Alusa Fallax - Intorno Alla Mia Cattiva Educazione (1974) (@256)
(Review from vintageprog.com, progarchives.com)
Alusa Fallax is yet another band from the fruitful 70s Italian progressive rock scene, who falls into the vast and sad universe of bands which have unleashed a 'masterpiece debut' album and no follow ups whatsoever.
The group played symphonic progressive with a baroque edge, and their album shows that they were a band of high quality. The sound is dominated by flute, keyboards (piano, organ, harpsichord and synth) and some saxophone. The songwriting is incredible and varies from very beautiful ("Non Fatemi Caso" and "Per Iniziare Una Vita") to very energetic ("E Oggi") and to almost classical influenced and baroque (the title-track). The balance between vocal parts and instrumental parts is almost perfect through the whole album. And don't get scared when you see that there are 13 tracks in here. All of them floats together and makes a incredible continuos piece of symphonic progressive rock.

- Guido Gabet / guitar
