Gleemen - Dove Vanno Le Stelle Quando Viene Giorno (2023)

 

The third album from this band from Italy.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band is one of the forerunners of the Italian progressive rock scene, the RPI scene. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1970 and it was a beat album. See my review here.

It took the band forty-three years to return with their second album. It was a rock'n'roll album and you can read my review from # 1 of this blog here.

It took them ten years to return with their third album, the one I am reviewing here. 

This album is one hour long and it has a mix of cover versions and original material.

The album starts with a The Beatles cover.... Tomorrow Never Knows. That quirky song sets the tone for the rest of the album. The music is quirky and 1960s psychedelia throughout. 

The vocals is good and the band does a good job on the decent enough songs here. Gleemen should be appreciated as a pre-historic RPI band. Ditto for this album and their first two albums.
