Customer Reviews of Io Sono Nato Libero
The Zenith of the Banco The best LPs of Banco del Mutuo soccorso are Darwin, Come in un'ultima cena and Io sono nato libero. This one is probably their best album. A bit more mature than Darwin and a bit more creative than Come in un'ultima cena. The keyboard background never sounded more righ and gorgeous, Di Giacomo's voice never sounded more precious, Rodolfo Maltese's acoustic guitar never sounded more delicate. It is not a case if their most famous song among the general, non-prog-rock-maniac public (at least here in Italy), that is, Non mi rompete, is contained in this LP. All the songs in this CD are compelling, moving, well-played and wonderfully-sung. It could be the first CD you can buy if you wish to get acquainted with this great Italian prog-rock band--if you cannot afford the 2 CDs collection, I mean!
So, if you do not believe Bocelli is all Italy can offer to the world, try this.
Sheer excellence.
This superb, high quality recording (remastered in 2002) opens with the 15'43 Canto nomade per un Prigioniero Politico which is ushered in by soft synthesizer lines and Francesco di Giacomos remarkable vocals (in Italian). The piece swiftly kicks into gear however and the quiet introduction gives way to breathtakingly intricate ensemble work, metric complexity, and soaring synthesizer leads (there are two keyboard players). Banco has an experimental/avante-garde side, which becomes apparent about halfway through Canto nomade per un Prigioniero Politico. Before panic sets in, I would like to point out that the Banco take on the avante garde never strays outside the boundaries of rock and is actually quite pleasant. Finally, there are some very nice classical guitar parts (played by Rodolfo Maltese I think), which are alternated with a more experimental percussion based section. All in all, it is a very busy 15'43. The second track on the CD, Non mi Rompete, is a pastoral, acoustic piece that features a tasteful moog solo. This quieter song provides a stunning contrast with the opening extravaganza. La Citta Sottile is ushered in with some excellent acoustic piano playing and then launches into a characteristically proggish romp with great string synthesizer parts. The 9'54 Dopo...Niente e piu lo Stresso is somewhat similar to the first track, while the closing piece Traccia II is a really neat, albeit short showcase for the Nocenzi's and their arsenal of synthesizers. This recording is quite possibly one of the finest to come out of the Italian scene and should be considered a must have for fans of progressive rock. Highly recommended in addition to their excellent, eponymous debut (1972), Darwin! (1972), and Banco (1975).
dual keys!
If you only get one Banco album get this one. It's not as silly as Darwin and it's a little harder and has a great sci-fi feel to it due to the more liberal use of 70's synths. The singer's voice is a bit theatrical for me, but hey it's Italian. I was disappointed when I saw them live a couple of years ago...they did not play much material from this album because they only had one of the keyboard brothers. This is also one of their more technically advanced efforts.
