Santoro, Angelo Noce
For You
Here's the first ever reissue of a rare private press LP from 1979, recorded by guitarist Angelo Noce Santoro, formerly of Dutch (early '70s) psych/prog legends Cosmic Dealer. The music can be described as a Latin tinged funk-psych-prog trip, featuring groovy jazz flutes, superb acoustic/electric guitars, a funky rhythm section, exotic percussion and cool Oriental and Brazilian vibes. Angelo's unique guitar playing, which incorporates surf, psychedelic, jazz and Oriental influences, has received praising from connoisseurs of obscure instrumental sounds including Jello Biafra, who got in touch with Angelo after discovering one of his solo albums in a second-hand shop in the '80s. 'For You' was Angelo's first solo effort. He was joined by ace flute player Steven Bishop, drummer Herman Muller and Lodewijk Hulsman on acoustic guitar. Most of the tracks were written by Angelo way before 1979, with some of them even dating back to the days of Cosmic Dealer. In the '80s Angelo would be part of the notable group Palmeira.
