Another of those obscure Italian 70's prog classics. CAMPO DI MARTE plays full of fiery invention and complex dynamics, covering an incredible range of musics but retaining a style uniquely its own. For every heavy moment there are also generally pleasant passages with piano, flute and horn. The melodies are, as usual for Italian bands, impeccable. The music ranges from elegant and simple to moderately complex, invoking PFM's "Storia di un Minuto" and IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO's "Ys" as fair comparisons. Overall this Italian band blends its Meditterreanean melodicism with convincing hard rock. Those who think they've mined all the Itali-prog essentials would do well to check out this album.
