Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing as the darkest and arguably most intricate work in their classic 1970s run, Le Orme's 'Contrappunti' is a masterclass in Italian symphonic rock. Dominated by Tony Pagliuca's intense keyboard counterpoints and Aldo Tagliapietra's melancholic vocals, the album explores themes of fatalism and the bleakness of modern society.
