just found this, hadn't thought to look before.
I picked up their 3rd lp a couple of decades ago probably because it was the one thing i could find at the time. I was trying to explore non english speaking prog cos I thought it might be a bit less obviously precious. I wondered if there had been much of a difference between that lp and the preceding 2 and it does seem like it lacks the psychedelic tinge that is pretty pronounced on those.
Not really thought about it much recently, got reminded of it earlier this week so checked out tracks on Spotify where I'd also been checking out Italian prog after getting the Ambropse croce book for xmas. Mainly been listening to podcasts on tehre recently.

I think there is a folk influence on here that may become more pronounced on teh 2nd lp but does seem that what they are jamming on are folk airs doesn't it?
