The first compilation album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added strings.
This is the first and best known compilation album from this band who has released numerous, twenfy-five plus albums. I got this album around fifteen years ago when I got interested in RPI. I thought this was a RPI band (it is not) and it has been laying around for fifteen years after I learned that this is not a RPI band.
I Nomadi was formed in 1963 and is still alive in one form or another.
This album is three quarters of an hour long and the music is Italian pop/rock.
Yes, the music is not RPI. The music still got a lot of the hallmarks of RPI.
A couple of the songs are indeed RPI songs as the band latched onto the genre in their quest for relevance and popularity. RPI was indeed very popular in Italy in the beginning of the 1970s.
Most of the album is pop/rock with lots of strings and slow crooning Italian vocals.
The songs should be cringeworthy.... but they are not. Some of the songs are actually pretty good. Other songs again are pretty dire.
Nevertheless, this was and probably still is a good band. This compilation album gives a good overview of the band in the early 1970s and is a decent album in its own right.
