This review is from: Forse Le Lucciole Non Si (Audio CD)

This brilliant Italian progressive outfit made this recording in 1977 and then disapeared for over twenty years. A pity, as this recording is a classic. It stands equally with the finest of PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Le Orme, Museo Rosenbach and other Italian progressive greats. The musicianship, compositions, vocals(in Italian) and production are all exceptional. Where there is a strong melodic sense throughout the arrangements are quite complex and rich. Not a weak cut in the entire 54 minutes of music. A must have for any prog fan, Italian or otherwise....Simon

This is my introduction to the world of Italian Prog Rock. Brilliant songwriting flowing with melody from pianos, flutes, guitars, bass, even harpsichords (but i think they're synthesized). Some complain about the vocals either being too strong or not strong enough - I think they're just fine, but the focus is more on the music than the vocals anyways. Track 4 has a softer duet. Most of this cd makes images in my head of walking down a street on a brisk winter day in New York City in 1977 while snowing softly and stopping in at an italian restaraunt or deli. My favorite song is the title track. The bonus track is really not essential, I usually stop at track 7 because the ending of it has the same theme as the title track and the album sounds more whole that way. This cd has sparked my interest in Italian prog rock and my collection of it will slowly grow.

This is yet another unheralded progressive rock masterpiece, and one of the great prog albums ever. This is certainly one of the top five Italian prog albums I have ever heard, and perhaps my personal favorite. It's certainly up there with the work of Banco, Le Orme and PFM, if not better. A great place to start exploring Italian progressive rock too.. very accessible, melodic and symphonic. Beautiful vocals and awe-inspriring arrangements.
