IL VOLO

Sort of an Italian progressive supergroup,IL VOLO were formed by members of various important Italian bands like Formula Tre,Camaleonti,Duello Madre and Ribelli.They were an exclusively studio outfit,who recorded their eponymous first album in 1974.''Il volo'' is a deeply emotional work with a song-based style,based heavily on romantic vocals and sensitive soundscapes.If possible,imagine of a less-folky and lighter version of PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI.Quite easy-listening,the short-length compositions of the album are characterized by the light melodic electric guitars,the careful use of keyboards and the atmospheric and emotional vocal arrangements,resulting a ''light'' symphonic rock album with ''heavy'' doses of intense atmosphere.I trully loved this release and would recommended it easily to all fans of soft symphonic progressive rock.
