A hidden gem of the 1970s Italian scene, this self-titled debut by Il Segno Dello Zodiaco is a sophisticated blend of Progressive Rock and melodic Italian Pop. Released on the iconic Ri-Fi label, the album stands out for its lush arrangements, poetic lyrics, and a distinct "dreamy" atmosphere that balances symphonic ambition with catchy hooks.
While it leans more towards the "Pop-Prog" side of the spectrum compared to heavier contemporaries, its rare original pressings are highly sought after by collectors of Mediterranean vintage sounds.

La Mia Poca Grande Età marks the official debut of Carla Bissi, soon to be known globally as Alice. Released in 1975 on the CBS label, this album is a delicate and sophisticated example of Italian pop-prog with singer-songwriter leanings.
Produced by Giancarlo Lucariello (the mastermind behind Pooh's golden era), the record features lush orchestral arrangements and a crystalline vocal performance that already hints at the powerful, deep timbre Alice would perfect in the 80s alongside Franco Battiato. Tracks like "Io Voglio Vivere" and "Diciott'anni" capture the melancholic yet hopeful essence of youth, blending classical instrumentation with the emerging synth textures of the time. It is a vital document for anyone tracing the evolution of Italian "Musica d'Autore."
