4 stars Thanks to this site, I've recently discovered Italian 70's Progressive Rock, and this cd is an example of the best of it I've heard so far. It has all the complexity of Yes or Genesis at their best without sacrificing the other (as important) aspect of '70s Prog, which was contrasting flash with subtlety, a concept seemingly lost on most of the neo- prog I've heard.

These are not extended jazz-rock jams, they are songs with clear multi-part forms, featuring your favorite vintage instruments and mine. I don't speak Italian, but it's in no way a turn-off: it's not as if we pay much attention to what Jon Anderson is actually *saying*, right?

The cd is warm, clear, and well mixed. (I have the RCA with "ND 71784" on the spine.)
