E TUTTO COMINCIO COSI '76

Like Locanda Della Fate, Sensitiva Immagine's sole effort contains considerable passages of soul stirring beauty but also too many moments of indifference. They worked best when delivering a romanticism that German and British prog bands can't touch, and failed to impress when they got overly verbose and raucous.

The best of Sensitiva Immagine is represented by the memorable melodies of "Overture", "La Favola Di Narcisio", and the title track, which will have you humming its main theme all day, while "Harlem" and "Storia Di" seem unfocused and never really deliver on their promise. The obvious centrepiece "Al Confini del Mondo" is nice but not more. The bonus tracks are a mixed bag as well, the best being "Quel Che Resta" and, of course, the live reprise of "E Tutto".

While not quite a classic, this is still a worthwhile addition to your Italian collection, at least if you are someone with even the slightest amount of unimagined sensitivity.
