MIA if only for the epic title track. I quite like a few others here too... Out of Focus, Metamorfosi, Captain Beyond, Mutantes... all pretty great like 7 out of ten great (same goes for the MIA-album really).

Metamorfosi - Inferno. The trouble with this world is fitted sheets and folded lollipops.

Captain Beyond, mainly because all of the other albums are beyond me at the moment, but I'm sure I'd like them all. Thumbs Up

I think, there's a good chance for at least most of them. Smile

It seems to me, there're some Krautrock influences in the Italian Procession's Frontiera from 1972. Anyway, it's a concept album about immigration and found as "fantastic work among Europe's best" by the author of the splendid Scented Gardens Of The Mind: A guide to the golden era of progressive rock (1968 -1980) in more than 20 European Countries (2000). The opening track of the second half of it is:

Captain Beyond was a supergroup that actually lived up to the promise, at least for their first album. Too bad that things imploded soon after. Their second album is quite good too, but it is more mainstream.

Some of the Basque Lisker's sole album is rather heavy sounding but also with quite a lot of acoustic guitar, flute and some vocals,
like in this track:

Nice choices! I voted Os Mutantes, Metamorfosi, Orange Peel and Procession.

Again I know very little from this one, but I love Inferno by Metamorfosi. From Focus I would have chosen Hamburger Concerto.
