I Signori Della Galassia (The Lords Of The Galaxy) were a band coming from Savona, Liguria. Formed by six members Franco Delfino (keyboards, voice), Gigi Mosello (keyboards, voice), Manuel Gustavino (guitar), Bruno Govone (guitar), Sergio Babboni (bass) and Beppe Aleo (drum), recorded two albums: "Qualcosa Si Crea Nulla Si Distrugge" in 1978 and "Iceman" the year after.
The music of I Signori Della Galassia is really multifaceted as it gathers elements of 70s space disco as well as 70s Italian prog rock and pop. Initially they were seen as the Italian answer to Rockets (do you remember the silver space men coming from France that had different major hits like "On The Road Again", "Electric Delight" or "Galaxy"?) but their style was also referring to bands like Goblin. Using only analog synths, guitars and drum the band created a unique sound which was kinda cinematic and powerful where catchy melodies, great space sounds and inspiration were the key elements.
