Latte e Miele - Passio Secundum Mattheum (1972)
If I had to take just an arm full of albums with me to the deserted Island I would definitely take "Passio Secundum Mattheum" with me !
I discovered this album a long while now ago and have played this album so many times and still just love it all. Gorgeous songs with a nice progressive rock symphonic vibe all the way thru. Fans of PFM, LE Orme will love this album I am sure.
So who ever called these guys an "ELP wanna be" should go play on the
highway! LATTE E MIELE offer only subtle reminders of the great ELP, but
certainly take us here down a journey into the unknown. This is one of
the all time classic Italian prog releases. Here dream-like passages are intertwined with the narrative of the story giving the listener a full
concept feeling. LATTE E MIELE offer here some very dynamic mood swings
and go from pastel pastures to heavy jazz-like passages. This album
contains some of the greatest progressive rock moments ever recorded from Italy.
This recording is multi-layered and has many operatic influences giving a
full and intelligent feel to the recording throughout... it is one of
my all time favs and is essential in anyone's collections.
