Apoteosi (1975)
Apoteosi is a family affair, three-fifth's of the group lead by the Ida
family based in Calabria (the toe in Italy's boot). And the label was
run by the father, who had signed up many local folk artists. What we
have here is the Italian progressive rock version of the Free Design.
And the keyboardist is no older than 14, running on another 1970s
tradition of: Youth. Semiramis featured a 16 year old mastermind as did
MIA of Argentina with their 15 year old whiz-kid. Hey, Mozart was 5 when
he got started, so why not right?
Apoteosi is classic turn-on-a-dime Italian progressive rock in the Semiramis / Jumbo tradition with Jenny Sorrenti / Saint Just like vocals. Hard to dislike this one if a fan of the genre. Finishes with a space rock number straight from the Sensations' Fix playbook. Finding this private press must have been nirvana for collectors worldwide back in the day.

Really not much to add here. The album continues to impress and maintain its high rating.
