1967/ 1976
4 stars "L'Uomo" is an excellent album if you think to the level of 1971 music in Italy. However it sounds bad, because it mixed badly, without a bit of echo, with a flat style, where everything looks old. This is a problem of any period of record production in Italy. But here is exaggerated. Although this style is recognizable: Neapolitan Folk, Hard Rock, Beat, Rock Jam and Jimi Hendrix, all mixed with the guitar in the forefront and arrangements between Jethro Tull and Canterbury! The vocals are powerful and Garage Rock, just enough to highlight the power of music, power suppressed by mixing. There is an alternation between Italian language and English language, heard today, makes you smile. But in those years was truly innovative.

Very inspired album, then, "L'uomo", a preview of what would later become the RPI, a mix of desire to be personal and adaptation of the British Prog sung in Italian language. But here again with a certain amount of personality.

1967/ 1976 | 4/5 |
