ZAUBER-IL SOGNO, LP, 1978, ITALY

Dewily dulcet and perfectly poised Italian classical prog loveliness that takes on a distinctly Saint Just edge with the emergence of Liliana Bodini's plaintive vocals some 8 minutes in. Little here will give woodies to those looking for typical italo-prog thunder, Zauber instead locating their form of aural gravitas in the low key and bombast free, the poignance of these elegantly appointed constructs sometimes sharing a similar plangent chamber prog charge to France's Wapassou.

GUESS WHAT? IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS HAS JUST BEEN REISSUED, SO THE LINK'S BEEN YANKED. SORRY...
