3 stars OSANNA - From the first few moments of this gem you know you are in for a real treat. "Palepoli" is often cited by many prog fans as the pinnacle OSANNA album to own, but "L'Uomo" is also wonderfully delicious and in many ways may be my first choice. "L'Uomo" is a complete album, full of great operatic backing vocal parts, wicked flute, loads of acoustic & electric guitar, great lead vocals, complex drumming and delicate song writing. Not unlike many of the 70's Italian bands, atmospheres are symphonic with some very memorable musical moments with "L'Uomo" being perhaps more aggressive sounding (Ie. not as pastoral as PFM). I actually find this album very "trippy" at times helped by the fuzz guitar (HENDRIX - like at times) and searing flute playing. A superb Italian release and an often overlooked gem.
