‘Palepoli’ Is Not An Album – It’s An Event!
I have just received this record from our friend The Chauffeur while I was fighting vs. high waters in Prague and I am immensly impressed with this album. It is no understatement to call Osanna’s “Palepoli” a masterpiece, and deserves 10 stars out of 5.
The music never lets up and doesn’t sit still long enough to invite boredom. Movement after movement, the band relentlessly dazzles the listener with virtuosity, and those heaven-sent melodies that can only be found in Italian Prog.
On this 1973 album Osanna really let the Van der Graaf Generator and King Crimson influences fly – in fact, I did hear some unmistakable snippets from a few King Crimson albums including In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) (21st Century Schizoid Man) and In the Wake of Poseidon (1970) (Pictures of City). I might add that this is a fantastic mix of influences on an album that punishes the listener with crushing volumes in one moment and then soothes with dreamy and soft mellotron heavy passages in the next. Come to think of it, I would place Palepoli right up there with some of my favorite Italian prog albums.
This remastered japanese super-pressing duplicates the original LP format and features inner gatefold art that is pretty freaky. The sound quality is excellent.
All in all, this is yet another incredible and heavy album of Italian progressive rock that is very highly recommended along with Il Balletto di Bronzo’s YS album, Cervello’s Melos (1973), Semiramis’s Dedicato A Frazz (1973); and Biglietto per L’Inferno (1974). All of these albums feature a similar mixture of heavy and soft textures.

OSANNA по праву считается одной из лучших прогрессивных рок групп Италии. В первой половине 70х годов они выдали на гора целый ряд альбомов, которые вошли в золотой фонд, как итальянского рока, так и вообще прогрессивной музыки. В своей музыке знаменитому квинтету удалось удачно соединить жесткие гитарные партии с изящными симфо-проговыми интонациями и элементами фолк рока.
