I Califfi - Fiore di Metallo

I CALIFFI performs a Progresssive rock sung in Italian and situated in the same category as the early Seventies bands, due to its use of wild and jerky rhythms on which blend excellent analog keyboard shapes & sounds with excellent vocals and scrumptious guitar work. Their music can be defined as close to that of GARYBALDI or FLEA but with nicer lyrical themes in the style of PFM. 

"Fiore di Metallo" is a good prog album, based on organ and moog sounds, even if the lyrics are a bit naive and too close to the typical Italian beat themes. Some interesting keyboard passages, as in the instrumental "Varius" or the opening track "Nel mio passato", make this album worth listening. 

Studio Album, released in 1973
