A dramatic Italian rock band readily bearing comparison to an unholy collision of <a href="spotify:artist:45O9BwPMyywM755SYUK0sP">Uriah Heep</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:02frazNrWgZCxUEf4UTfHt">Van der Graaf Generator</a>, Alphataurus emerged from the city of Milan during 1971 and released their self-titled debut album the following year, on their own Magma label. Highly prized by European prog aficionados, Alphataurus is as remarkable for its sleeve -- an antiwar-themed triple gatefold -- as for its contents, a dramatic soundscape comprised of just five songs but a multitude of moods and textures. Work on a second Alphataurus album commenced later in the year, but the sessions were doomed to failure. Nothing more than a set of instrumental demos was completed before the band broke up; the tapes subsequently (1993) appeared as Dietro l'Uragano, but are of interest to completists only. The band resumed activity in 2010. ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
