Italian Progressive Rock
Trip (The) - Caronte (RCA, PSL 10508) (1971)

The Trip released their Masterpiece, with a big M, "Caronte" in 1971. The powerful interplay between Gray and Vescovi is excellent throughout the album.
If the "dream collaboration" between  Jimi Hendrix and  Keith Emerson had ever happened, then I imagine it would have sounded close to this! The finest example of this is on "Two Brothers", which merged psychedelic, heavy and classical flavours of rock. By now, Vescovi could afford a mellotron, offering mellow string textures on the track, "Little Janie". The excellent rhythm section throughout the album, courtesy of Andersen and Sinnone, was also notable. Speaking of  Jimi Hendrix, the album also included the mournful requiem "Ode a J.Hendrix".

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Very hard to find, and expensive.
