Nicosia & C. Industria Musicale • Una favola vera (1973) Rock Progressivo Italiano

 Download

Durante anos fui completamente louca pelo progressivo Italiano, considerava que era o melhor prog do mundo, já não sou tão radical, mas ainda acho que é um dos melhores, a Italia foi uma grande produtora de excelentes bandas principalmente nos anos 70. Bom este disco é otimo!

Nicosia & C. Industria Musicale biography
This unique-sounding band from Piemonte, Italy, formed initially in 1971 as a quartet under the leadership of guitarist Nuccio Nicosia. The quartet was soon expanded into a "big band" format, with the addition of four trumpets and four trombones. The musicians eventually recorded their only album, Una Favola Vera, in 1973. Their aspirations were high--they wanted to produce a synthesis of elements of rock, jazz, classical, folk, and pop with lyrics that addressed many problems of society, especially focusing on the issues of immigration from Southern to Northern Italy. The blend of instruments is unique, with a full brass section in addition to the typical RPI instrumental combinations of guitar, bass, piano, organ, Moog, drums, violin, flute, and sax. The result is a delightful album with many elements familiar to RPI fans, but with the addition of the brass section. Described as "a bit intrusive at times," the brass section is nevertheless what sets this band apart from most RPI bands and creates their unique sound. NICOSIA & C. INDUSTRIA MUSICALE often sounds like a more pop-oriented version of OFFICINA MECCANICA, another band with a large brass section, albeit much more adventurous. Traces of SHOWMEN 2 and NAPOLI CENTRALE are also heard. The album is recommended to all fans of RPI and would be a great addition to your music library.
