My fave of these is either T2's album or Spring, and seeing as Spring had a few votes I'll go for T2.

      Wow, that's a lot of obscure progressive...can they really all
be masterpieces if they're that unknown? I don't know, but you
gotta love a band with three mellotron players in the line-up.
Did they really have three mellotrons? Sounds like a touring
nightmare.

     The only album there I know is Arzachel, but I think it's too
sketchy to qualify as a masterpiece. Check out Jan Hammer's
"The First Seven Days" (1975) for a true forgotten masterpiece.
Out of print for years, it just came out on CD very recently, and I
still find it the best multi-keyboard album ever made.

My vote goes to the Arzachel album. Especially the 2nd side (of the vinyl) is excellent.

Andrew,

maybe you can help me looking for 70's instrument prog(sorry, but italian lyrics get in the way of the music for me).

Anyway Ill give you a list of the ones I know I like and see if you have others for suggestion. I have heard most of the releases by the artists I name, so only looking for new artists I havent heard.

Picchio dal Pozzo - debut, Il Volo - Essere, o non essere!, Sensations Fix - Portable Madness, Luciano Basso - Voci and Il Baricentro - Trusciant. 

thanks for the help!

  • PAT MORAN / vocals, mellotron 
  • RAY MARTINEZ / guitars, mellotron
  • ADRIAN (BONE) MALONEY / bass guitar
  • PICK WITHERS / drums
  • KIPPS BROWN / piano, organ, mellotron

I recommend you to buy this album, it's a real lost gem!

This is a good poll ... and the three albums I've heard are all excellent ... T2, Comus and Tonton Macoute ...

I voted for T2 ... but even that was a tough choice ... now I'm even more keen to hear the others!

Hello Andrew, you're really a great connoisseur of the italian progrock field!

What do you think about Riccardo Zappa?

What about the first three  Alan Sorrenti's (progrock) albums?

Meglio non abusare troppo dell'italiano, altrimenti poi gli altri non capiscono!

I have heard 60-70% of all those you list. Just looking for specific mostly instrumental prog for 70's italy that is as original and diverse as the ones I previously mentioned. If you know some specifically.
