ALBUM REVIEW
Named after their leader, guitarist Nuccio Nicosia, Industria Musicale were formed in 1972 with an unusual 12-piece line-up including a full horn section. . Their only album Una favola vera, released by Fonit in 1973, is a unique example of orchestral prog rock in the italian scene, and an interesting listen. It includes eight tracks, four of which are instrumental.instrumentsSome similarities with Showmen (or their later incarnation Napoli Centrale) can be heard in the melodic vocal parts and the use of horns, but the sound is very rich and definitely jazz-styled in the solo interludes, much in the same direction as some foreign groups like Blood Sweat and Tears or even Chicago in their lighter side. Two bonus tracks included.
