The debut album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of bells, drums, percussion, vibraphone, bass, guitars, organ, electric piano, harpsichord, synths and vocals.
This band has just released their second album, which I have purchased and will review next week. I thought I had reviewed their debut album, this one, a decade ago as it is a semi-classic in the RPI scene. I was wrong and it must have slipped under my radar although I purchased it thirteen years ago.
...Dusting it off for this review...
The album is clocking in at thirty-seven minutes and it really throws a punch.
The music is classic RPI with a mix of pastoral symphonic prog in the Genesis vein and some really harder and more eclectic stuff in the vein of Van Der Graaf Generator and King Crimson. There is also a lot of Yes influences here.
The music is very hard and harsh at times with some almost unhinged guitar solos. The vocals are good though and ditto for the guitars and the guitar solos.
This is a typical early 1970s RPI album and indeed.... a semi-classic in the scene.
It is also a good album indeed. Check it out.
