1970 HARDROCK/BLUES/PROG BLENDS
T H E T R I P
\ Italy - RCA - NL 74111
Hard to find exact 2ndpress on the parent RCA label - same as the first issue from 1970. The TRIP was a very adventurous progressive group who made 4 interesting albums in the early '70s - each one of them is different. Here, the first TRIP with a hard guitar & keyboard edge.
Maiocchi & The Trip” was originally a psychedelic rock band formed in London, UK in 1966 by Riki Maiocchi (voice), pre-DEEP PURPLE's Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), William Gray (voice and guitar), Arvid Andersen (voice and bass) and Ian Broad (drums).
With this formation the band produced no records.
Soon after (1967) the two founders, Maiocchi and Blackmore, and the drummer Broad left the band. They reformed the same year (1967) as “The Trip” with two members, Joe Vescovi (keyboard) and Pino Sinnone (drums), and began to move to more progressive sounds.
The overtly progressive edged, the first TRIP is rather a hard rock-blues/psychedelic mix with five long pieces led by guitar and organ. Totally early Pink Floyd oriented, this album is sung in English (when vocals apply).
The opening number, Prologo, is a good introduction to the band's sound, which is an instrumental, is a highlight of this album and demonic psychedelia styles from the good old days. With "Incubi", the band gets ikicks it into a more "Piper" oriented. The organ/guitar passages are quite well performed.
"Visioni dell'Aldilà" is a weird track in its early stages, there is no structure in this song. Themes are changing all the time: so be prepared for quite an experience! What a ride!
"Rifflessioni" is a real mix of styles, a melting pot of several influences (mainly popsike, boogie-rock, AND decadent music).
The closing number, "Una Pietra Colorata," is a toytown popsike song in the Swinging London vein...
