L'UNITÀ

As one of the pioneers in the field of Rock in Opposition and having some very good records in their dischography, what the band offers in this record is no more than a joke for almost any listener interested in italian proggressive music. What we are going to listen on the first side is a collection of songs with the main theme of the unity of Italy (Unità, in italian), Political balads in a folky and country way that I consider quite disappointing. The second side, despite being slightly better than the first one, doesn´t really imporve the overall level of the record. The only exception should be Suit per F. & F., very bluesy and with some great moments betwen guitar and keyboards, but on the whole it sounds as what had been done in USA on the late sixties. I can´t rate it with more than 2 stars, because I can´t find any interest on it, and only completionists of the band or italian music in general will find some interest on it.
