Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1972, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.

Deze toch redelijk heavy formatie vormt grotendeels de basis voor het latere meer poppy Matia Bazar.

Toch nog wat RPI gevonden dus bij deze.... en voor Remy, ik voel met 'm mee.


J.E.T. (not to be confused with JET, an Australian garage-rock band) is an Italian foursome who released a couple of albums in the early 70's of which the second is of particular interest to progsters. Their style is reminiscent of MUSEO ROSENBACH and IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO but more aggressive. After the release of their second album, some members joined ex-MUSEO ROSENBACK's Giancarlo Golzi and switched the name to The MATIA BAZAR, a more commercial rock outfit that is still alive today. 

One of my real Italian favourites, which are often not mentioned when people speak of Italian classics. Maybe, this is heavier than many of the Italian albums of the 70's, with a closely hardrockish flavour. But the music is complex, and especially drummer & keyboardist leaves some really nice hooks. If you are up to heavy italian progg, this is for you ! A masterpiece.
