Jacula - two rare Italian prog/rock albums (1969, 1972) (mp3) (with cover scans)

#  "In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum" (1969) (definitive form, pub. 2001) (mp3, 96kbps)
#  "Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus" (1972) (mp3, 192kbps)

Two very rare Italian prog/rock albums.

There is some doubt whether the first album was indeed recorded or released in 1969 (as this 2001 reissue states), because no original copies have been found.  If it was, it was certainly most unusual for its time - howling wind, eerie organ, pounding fuzz guitar, heavy controlled drumming, Latin chanted incantation, and female humming.

This CD reissue of the second album includes a bonus track 'Absolution' which was not on the original LP.

Both albums are YouTube rips, and uploaded here at the same bitrate as they were  on YouTube.  Not ideal, but perfectly listenable, and they're not otherwise availble here.
