Italy
Progressive Rock, Symphonic Prog
Perfect example of a group made up of skilled individuals (singer excluded) who are unable to put their skills to good use.
This album strongly influenced by the progressive from across the Channel is divided into a relatively listenable more "Italian" side A (in instrumentation and composition), and a B side full of Genesis-like garbage and crowned by the "Three Hands Man" ending, a kind of rhapsodic collage without rhyme or reason.
One of the most execrable creations of macaronic prog-rock.
Acqua Fragile will only have existed for two albums but will have left their mark in the world of Italian prog. Far from being a major band like PFM or Banco, Acqua Fragile having a singer with texts in English (with a voice very Peter Gabriel period Foxtrot) composed here an album where we find Gentle Giant and Genesis (Morning comes) as influence while knowing that they have their identity. A track like 'Three Hands Man' shows the band at their musical peak. There are also some nice folk sounds throughout the album which yes, make you think a bit of CSNY at times and drift into plagiarism on the other hand. A rather rare album these days but definitely worth hearing.
