OFFICINA MECCANICA - Italian RAI TV 1976 - "Adesso Musica", prob. summer 1976
"Adesso Musica" was a very popular broadcast which hosted every kind of music, including jazz and classical. Many progressive bands appeared there, since its beginning in 1972...
This underrated group appeared at the very end of the cycle, and then, in 1976 also italian prog. was coming to an end, so to say...This video is one of the weirdest thing I ever saw in the so-called prog, fusing elements of symphonic pop, jazz...and the members are looking as if they belonged to different bands, and you can feel that it's the end of it all; Banco, PFM, Area,... were already moving towards other directions, and the "true" progressive - which has a 1000 faces - was dying.
P.S. The singer's shoes are horrible, but even Battiato in 1972...
"Bambini Innocenti"
Total timing 3:45
