aria (coloured)

A very important artist from Naples, Alan Sorrenti released his first album in 1972 on the legendary Harvest label. Aria is an absolute Italian Prog classic, with two different sides: the first only contained the long title track, a dreamy psych-suite starting with acoustic guitar and based on the marvellous instrument-like voice of Sorrenti, and exploding in the final part with a memorable violin solo by Jean Luc Ponty.

Side 2 was softer, with three tracks, two of which also appeared on a single: whereas "Vorrei Incontrati" is particulary nice.

A great record, reissued on CLEAR GREEN VINYL.

Track Listing:

• Aria 19:53
