 The prisoner and Grail are two pieces of truly excellent evocative intensity, the two mellotrons sketch a floral landscape of refined and majestic romanticism.

 Boats is a simple and very delicate acoustic ballad that reminds us of past moments now transformed into 'boats that, while sitting, I see drifting away toward an unreachable horizon.'

The debut album 'Spring' impresses with original mellotron-driven sounds and a relaxed vocal style, highlighted by tracks like 'The Prisoner' and 'Grail.' While the first half is notably strong and evocative, the later songs lose impact, feeling like fillers. Overall, it merits a solid four-star rating for its creativity and refinement. Explore Spring's evocative debut album and immerse yourself in its mellotron-rich progressive rock sound.

 The technical skill of the seven musicians is sufficiently appreciable and allows the group to boldly engage in musical pieces where the superimposition of themes and melodies is the main characteristic.

 An album released too late and therefore labeled by most as a B-grade work... what a pity! Personally, I find it very well-crafted and imaginative; it is worth purchasing...

Despite being released too late to gain widespread recognition, the album shines through its intricate instrumentation and timeless freshness, especially in tracks like the instrumental opener and the title song. The use of keyboards, flute, and guitar reminiscent of Steve Hackett adds a unique texture, making the album a hidden gem worthy of appreciation. Explore and listen to Locanda delle Fate's imaginative progressive rock masterpiece today!

 Roger Chapman, a 'goat-like' vibrato equipped with an impetuous vocal charge and a thorny boldness.

The reviewer highlights 'Processions' as a standout track that alone justifies the album's value. Listen to Family's 'Family Entertainment' for a timeless blend of art rock and emotional storytelling!
