From the same vibrant cinematic landscape of '70s studio supergroups as
Goblin
,
The Pawnshop
,
The Feedback
, and
The Braen's Machine
comes the
Magnetic System
, the Italian incognito dream-team composed of Milano prog keyboardist
Vince Tempera
, Cinevox sibling
Franco Bixio
, and video nasty maestro
Fabio Frizzi
(whose career it launched). Bridging giallo jazz-bass-driven prog and the arrival of home studios and synthesizers, the film music of the Magnetic System marked a sea change in Italian genre film music, promoting melodic electronics to the forefront of Italian pop culture and preempting the first murmurs of Italo disco and synthpop. Masterminded in the mid-'70s at the apex of Italian film music's most exciting transitional period, the Magnetic System was created to encapsulate the combined efforts of three of the country's most prolific and adventurous soundtrack composers and retarget their lauded behind-the-scenes personas toward the Italian commercial instrumental pop market. In the early 1970s, with a climate that nurtured instrumental rock such as the work of
Franco Battiato
,
Sensations' Fix
, and
Le Orme
, the soundtrack specialist label Cinevox (founded by
Cesare Andrea Bixio
) identified opportunities within their roster, finally finding chart success with the rebranded writing team known as Goblin. By 1977 the union of Franco Bixio, Fabio Frizzi, and Vincenzo Tempera as the Magnetic System would join a list of retitled outfits like The Pawnshop (featuring
Alessandro Alessandroni
,
Giuliano Sorgini
, and
Giulia De Mutiis
), The Braen's Machine (featuring Alessandroni and
Rino De Filippi
), and
The Group
(a drum-heavy version of
Morricone
's
Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza
), all of which took brief hiatuses from their soundtrack and library music day jobs to throw overqualified prog pop on the commercial craps table. The unfortunate low demand for these ambitious unchartered excursions resulted in small runs, which (with time as a healer) would cause future record collectors to salivate -- the one and only 7" single by the Magnetic System being no exception to this phenomenon. Also experimenting under further alter egos such as the day-glo
Fruit Of The Gum
and the Spaghetti Western-cum-disco
Benjamin Franklyn Band
, the group's third moniker, the Magnetic System, specifically showcased the trio's more aggressive, brooding, and heavier sound in comparison to its sister groups. This compilation gathers a wider selection of the trio's compositions that fall within the stylistic parameters of the Magnetic System's creative blueprint; culling drum-heavy synthesized psychedelic soundtracks with sympathetic leanings to the white funk/cosmic disco murmurings of the era. Limited edition of 1000.
