Thanks to a observation by our good friend Spacefreak, it appears AMS/BTF have uncovered a new rarity. I know nothing about the music, sound quality, etc..., but it certainly warrants mentioning! Here's the label scoop:
"As sometimes happens, the eponymous “Kundalinî Shakti Devî” release is a
mysterious album, hidden for decades - was recorded back in 1974! - on a
tape stored in some drawer, that has been reopened and rediscovered
only today. History repeats: the mastermind of the project, Roberto
“Paramhansa” Puddu, managed to put together an ensemble of seven
musicians with whom he recorded three long tracks, lasting an average of
over 15 minutes each, but the genre in 1974 was already struggling to
attract the interest of some music manager who could produce and
distribute the LP.
The music is inspired by the classic Italian
progressive rock, with lyrics about science fiction ("Sensitivity",
"Galactic Museum") and criticism of the consumer society ("Flash"),
while the ‘external’ influences 'external' carry the name of Van Der
Graaf Generator and some German cosmic music – just listen to the long
instrumental song sections to realize that yourself!
An exceptional discovery, to stay besides the minor – but not less important, of course! – classics of Italian prog."
