Italy, 1974, symphonic prog / progressive rock

Quella Vecchia Locanda – Il tempo della gioia: Translated as “the time of joy”, this album’s wonderful contents packed into a mere 34 minutes indeed comprise a time of joy. This album is reflective of the band’s career: short and productive, not wasting any time in getting their musical message across. There are some pretty mindblowing psychedelic moments here, actually, and I love the way the whole thing ends in some brakes-screeching discordant crash.
