. "Materiale Per Tre Esecutori E Nastro Magnetico" 1974 Contains Some Highly Complex Music In A Contemporary Classical Vein A La John Cage Or Edgar Varese It Is Also Marked By A Stronger Use Of Electronics No Doubt Due To The Loss Of Their Drummer . The Privately Released "Pia Visione" 1997 Tried To Revive The Original Spirit Of The Band But With A Very Minimalist Approach. As For "Nomos Apache Alpha" 2004 It Has A Strong Classical Chamber Music Feel As It Is Mainly Cello And Flute Based. Fans Of SOFT MACHINE And ARTI E MESTIERI Should Find The First And Particularly The Second Album Quite Enjoyable.
