EL TOR

Overall the music on this album is showing little resemblance to the one made by OSANNA. The first two songs are still quite in this vein, excellent symphonic prog with a jazzy approach, but the rest of the record mainly consists of "light prog-ish" kind of music, partly influenced by Italian folk as well as by American folk and blues rock. The commercial approach is at least for my ears more than subtle, actually quite obvious. Fans of OSANNA expecting something similar like they did will be definitively disappointed. IMHO quite a nice record, but as well not very special and rather ordinary. Probably not really worthwhile if one is looking for Italian Prog of the heavier and more sophisticated type. I'd like to give 2,5 stars for this one.
