A single review tackles Janus’s Al Maestrale: a lo‑fi, flute‑laced slab of progressive/hard rock with Nordic atmospheres. Highlights include the title track, Trotto and especially Il Fuoco E La Spada. Some cuts feel dated or slight, but the album’s rarity and gutsy ideas shine. Final verdict: a forgotten Italian gem with rough edges.
