Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1971, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.
Heel mooi concept album.

Yet another gem from the classic Italian 70"s prog scene and represents a highly expressive rock album with excellent and focused vocals and harmony. I GIGANTI essentially play a highly melodic / symphonic prog with some nicely accentuated breakouts. Although the vocals and lyrics are the centered focus on this album, we are still treated to loads of symphonic keyboard work with loads of piano and even some mellotron. Guitar work is also worth making note of and is a nice combination of acoustic and electric work. Songs are highly expressive The concept of this album is centered around the mob (mafia) and is told from the perspective of a prisoner in a series of interviews. At times "Terra In Bocca" actually transforms into a musical dream sequence and delivers some simply gorgeous melodies. A favourite Italprog recording for every prog music lover.

This is a unique and highly charged piece of melo prog that should please fans of LATTE E MIELE immensely.
