Gruppo 2001
GRUPPO 2001 released their only album “L’Alba Di Domani” in 1972. The album, though, might not appeal to everyone. In fact, even the beginning of the LP is deceiving. The first track sounds like typical 70s Italian prog.
Le Orme – Ad Gloriam – 1969
Circus 2000
Debut album from 1970 sounds like Jefferson Airplane Female vocals. with a very short running time, with strong californian psych influence and the beautiful female voice of Silvana Aliotta above all. A mediocre album, not representative of the Italian style, yet it’s regarded by many as a very nice one. I am the witch (also on single in the Italian version Io, la strega) is one of the best cuts.
Jacula-Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus
“Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus” is a truly like or hate it album. Some just call this a bunch of Satanic nonsense, others call it spooky and Gothic.
