MASS MEDIA STARS

I have not heard their other albums , but Acqua Fragile is on the podium for the category of Earliest Examples of Clones in Prog Music. Not a single ounce of originality (if this is understandable in 2004 , it is not for 1973) , this album reeks of Genesis and Yes. This is so obvious in the singer's voice who most of the times sounds like Gabriel and Surkamp (Pavlov's Dog) and the the backing vocals that sounds like Squire backing up Jon Anderson. The music is almost entirely cloned out of Genesis. If you don't mind everything I have just denounced , than this should be a four star album for you. The fact that this sort of work does ask for some talent though , stops me from rating it lower.
