'71 GERMAN-ITALIAN Psych Prog Rock Blues
NEW LP
REISSUE
Audiophile 180gr. black vinyl!!
Label: AMS
The
group was formed by four German musicians living in northern Italy,
near Varese (three of them had grown up there, Thurn-Mithoff arrived in
1968), along with two italians, keyboardist Nicola Pankoff (originating
from Arona) and bassist Mauro Rattaggi. The initial name was The Joice,
but it was changed by mistake by their record company to Yoice, and it
was with this name that their first single was released by the small
Produzioni Ventotto label, distributed by Messaggerie Musicali.
In
1972, when Rattaggi quit and rhythm guitarist Schoene switched to bass,
the group changed its name to Analogy, and had the chance to play some
very important concerts like Caracalla Pop Festival in Rome (first
concert with the new name) or the Be-In in Naples, though they remained
totally unknown outside Italy, apart from Switzerland. Their only album,
very rare and interesting, shows some rock-blues influences, with the
nice voice of singer Jutta Nienhaus in strong evidence, and had a
distinctive cover with the group members all naked.
In 1973
keyboardist Nicola Pankoff left the group, though he kept playing and
also dedicating to painting, he was replaced by flutist Rocco Abate. The
group split around 1974, after more than 250 concerts in Italy and
around 60 in Switzerland. Source:
