OSANNA: Milano Calibro 9 (OST)(1972 Rock Progressivo Italiano ) Full Album

Osanna biography Founded in Naples, Italy in 1971 - Disbanded in 1979 - Reformed in 1999 OSANNA is classic seventies Italian prog. The basis of their sound is original heavy guitar rock often in combination with amazing flute solos. Additionally, more spacey, Pink Floydian parts and quiet interludes with acoustic guitar and flute can be heard as well. There are plenty of mood changes and surprises that make this music very dynamic and interesting. Their first three are masterpieces in their own right. The superb "L'Uomo" in which heavy rock and spacey jazz are only a few of the styles included, the soundtrack "Milano Calibro 9" and their best "Palepoli" which is so bizarre and complex, beginners may be too dazzled by the array of styles presented. "Palepoli" covers a wide range of styles, moods, and tempo variations, and OSANNA handle these diverse modes of playing superbly. This eponymus masterpiece can be compared to BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO or PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI. An ultimate classic! 1. Preludio (4:10) 2. Tema (4:50) 3. Variazione I (To Plinius) (2:10) 4.
