1998 - LA STORIA DI SABAZIO

TRIADE's "La Storia di Sabazio" is often an overlooked gem from the golden age of Italian progressive rock bands. TRIADE were a highly talented 3 piece ensemble who some have tried to compare to ELP's style (Although some similarities may exist, I do not subscribe really to this opinion). This album contains some solid instrument usage ranging from cello to grand piano and without a question the heavy use of analog keyboards. Originally released in 1973 on the now highly collectible Derby record label, Si Wan have done a wonderful transfer onto CD. In my opinion TRIADE carries the musical influences of Italian greats RDM and PFM in many ways , especially the music featured on side two. If you love piano and analog keyboard driven Italian prog then "La Storia di Sabazio" is for you. Speaker separation is quite good and the reproduction from CD is superb..
