ReR Vinyl present a reissue of Picchio dal Pozzo's Abbiamo Tutti I Suoi Problemi, originally released in 1980. One of the most original, impressive and highly respected of all the experimental groups to have come out of Italy in the 1970s, Picchio dal Pozzo were also one of the early invitees to the canonical Recommended Sampler, and would have been in RIO, had RIO lasted another year -- and had the group not folded up and disappeared before anyone had realized it was there. In the last decade the record was reissued briefly in Japan, then It disappeared again. Here is is, remastered and back into the public domain where it belongs. Copying no one, though, there is some Zappa influence, Picchio had a unique and highly developed style of composition that was not only out of step with its own time but which sounds contemporary still. Highly composed and devoid of jazz phrasing and riffs with solos, this record achieves maximum musical effect with minimum instrumental means through close attention to timbre, dynamics, and expressed tempi and a kind of deep complexity that sounds simple but changes with each listening. A lot of ideas subtly developed -- rather than experimented with; a one-off classic. 180 gram vinyl.
