Nothing much to say about this one, Alphataurus, by sure one of the ten best Italian prog records of all times. Alpahataurus is a masterpiece, so well crafted and played that it seems impossible that’s been made by a group of unknowns. The singer Bavaro has a very original voice, keyboard player Pietro Pellegrini plays with competence and no self-indulgence, guitar-playing of Guido Wasserman is well cared and the rhythm section of Oliva and Santandrea creates a powerful background. The album includes five long compositions of which Peccato d’orgoglio and La mente vola are the best, the latter featuring a nice moog intro and a stunning vibes solo.

LP reissue in triple gatefold sleeve as the original album, with sound taken the master tapes.
