L'UOMO

I am surprised that there are no more stress about their very much Tull oriented music (and not only due to the wonderful flute play). The music featured on this album ranges from excellent ("L'Uomo", ") to below average ("Mirror Train") or even poor as the funky and closing number "Lady Power".

This release has definitely been a source of inspiration for many Italian bands of this golden era, but not only for their symphonic approach. Their heavy sound has many connection with "Ibis" for instance. My favourite track from this work is "Non Sei Vissuto Mai". The most "Tull-esque" song (must be therefore, I guess). A complex kaleidoscope of subtle fluting and hard-rocking style. Did I say Tull?

Some heavy psychedelia as well during "Vado Verso Una Meta" completes their musical approach. And I believe that the man responsible for the great fluting and good sax deserves to be mentioned. Elio adds another dimension to their music (just listen to the mighty sax during "In Un Vecchio Cieco"). A good example to highlight his talent.

The wonderful Italian genre is fully present during "L'amore Vincera' Di Nuovo". You get it all here. Passionate vocals, wonderful melody, subtle fluting. A highlight full of emotion. At times, this wonderful song turns on the the harder edge, and again it reminds me the great Tull.

This album probably lacks in consistency, but it is still a good one. Three stars.
