Festa Mobile

Italian band from the mid-70, their one self-titled album is a fantasy concept with large space given to keyboards and vocals a bit too low compared to the musical background. The music is for the most part pretty fast space prog rock, and very Italian sounding in a similar vein as PFM. Their guitarist offers some very tasty Fripp-influenced riffs and he does a good job balancing the quirky piano lines. Add to that also a good singer and some very memorable melody-lines. The album has its good moments though not one of the best in the symphonic prog style. Some jazz influences are evident.
