New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock PO-PU (15844 words)
Their music is very symphonic, mixing influences from King Crimson and Genesis mostly, but in the end arriving at something not like anything before, and providing the mould for many other Italian and other European bands.
The music does not fall specifically into the category of "progressive rock," the way the term is used, and is probably more similar to some of the organ-based rock groups of that time, such as Argent and the like.
However, the music should appeal to the "rock-n-roll crossover" crowd, in that it is a blend of the rock-n-roll, almost bluesy, approach with some of the complexity and poetry that spawned the prog rock scene.
