GENERAZIONI (STORIA DI SEMPRE)

Edgar Allan Poe are yet another one album wonder from the Italian prog scene, but Generazioni is one album which did not deserve to be overlooked in the inundated market it was released into. Rather than chasing the spirit of Trespass-era Genesis as many other Italian prog bands were the band pursue a heavier, psych-tinged, guitar-led sound and a dark, sinister atmosphere (appropriately enough, given the band name). Fans of the psych- influenced end of heavy prog may find that they have more patience for this album than many of the pastoral, acoustic guitar-dominated albums that came out of the Italian scene. Four stars.
