  CAMPO DI MARTE !!!!  on AMS (AMSLP01)





he story of CAMPO DI MARTE (named after an area of Florence) is a familiar one in the annals of Italian progressive rock. Like many of their fellow countrymen they released one album and due to a lack of interest and record company promotion split up. In fact the band had already called it a day before the album was released. Nevertheless it remains an important release and well worth seeking out for anyone with more than a passing interest in the genre.

The band was formed in Florence in 1971 by ex-SENSO UNICO guitarist Enrico Rosa who also composed all the material. Drummer/flautist Mauro Sarti had previously played with Rosa in LA VERDE STAGIONE and the line-up was completed by American bassist Paul Richard (real name Richard Ursillo), on keyboards and French horn Alfredo Barducci and second drummer Carlo Felice Marcovecchio who had previously played with I CALIFFI. All band members are credited with vocals, though they only appear sporadically, the album being for the greater part instrumental.
