Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1972, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.

Parallel to NEW TROLLS and OSANNA, this band made a psychedelic and heavy classical rock on their debut. Typically seventies group remarkable by the predominance of keyboards, singing (often in choir), beautiful and polished melodies. Evokes CITTA FRONTALE, LE ORME with some percussive rhythms, vibrating guitar soli and vocals close to VANILLA FUDGE.

"Mr. E Jones" was another superb 70"s Italian Prog release. The lighter sections of the album kind of reminds me of early CAMEL at times actually. A wonderful recording which Italprog heads will love. 

"Mr. E Jones" was NUOVA IDEA"s 2nd release and in my opinion is another superb 70"s Italian Prog release. With major mood and atmosphere swings, NUOVA IDEA take us from hard edged acid-like keyboard driven progressive jams to soft caressing mellotron led tranquil moments. Vocals are excellent and well suited to the music. In many ways "Mr. E. Jones" is my favorite of Nuova IDEA"s first 3 exceptional releases. "Mr. E. Jones" carries a real heavy 70"s feel with loads of dark keyboards and expressive vocals and guitars. The lighter sections of the album kind of reminds me of early CAMEL at times actually. A wonderful recording which Italprog heads will love.
