URGENTISSIMO

80's began and you can hear it in the music! 70's prog's dead and this is only the beginning. Banco, as most of the other great prog bands (ELP, Yes, Genesis, PFM, Gentle Giant, King Crimson and so on) didn't escape to the new wave and, perhaps, this renewal is the reason why the band is still active today. The album is not bad, if you listen to it as to a pop-rock album, but it's far away from the progressive! In fact with some of the songs of this album (i.e. "Paolo Pa") the band gathered the first pop hit in Italy! Two tracks can be saved from the bunch: "C'è qualcosa" and "Felice". Only for die-hard fans (like me!).
