ALBUM REVIEW
Formed in Urbino, Marche in 1964, Anonima Sound were a beat-pop trio that released four singles until 1970, when their leader Ivan Graziani (from Teramo, Abruzzo) left to pursue a very successful solo career that lasted until his death in 1997. Their first single Fuori piove was a hit at the time. The others reformed the band in 1971, changing their name to Anonima Sound Ltd. and with a new member in guitarist Massimo Meloni, and released a good italian-sung single in 1971, Io prendo amore. A year later a radical change in the line-up transformed the band into a seven-piece with two americans, singer/flutist Richard Ingersoll and percussionist Claudine Reiner, and englishman Peter Dobson on guitar, and a music heavily influenced by the english prog of the time. Their only album, on Arcobaleno label, is strongly influenced by the likes of Jethro Tull, with a good use of flute and totally sung in english. (italianprog.com)
