Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1972, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.

The second work released in 1972 "Milano Calibro 9". Sound track. It is a construction thing of a huge baroque. It is exactly perfection of the confusion beauty. It keeps severe and the extremely unbalanced world of luxury. Tone quality is also good for an Italian rock. I feel the influence of THE MOODY BLUES and KING CRIMSON. 

The guitar sounds a bit like Led Zeppelin or like on the first Rush's album. There are some strings arrangements which give a symphonic touch to this prog hard rock album. It sounds a bit like the Italian prog band RDM, but it is more instrumental. there are excellent fast drums, very good piano, loud and complex bass and some good flute parts; the only "bad" thing is that the atmosphere is not very warm for a hard rock band: sometimes it is very scary, given the numerous psychedelic bits. There are not very much vocals.
