QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA is a great Italian prog band of the historic
scene, formed in Rome in the early seventies. QVL plays a complex music
with a lot of instrumental combinations, beautiful melodies and a very
high sophistication. Close to KING CRIMSON.
QVL released two
albums which are both considered essential releases from that particular
scene. The first album is still regarded as a classic in its field,
with an original fusion of classical influences and the use of flute and
electric violin in evidence. QVL was fairly typical of the style,
especially on their second album, "Il Tempo Della Goia", which ranks as
one of the finest examples of classical, pastoral Italian symphonic
along the lines of PFM, CELESTE, ALUSA FALLAX or LOCANDA DELLE FATE. The
group sadly disbanded soon after the second album, leaving us with two
more italian progressive gems, both with beautiful covers. Two of the
most looked records of Italy!!!
