Unique in the history of Italian progressive music, NEW TROLLS were leaders and were for a time the top band in Italy. In 1973, NEW TROLLS split into two camps, the hard-rocking IBIS and the symphonic-oriented NEW TROLLS ATOMIC SYSTEM. They crossed many different permutations of line-up changes, many musical stylings... and great hits, passing through beat, pop ballads, progressive rock works, hard rock, and melodic pop followed groups like GENESIS and PFM.

In 1971, the TROLLS released their greatest album "Concerto Grosso No. 1" that's still recognized as one of the most important Italian rock releases ever made. This album was to take them in a new direction. It was the first effort in Italy to fuse rock music with classical treatments. 1972 was the year in which NEW TROLLS became the producers of a mature music. Two albums were released that year, "Searching For a Land" and "UT". "Searching for a Land" (1972) is full of great songs and amazing musical highlights. "UT" is an amazing amalgam of progressive rock covering a wide variety of styles (references: YES, ELP, GENESIS, KING CRIMSON). The second "Concerto Grosso No. 2" (1976) was far more eclectic with few influences from classical music, and was not quite as good than the first one. From the album "Aldebaran" the sound became more commercial (like BEE GEES) until early 90's, then came to a new split. Now you know to go for true prog insight.

Nonetheless, "Concerto Grosso No. 1", "Searching for a Land", "UT" are highly recommended.

  • da piccolo vivevo nello stesso palazzo con Giorgio Usai me lo ricordo con quel capoccione di capelli rossi e un sorrisone sotto i baffi alla custer... in questo disco lui nn c'era ancora... enjoy the real music.

  • ottimi...

  • esto si merece llamarse MUSICA! esto es verdadera musica!

  • @SCOPOtuaMADRE QUANTA STIMA!!! respect!!!!

  • @SCOPOtuaMADRE ok sei il mio uomo :-D

  • @oceangipsy71 ok, ma dalle una passata nel microonde prima..troppo fredde non mi garbano.

  • @SCOPOtuaMADRE mi farebbe piacere che scopassi mia madre ma è morta alcuni anni fa... ti va bene lo stesso il suo cadavere?

  • Altro che i fighetti dei talent show o i decerebrati di "Amici" Questa e' vera musica!! Però, purtroppo e' vero che il meglio della musica e' stato fatto negli anni '70 ed ora siamo proprio in crisi creativa. Non si riesce più a sentire qualcosa di nuovo, di innovativo. Tutto e' ormai rimasticatura. Immensi New Trolls!!!

  • @SCOPOtuaMADRE  direi che a questo punto l'oscar al miglior commento è definitivamente assegnato... NUMERO UNO!!

  • come anche noi italiani possiamo vantarci di avere gruppi rock buoni!!!!
