Another Italian prog work (also hard to find) dated 1971 based on great guitar and keyboard effects. It has an obvious classical tone based on the search for melody and a noteworthy lyrical experimentation.
40 minutes of prog experimentation divided into 6 songs (concept album): "La Paura", "Un Re Senza Reame", "Un Uomo", "Scacco Al Re Lot", "Il Vento, La Luna E Pulcini Blu" and "Waiting". The first time I listened to it, I immediately noticed a brilliant drum, a heavy guitar, and above all, great rhythm changes that at times seem reminiscent of the Canterbury scene (especially the experimental EGG).
The lyrics are influenced by a medieval spirit and a sumptuous Hammond organ has a certain familiarity with Eloy. Great album, it's a shame that this is also a unique work by the band.
"Uno" is another fine example of Italian progressive and "Il Vento, La Luna E Pulcini Blu" is its signature song. A precious piece for demanding ears!
