“Descriptive” completes the series of official reissues of the only two LPs released under the Corviria moniker by Edizioni Leonardi in 1977 (Psyco Analysis) and 1980 (Descriptive) respectively. Both are among the most obscure titles of Italian library music, whose composers can only be traced in the figures of Luigi Bergonzi and Vittoria Corona.
Musically, “Descriptive” marks an evolution of the electronic and dark sound of the previous “Psyco Analysis”, starting with the four-part opening mini-suite “Evil’s Suite”, a genuine trip into kraut and progressive rock territories, then continuing with the abstract and mysterious “Suspence Effect One / Two” and finally with a series of more conventional and easy-listening tracks that for the most part recall the sounds of Tangerine Dream from that period.
Just like “Psyco Analysis”, the mysterious “Descriptive” now eventually enjoys a much-needed and well-deserved reissue, the first one ever, faithful to the original, on the occasion of Record Store Day 2024!
