Studio Album, Released in 1973, Rock Progressivo Italiano

RUSTICHELLI & BORDINI – Opera Prima

Mellotron, mellotron and more mellotron, garnished with organ, side of C3 Hammond and sautéed with piano. Another excellent and compelling one-shot band from the italian scene of the seventies. Paolo Rustichelli and Carlo Bordini were a very talented duo of musicians who decided to elaborate what would habe been their unique album combining only two kinds of instruments: keyboards in all their pompous and soft variety (organ C.3 Hammond, Mellotron, Arp V.C.S. 3, piano) and drums always well played. If you ever wanted to hear what ELP might have sounded like with Mellotron then this is your chance. However Rustichelli & Bordini aren't mere ELP clones. This is one great album. In my opinion this is a 'must have' album for all proggers.
