Alpha Ralpha Boulevard = Papersleeve = (CD)
A band from Pavia formed around '67 from the ashes of local beat groups GLI SPETTERI, they only released an album in '71 for the small Polaris label (the same as I TEOREMI).
"Alpha Ralpha Boulevard" nowadays is considered a minor Italian prog classic , is housed in a very nice cover, while music is song-based, with soft and dreamy atmospheres and good
lyrics by composer Guido Bolzoni. Some foreign influences are evident in the guitar playing of Mario Rognoni (nicknamed Carlos for his ability in playing in Santana style), but the band's sound has a strong, typical Italian melodic songwriters vein. Instead of symphonic pomp, I NUMI focus on straightedged plots, based on the interplay between guitar and spinet, the excellent drumming. Papersleeve.
