Motore Termico

A five-piece of very good musicians from Rome, Albero Motore were aided and produced by 60's singer-guitarist Ricky Gianco who helped them with a recording deal with the newly born Intingo label. "Il Grande Gioco" seems one of those rock-inspired singer-songwriters' albums so popular in Italy during the 70's, with much more space to the voice than to lead instruments, prog influences are minimal, with honky piano and excellent but short American-styled guitar licks to the fore, helped by a good voice, and the album is a nice listening though with no particular merits.
The only relevant tracks are Israele with lyrics on the Palestinian people and the closing Provvisorietà, introduced by a short instrumental (and much closer to a prog style, this time) called Capodanno '73.
