Banco del Mutuo Soccorso

"Darwin"

(1972)

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is a Italian group of progressive symphonic rock of the 70’s. Your three first disks they are basic, fundamental and indispensable for any person that it likes of the symphonic one progressive. The second, "Darwin" is a worthy successor of the first one and this carried out the same one year (1972).
It is starting from this disk, when the group begins its creative use of the syntetizers.El first topic "L'Evoluzione" is quite well a piece teacher of the symphonic-progressive one with two parts vowels differentiated. The first one very lyrical with singer Francesco's di Giacomo voice so characteristic I gave. The second, a lot but quick and with a lot of claw. The organ remembers to Emerson. Also permanently they are plentiful alone of short guitar and very intensos.Son fourteen wonderful minutes. "La Conquista Della Posizione Eretta" the topic strong ,con begins all the musicians playing to the unison, then they go relaxing small alone of synthetizers with different sounds but maintaining a rhythm intermission, after almost six minutes of musical force, the voice of di Giacomo arises that as goes singing the verses goes ascending of tone until a wind makes it disappear (the wind is heard). "Danza Dei Grandi Reitili" completely instrumental song with touches jazzy and it stops my with some evocation to Jethro Tull. "Cento Manni E Centro Occhi" I begin with synthesizers to E.L.P accompanied by a piano making in agreement repetitive along the piece. The bassoonist and the drum take the rhythm session masterfully. "750.000 Anni Fa ...L'Amore" simply wonderful. "Miserere Alla Storia" fears that it alternates quick parts of organ with acoustic parts something but slow. "Ed Ora Io Domano Tempo Al Tempo" this topic with its clavichord parts and accordion has airs of infantile song characteristic of the definitive fairs. En it is a very complete disk and although some influence of the Emerson Lake & Palmer, lyrically this disk this very above its time.
