1 Il Rovescio della Medaglia (RDM) Absent for this consumed world; Ora non ricordo piu'; Il suono del silenzio Contaminazione 1973 RCA/ Siwan
An amazing album helped with an apparently amazing budget. The album is inspired by JS Bach. This is one of my favorites of the Italian scene and prompted me to seek out more.
 
2 Delirium Viaggio Negli Arcipelaghi del Tempo 3 Viaggio Negli Arcipelaghi del Tempo 1974 Fonit Cetra/Siwan
A very nice heavy keyboard album. The vocals remind me of Kalevala in places - sometimes gruff, but, good nonetheless. Lots of flute - and yes, the music does sometimes sounds like Jethro Tull.
 
3 Capitolo 6 Il Tramonto di un Popolo Frutti per Kagua 1972 Mellow Records
Here is a another excellent band with flute, and some Tull influences.
 
4 E.A. Poe Considerazioni Generazioni (Storia De Sempre) 1974 Vinyl Magic
Hear are some short descriptions that I found in some catalogs about this album that seems appropriate: "Real good mystical haunting prog"-synphonic; "Jazzy prog. with alot of evilness" - record heaven
 
5 Il Balletto di Bronzo Epilogo Ys 1972 Polydor
It's a classic. Nuff said.
