REALE ACCADEMIA DI MUSICA

Reale Accademia di Musica first album is one of the best in the early italian prog. The five band musicians were very talented and the album was produced by Maurizio Vandelli, former of Equipe 84, a famous beat band in Italy. It's a very pleasant mixture of melodic songs and progressive ideas, with a good balance between organ driven themes and guitar solos. There's an interesting atmosphere on every track, dramatic sometimes, like "Padre", or more rocking, in example "Vertigine", while the opener "Favola" is a pretty acoustic and romantic song. I think this band don't received the right welcome for this excellent effort, imo a must for any Italian Prog fan.
