The Profile

Italian progressive-rock group formed in 1969 (originally named Plep). Released In The Beginning (1971), Mr. E. Jones (1972) and Clowns (1973); critics on DeBaser regard Clowns as the band's artistic peak and consider the group underrated.

Core members mentioned in reviews include Marco Zoccheddu, Claudio Ghiglino, Giorgio Usai, Enrico Casagni and Paolo Siani; Ricky Belloni appears in the Clowns lineup. The band released material under alternate names (The Underground Set, The Psycheground Group) and faced contractual issues leading to releases under different names. Marco Zoccheddu left and formed Osage Tribe (as noted in the reviews).

Reviews on DeBaser describe Nuova Idea as an underrated Italian progressive-rock group active around 1969–1973. Clowns (1973) is presented as the band's artistic peak. In The Beginning (1971) is notable for its long Side A suite; later works show greater cohesion.
