NICO, GIANNI, FRANK, MAURIZIO - CANTI D'INNOCENZA CANTO D'ESPERIENZA - 1973

Warning: In this LP the name of the band is ? and for label promotion the band was named: Nico, Gianni, Frank, Maurizio

Ibis, or better ? (for label promotional problems: Nico, Gianni, Frank, Maurizio) is the Hard Rock/ Heavy Prog product of the first division of the New Trolls. As in the case of NT Atomic System, the album of ? is a very powerful release. Nico Di Palo manages to create a truly Heavy Prog album (and band) with good songs. Of the 6 songs that composing Canti D'Innocenza, Canti D'esperieza, the best song is surely L'Amico Della porta Accanto: excellent lyrics (about immigration, current theme), Great guitars (aggressive and angry at the right point), good Nico Di Palo's falsetto voice. The only flaw is the keyboard that are inserted forcefully... But this song is a great evergreen of 70's Italian POP... Correctly. The other songs? Well, except the short acoustic ballad Simona (dedicated to the daughter of Nico Di Palo) are extreme Hard Rock/ Heavy prog in the vein of New Trolls. And this description already says it all.

For the more Hard Rock face fans of New Trolls this Canti D'Innocenza, Canti D'esperienza is sure a Must!
