(ITALIA, 1973)
Museo Rosenbach was formed in the early '70s in Italy. The group's debut, "Zarathustra", was released to critical acclaim in 1973. Unfortunately, the group broke up the following year. The group re-formed in the 1990s and released the album "Exit" in 1999. This is probably the most impressive Italian progressive rock album ever, with an astonishing blend of hard and symphonic progressive rock, it is at the same time the most comprehensive guide on 40 minutes on Nietzsche's filosophy, specially on "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", his last masterwork. Lyrics resume Nietzsche's whole filosophy with powerful words and musical pictorical resourses that made more powerful his filosophical though. A perfect example of this is the final piece, "Dell' Eterno Ritorno", which concludes with an inverse triple rumble on the drums, before the epic symphonic tutti at the end. Released on vinyl in 1973, it's still a perfect example of Italian powerful idiosincrathic musical creativity. The album was reissued in the 80's by King Record in Japan, whose later on realesead a replica vinyl issue. In 2009 Sony Music pressed a new numbered vinyl reissue, first Italian since 1973. Today there are very few surviving vinyl albums on private collections. Best preserved original 1973 albums are avaliable in the US, and in Mexico City there is one that has never been played, almost brand new, probably one of the fewest in that condition.
