EXQUISITE SWEEPING SYMPHONIC PROGRESSIVE MASTERPIECE
FORMULA THREE MEETS OSAGE TRIBE
IL VOLO
\ CND - RCA - KPL 0094
Original 1974 first CND pressing in thick cover comes the first and arguably best by a sweeping Italian band formed from the ashes of the mighty Formula Three and Osage Tribe...A real grower of the best kind, the memorable melodics are classic with equisite interplay woven in sweeping majestic highs...
Usually described as a "supergroup", IL VOLO was a studio band formed by very popular musicians all coming from famous bands: Alberto Radius and Gabriele Lorenzi from FORMULA THREE, Mario Lavezzi from FLORA FAUNA CEMENTO and Camaleonti, Bob Callero from OSAGE TRIBE and DUELLO MADRE, Gianni Dall'Aglio from RIBELLI, along with composer Vince Tempera who also had his own band PLEASURE MACHINE. With such a pedigree it's obvious that both albums are very well played, and memorably enjoyable in their originality. An obvious similarity with FORMULA TRE is evident, along with a certain jazz-rock feel present throughout both their albums, whose distinctive element is the voice, missing on the 2nd Lp "Essere O Non Essere?" The group disbanded soon after the second release. Ve
Excellent, highly performed fusion edged-progressive melodic with symphonic elements combined from very interesting percussion, keyboards, as nicely balanced mood moves through both sides. The music of IL VOLO is built upon two keyboards, fantastic bass tones & wired guitar with great vocals and lush arrangements. Close to early Banco del Mutuo Sorcosso in the vocals parts and beauty of the themes by the instrumental virtuosity. It's one of the most accessible Italian progressive items and equally impressive gettinh better with each play....
