Underground Set - The Underground Set CD

“The Underground Set is a cult Italian psychedelic and early progressive instrumental album originally released in 1970 and produced by Gianfranco Reverberi. Performed by members of Nuova Idea under a pseudonym, the record blends Hammond driven psych rock with film score influences, fuzz guitar and distinctive rhythmic motifs.
Long sought after by collectors of Italian rock and European soundtrack adjacent recordings, the album stands as one of the strongest examples of the era's "psychploitation'' sound.
This re-issue edition preserves the original material while presenting it to a new audience discovering early Italian progressive music.”
“Fun collection of instrumental funk/psych tracks with plenty of organ and guitar. These songs were recorded by the group Nuova Idea, and for contractual reasons changed their name for this album. These songs were apparently used as film/TV themes (a genre known as library music), and this same group of musicians released an album under the name The Psycheground Group, which is pretty similar.
Unlike the rare album by the Psychedelic Group, this album was released in the UK and Germany as well as their native Italy.”-rym
