Massimo Catalano (who died in 2013) enjoyed a brief stint of fame after joining the cast of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRenzo Arbore\u003c\/b\u003e's cult TV show\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuelli Della Notte\u003c\/i\u003e, but he risked to be remembered only for those little, funny sketches he delivered on camera. A few people are aware of Catalano's great skills as a jazz trumpet player (he played with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Armstrong\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein his career), which he first nurtured with a band called\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlippers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(also featuring\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFranco Bracardi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon piano and a very young\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucio Dalla\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon clarinet). For him, the step from jazz to library music was short and easy and he started working his friend Remigio Ducros, composer and piano player, husband of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniela Casa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand author of some rare and extremely refined library albums. The joint efforts of Catalano and Ducros produced two albums only:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIdee 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1972), featuring Casa in a track, and the beautiful\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Fatica\u003c\/i\u003e, a weird, hard-to-file item, mixing avant-garde, prog moods, electro rhythms, jazz and musique concrète. It's almost impossible to guess what Catalano and Ducros were looking for, while making this album, but despite the troubles and difficulties during its recording process, listening to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Fatica\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a breeze. It's a continuous surprise, actually, since every track features unexpected tricks and changes. And, exactly like in other Intervallo releases, the title evoke the noise of machinery, the fascination for science and technology and the beauty of factories: \"Catena Di Montaggio Rapido\" (Rapid Assembly Line), \"Sesto Capannone\" (Sixth Depot), \"Officina Meccanica\" (Mechanical Workshop), \"Terapia Della Fatica\" (Strain Therapy), \"Saturazione\" (Saturation), \"Esperimento 320\" (Experiment 320), \"Esami Di Laboratorio\" (Lab Tests), \"Dopo La Tensione\" (After The Tension).
