Corte Dei Miracoli - Corte Dei Miracoli – 1976 (IT) progressive rock

One of the more underrated Italian progressives, at least to these ears. Kind of like a lower-key version of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, with more understated (but still excellent) vocals. No guitar (save for a guest appearance by Nico di Palo of the New Trolls on the opening track), but the same dense, dual-keyboard action as Banco. And as it was probably their first experience with a high-tech, multi-track recording facility, the drummer saw fit to fill up all the free tracks with every percussion instrument he could lay his hand on (tons of temple block and bongo fills on this album!). Some folks actually complain about this, me I find it gives this album a distinction that is totally its own. Absolutely worth having.
