Given that Acqua Fragile sing in English, their sound is more typical of the UK progressive rock movement (elements of Genesis, Yes, and Gentle Giant are obvious). Despite that, I still find both Acqua Fragile albums appealing - and Lanzetti has a unique voice that served PFM well for many years afterward. So perhaps not a good representative of what we have come to know as classic Italian prog, but taken on its own accord, it holds up well, similar to Cherry Five in that way.

In addition to the obvious progressive rock genre, Acqua Fragile also had a distinct Crosby, Stills & Nash sound on their folkier numbers. You particularly hear this on A3, B1, and B3. The opening track is probably the closest Acqua Fragile ever came to traditional Italian prog, while the remainder has a familiar UK prog vibe surrounding it, as noted in my initial review.
