Notes
180g deluxe vinyl gatefold sleeve
One of the most important and loved Italian prog bands, and one of the most famous among foreign listeners.
Le Orme were another of those bands coming from the beat era
that had the most convincing musical evolution in the 70's.
They were formed in Marghera (nearVenice) in 1966 but their debut came in 1967
with Fiori e colori, recorded by the original four-piece line-up.
The band had a successful single with Senti l'estate che torna
and recorded their first album Ad Gloriam at the end of 1968,
releasing it the following year.
Faithfully restored and reprinted in the original sleeve.

Let's face this Le Orme debut. And my second LO album, after one new addition, I take their effort since beginning. So I'm not biased, nor affected against them in a way that I know more. Unique state in which I am, so innocent and virgin like by nature, not spoiled by beautiful sounds of their later work (hypothetical good tunes, I suppose that when rated so well, they'll be good). Not for long, but for now, I am.
And you are curious, dear reader, what I have to offer ? Hell, I'm curious too, what this record has to offer. Well, for example first two tracks. First one is psychedelic intro, full of interesting Italian sounds and psychedelic sounds. Good intro, bass line with keyboards (crazy ones). Second is consisted of hypnotic riff, which evolves into guitar solo (nice one), with choir of eunuchs like vocals (don't be offended, this is my synonym for soprano/high pitched vocals, in my sense of reality, even woman can be eunuch, so don't worry, just enjoy it and forget my strange interest in eunuchs from court of Alexander the Great and Arnold Judas Rimmer). It's early, but everyone has to start with something and it's not often as good as their later debut, especially in terms of bands like this (or Genesis, Yes, Jethro). Songs are nice, psychedelic is the word that describes them best.
