Concerto grosso
The disappointment of "Tempi dispari" triggered the breakup of the De Scalzi led incarnation of New Trolls. Amazingly, De Scalzi rejoined his old friend/rival Di Palo and drummer Belleno for a new chapter in New Trolls' history. Bassist D'Adamo remained and singer/guitarist Ricky Belloni was hired to complete the line-up. In 1975 the band released a live album on Magma simply titled "N.T. L.I.V.E." which contained songs prior-breakup and some excerpts from the forthcoming studio album "Concerto grosso no. 2", which was released in 1976. "Concerto grosso no. 2" revisited the style of their best selling album, but this time the critics considered it to be "pale" and too "pop-vein". Magma Records eventually released both "Concerto grosso" albums in a single package.
