Nuova Idea - Clowns

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. 

Studio Album, released in 1973
