Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Very good Prog.......2003-07-27

QUITE A GOOD RECORD FROM ITALIAN MASTERS. Non commercial and quite original. I consider their quality on the top ten italian prog groups. Very recommended. If you like Banco, Premiata, le orme, buy it.

3 out of 5 stars The value of their canterburian work should be superior..but.......2002-11-10

Well this band after a few listenings seems to be inferior than the whole 70's italian prog production of BMS,some material from PFM,some by Le Orme, the first album by Locanda delle Fate,some lp's from Area, Arti e Mestieri, and I could keep going on, in order to mention instead the other recent 90's italian gems, like Aufklaurung "Io e la tempesta","The myth of Crisavides" by Ezra Winston,Quasar Lux Symphoniae(the first),Trono dei Ricordi,Deus ex Machina "De Repubblica", the last album by H20 and generally the rest of the italian excellent prog stuff of the 90's (actually not always at the top from the point of view of the production), of which a few only are mentioned here at Amazon. The bands above, usually aren't familiar with the experimental Canterburian stuff (see Henry Cow, Hatfield&the north and in some moments the best works by F.Zappa,Isildurs Bane)because they concentrate usually their efforts on the romantic prog stuff and on the intriguing utilisation of the harmony as well (apart from some excellent jazz classic prog stuff by Area from Milan and Sacka from Turin). P.d.P. are instead quite familiar with the light canterburian stuff...well the production isn't always satisfying but the ideas were quite fresh in 1977 (the technology wasn't enough in order to guarantee the purity and completeness of the sound).So I should give rather 3 stars and an half and perhaps something more if..well it's such a pity that it has not been recorded once again, by utilising the modern technology, anyway this work is well worth checking out (there are a few and unknown canterburian gems in the italian prog scene, so it's better to check this disc)

2 out of 5 stars Bloody awful........2000-12-30

If you want to hear brilliant Italian progressive rock turn to PFM, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Le Orme, Locande Del Fatte, or Museo Rosenbach. This band is not in the same class. It is hard to believe that this recording was made in the late seventies. It sounds more like the late sixties. Production and compositions are dated and wooden. Vocals are weak and sometimes bring to mind an Italian cousin of Spike Jones (no not the director) on acid. Not amusing, not particularly interesting either. Musicianship is relatively competent but uninspired. Give this one a pass...Simon
