Their 5th LP. --> discogs
The group was based in a farm near Florence, and had a krautrock-like attitude that leaves them as a unique band in the Italian prog field. Mainly an electronic band, based on keyboards and with very little use of voice, they released no less than three albums in 1974, one of them only intended for promotional use, and all based on instrumental-only themes in the same style as many German bands of the Cosmic Couriers genre.
Their albums were self-produced and recorded in the band's own studio, with an amateurish sound quality.
With the entrance of keyboardist Stephen Headin 1976, the fourth album "Finest Finger" is their first containing many vocal parts, a more accessible work than their previous ones. In the same direction their next LP, Boxes Paradise.
This is a mellower album than their others. It's still great kraut/prog rock just with a smoother atmosphere. The opening track "The Flu" is an earlier version of the song "She's Gonna Grow On You" on the next album. In fact this LP feels like a warm-up to the next LP. And it sounds soooo German......I can't believe they're Italian.
After this LP the band went to California, where another US-only album, "Vision's Fugitives", was released, with no success. The most American-sounding of their albums, this also includes former Campo di Marte drummer Carlo Felice Marcovecchio (credited as Marco Marcovecchio) in a couple of tracks.
