I Teoremi

I TEOREMI was an Italian group that released one album in hard rock style in the beginning of the seventies. The line-up of the group was: Aldo Bellanova (bass), Mario Schiliro (electric guitar), Claudio Mastracci (drums) and Tito Gallo (vocals). Before the album the group had already released a single with a different vocalist Vincenzo Massetti. After the album the group members disappeared from the music scene except for the bassist Aldo Bellanova who later joined SAMADHI and recorded their only album with them.

The only album was released in 1972, the first really great year for Italian progressive. The music in this album is more like LED ZEPPELIN style hard rock but the overall sound is more progressive due to the imaginative rhythm section. The music highlights the electric guitar but it is actually the bassist that steals the show. The keyboards (piano) are featured in only one of the tracks. The vocals suit the music very well and are perhaps the strongest point besides the bassist. Not a very progressive album in the true meaning of the word but a good album nevertheless.

I TEOREMI is recommended for listeners who like progressive with a prominent hard rock sound.
