August 25, 2018 - Sandro Brugnolini - Amofen (1970)

Amofen, a psychedelic instrumental by Italian composer Sandro Brugnolini, was introduced to me earlier this year by my friend of good taste, Steve M.

The music begins with a snaking electric guitar, tentatively searching for a place to call home. It finds a path at 0:30, then suddenly repeats itself, shedding its harmless visage for sharper fangs. Bass and drums get together soon after, and the guitar goes off in search of its identity.  After 3:00, an organ arrives in the guise of a sage, and joins the guitar on its journey into the future.
