There's a language barrier that bothers me quite a bit. Nonetheless, this is musically great and very emotional at times.

While I don't understand a single word myself, I totally enjoy the singer performance. The only con I see, it's the rather weak production like it had often happened in Italian bands from the early 70s (same in the case of PFM for instance)

I like the vocals too. The production is not bad at all. I just can't relate to the lyrics in any way for the apparent reason.

To be honest Jethro I think the vocals here are emotional but I believe this singer don't have a golden voice.
Usual to happen in some prog bands...more instrumental oriented.

As a whole, production seems alright, but a big part of the instrumentation is too low in the mix, providing a distant sound if you pay attention. (Just don't haha)

I probably got a remastered version because it sounds really good.

@Notrap; Singer sings almost all over the place. Banco are not instrumental oriented save their album Di Terra (you might enjoy that one). Personaly, this is the best Italian vocalist ever in prog. So powerful, yet emotional but yeah, to each their own.

@Greg; Possibly. I hope you own the original version of 1972, 'cos they re-did it all in 1991, not for the best; the latter version really didn't capture the essence of the original.
