Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from Naples, this quintet brought a uniquely heavy and theatrical edge to the burgeoning Rock Progressivo Italiano movement. Their debut features scorching electric guitar leads and frantic flute interplay highly reminiscent of early Jethro Tull, intertwined with rich Mediterranean acoustic passages. The band's aggressive, psychedelic intensity firmly separated them from the more strictly classical leanings of their Northern Italian contemporaries.
