3 stars This was GRUPPO 2001's lone album, released in 1972. Very folky and mellow with lots of acoustic guitar and reserved vocals. Not really my style of music but it is at times quite enjoyable.

"Maggio" does sound different from the other tracks. It's all over the place as the tempo shifts often. Very proggy. Flute, guitar, keyboards and drums dominate. There are vocals when it settles. "Una Bambina...Una Donna" opens with acoustic guitar, bass and flute as reserved vocals join in. This is a beautiful tune. "Era Bello Insieme A Te" features keyboards and fragile vocals before it kicks in after 2 minutes to a fuller sound. On "Presaggio" we get vocal melodies before he eventually starts to sing. He does sound like Cat Stevens here.

"Volo D'an Gelo" opens with acoustic guitar and piano as vocals come in. It picks up quickly as drums join in. Contrasts continue. "Padre Vintenzo" builds until the vocals arrive then it settles again. It kicks back in after 2 minutes. "Denise" opens with organ before reserved vocals and acoustic guitar take over quickly. Powerful organ late to end it. "L'alba Di Domani" is mostly reserved vocals and acoustic guitar. "Sa Danza" opens with spoken words. Vocals, drums and organ before 2 minutes. Electric guitar a minute later. That's a nice change. "Messagio" is a short drums and keyboard piece.

Fans of Folk and RPI will i'm sure love this album. For me 3 stars is the right rating.
