about

There is not much to add about a record that has been commented with unchanged enthusiasm all over the years.
The 1975 debut of the band Maxophone is undoubtedly one of the best records of Italian seventies prog.
An excellent production, above the standards of the time, fresh musicians, virtuous and without uncertainties, never banal songwriting, and complex but at the same time captivating arrangements have left their mark on the times.
A truly unmissable record.

Non c'è molto da aggiungere riguardo a un disco sul quale è già stato detto tutto negli anni.
L'esordio datato 1975 dei milanesi Maxophone è incontestabilmente uno dei migliori lavori del prog italiano degli anni settanta.
Una produzione eccellente, al di sopra degli standard dell'epoca, musicisti freschi, virtuosi e privi di incertezze, un songwriting mai banale ed arrangiamenti complessi ma al contempo accattivanti hanno lasciato il segno nei tempi.
Un lavoro davvero imperdibile.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Insolubilia
by Ske

supported by 14 fans who also own “Maxophone”

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
