Description/Reviews: 

Great debut from this new Italian quintet. Pure retro prog that channels the spirit of early 70s British prog. The band's sound is dominated by organ and heavily spiced up with guitar and flute leads. Hugh Banton or Tony Banks' roadie must have helped set up Paolo Tognazzi's organ because it seems like ist ripped right out of 1971. Vocals are in English and while Andrea Calzoni's accent creeps in now and then he aquits himself quite well - he's got a bit of an Ian Anderson thing going on. Nice long instrumental breaks with keys playing off the flute and guitar. Definitely a VDGG - Osanna - PFM - Orme vibe, but keep in mind the early versions of these bands. 1971 vs 1975. This is the good stuff. The REALLY good stuff. (justforkicks)
