Before beginning to write my review on the second albun of the Italian band entitled GOBLIN "Roller" -
1976, I should say that besides this I just know another albun " Fantastic "I'l Viaggio del Bagarozzo
Mark" - 1978. For this reason I can only make comparisons between both. Leaving of this, I consider
this albun a little less symphonic than the subsequent, where I still got to notice some influences of
GENESIS. In this I consider that the band follows a more sound p / the space-prog in the line of PINK-
FLOYD, ELOY. However, this presents in the second track "Snip-Snap" a jazz-rock with a strong plenty
rhythm and with an keyboard timbre very close of GENTLE GIANT.Besides, in this albun there are
some beautiful passages of acoustic guitar (somertimes 12 strings, sometimes 6 strings), as in the first
track "Aquaman", in the track "Goblin" where, in spite of the guitar solo it is done by the electric guitar
the attendance of the beginning of the music and in some intervals among the main themes s is done
by the acoustic guitar. As main melodic line "Roller" presents a sound an as much as different from the
traditional Italian prog. I consider this an obligatory item in any collection of progressive.I detach the
tracks "Goblin", "Dr, Frankstein" My rate i 4 stars!!! "
