These feature much more varied styling, and some of the band's best work. From the early period, the place to start is Felona E Sorona , and from the later period go with Storia O Leggenda . Ah, the cozy sound of keyboard, bass and drum. The many comparsions to ELP are valid, but these guys also have an identity of their own. Melodic Hammond and Moog symphonies that deserve a place among the progressive giants.
Collage is supposed to be the first of the truly progressive albums.
Uomo di Pezza and Contrappunti are supposed to be good, but the only album I've heard of the early period is the outstanding Felona e Sorona , which is one of the best Italian albums from this period. After Contrappunti , the band added a fourth member on guitar and became far more conventional. Smogmagica was recorded in Los Angeles and is supposed to be terribly commercial. Not an outstanding album by any means, but very nice. Avoid this one.
