The Profile

No Strange are a Turin-based Italian psychedelic group formed at the end of the 1970s, led by Salvatore “Ursus” D’Urso and Alberto Ezzu. Reviews describe them as a cult cornerstone of Italian neo-psychedelia, blending kraut/cosmic influences, acid-folk, raga/oriental elements, and a strong visual-art identity (with Ursus credited for the band’s covers).

From the reviews: founded at the end of the ’70s; roots traced to early-’70s RA-GEBEL; key members cited are Salvatore “Ursus” D’Urso and Alberto Ezzu; early releases include Trasparenze e suoni (1985) and L’universo (1987); later activity includes Cristalli sognanti (2011) and multiple Area Pirata/Psych-Out releases; several reviewers mention Toast holding rights and not reissuing parts of the catalog; Japan is repeatedly mentioned as a place of strong appreciation (and a recent performance is claimed in one review).

Across these reviews, No Strange are framed as a cornerstone of Italian psychedelia, rooted in Turin and active since the mid-’80s (with earlier ’70s origins cited). Writers highlight a signature blend of kraut/cosmic psychedelia, acid-folk, raga/oriental shades, and a philosophical “vision” extending to visuals and mysticism. Key albums repeatedly named include the debut/Trasparenze e suoni and L’universo (often called a masterpiece), plus a strong later run from 2011 onward. Multiple reviews note rights/availability problems with the Toast catalog and recommend Bandcamp/YouTube routes for listening.
