SINDACO presents : B.A.M. – 1981 – Reborn & Remastered by Original Ampex Tapes

A lost chapter of Italian progressive music from the late 1970s has emerged from the shadows of time. By chance, reels of an unfinished album were discovered in Cavarzere, a quiet farmhouse near Venice. The musicians who created them have long vanished into obscurity, leaving behind only a nearly illegible handwritten note marked with the enigmatic acronym B.A.M.
Art curator Massimo Torrigiani took the reels under his care and entrusted them to Angelo Sindaco, who meticulously digitized each track.
Was it an abandoned experiment? A secret playground for session musicians exploring the unknown? The truth remains a mistery.
With the help of Wang inc., Sindaco breathed life into the album, unveiling a treasure recorded at the delicate intersection of the late ’70s and early ’80s – where the feewheeling spirit of Italian progressive rock entwines with the bold electronic explorations of Krautrock.
Every sound has been preserved with absolute fidelity, untouched, pure and authentic.
Melodies trapped like echoes of a forgotten dream. Adding another layer to the story, a few photographs of the musicians were found—hidden inside the battered box that held the reel to reel AMPEX tapes, like silent ghosts guarding their own forgotten melodies.
But no names. Nothing. Just snapshots of a world suspended in time, as if the very air of the studio had been trapped within the images.
This is more than an album—it is a portal. A fragment of time, resurrected from the shadows, speaking across decades. In its echoes, you can hear the heartbeat of a forgotten era, the daring of free musicians who crossed the boundaries with no fear.
Now, finally, their voices rise again, reminding us that magic, once created, never truly fades.
Hold it, listen, and let yourself be transported. History has returned, and it sounds impossibly alive.
