Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1972, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.
What"s in a name and also cover... maar toch toetsen gedreven soms poppy pasta prog.


With a name like Hunka Munka, a 1972 release date, and a toilet bowl on the cover, you"d probably expect some drugged out psych-beat stuff here. But it"s actually a very nicely done combination of over-the-top melodic and operatic art songs with rock and pop. Sort of like orchestral proto-prog. The thing that probably bugs some people is the sappy and orchestral melodicism, and the crooning vocals, but that"s really part of the whole Italian pop tradition. There"s not a lot of complexity here, but it"s a really nice album overall, with some truly outstanding melodies.
