PER UN AMICO

It took me a long time to discover Italian progressive rock but thanks to this web site I can now enjoy masterpieces such as Per Un Amico. It is quite simply a gorgeous album mixing romantic symphonic rock in the opening Appena un Po' with acoustic biased pieces Il Banchetto to vocal harmonies in Geranio, but never offending the listener and no weak moments that need skipping through. Fans of early Yes, in particular the Yes album should check this album out especially Geranio. There are also tones of Genesis in there but never quite straying from the quintissential Italian characteristics with its bautiful vocals. A definite 5 star effort and in my all time top ten.
