UOMO DI PEZZA

Le Orme is one of the finest and most influencial italian prog band in last 40 years.With their third album from 1972 named Uomo di pezza, the band manage to take the listners by storm, with this album they become world wide known and a respected band across the years. Combining symphonic elements with blistering keyboards - to me the most intresting and solid parts of the album together with the beautiful , warm voice of Aldo tagliapetra. Also the overall atmosphere has a romantic feel, typical for italian bands. Some killer instrumental passages here like on opening track or on La porrta chiusa, ElP meets Genesis with a italian romantic atmosphere. Definetly to me a very solid album together with their next one who is even little better. 4 stars easy, one of the most intresting italian prog rock albums from early '70 and a very nice art work.
