CELESTE [AKA: PRINCIPE DI UN GIORNO]

I have become an Italian prog enthusiast over the past 2 yrs. Before I purchased any cds from this genre I read about the "big 3" in Italy- PFM, Banco and of course Le Orme. I quickly looked into these bands and so much loved what I found that I had to dealve deeper into this early 70s scene. This is when I kept reading about a bad called Celeste and the pastoral beauty present on this album. It was the 1st I ever purchased and boy am I glad i did. I am now familiar with all the big Italian bands and have to put Principe di un Giorno right near the top of the heap just below Locanda delle Fate's masterpiece ( the best of them all). My girlfriend who can't handle prog much even finds this music essential. The only quiet prog that can compare would be Alusa Fallax's album.
