Description
A five-piece from Brianza, I Ricordi d'Infanzia only released an album and a couple of singles in 1973. They had previously played under the name of Gli Aspidi and were also present on the Fonit compilation Nuovi complessi d'avanguardia da Radio Montecarlo.
With the new name I Ricordi d'Infanzia, since 1972, they played as support band with I Pooh and Le Orme.
Io uomo contains a very good progressive sound, based on mediocre lyrics on the creation of mankind (a recurring theme in many Italian prog bands' concept albums). The eight tracks album has its best moments in Morire e non morire and the opening Caos, one of the few tracks with keyboards to the fore.
After the demise of the album, totally unnoticed due to the lack of promotion from the record company, the group had a line-up change, with newcomers Gianni Bari (sax) and Ugo Biondi (keyboards) replacing Cassina and Vergani, and they played until 1976.
An ultrarare album, one of the rarest on Fonit-Cetra, Io uomo originally had a textured gatefold cover that included the lyrics but no details on the band.
The album was issued in the LPP series that included mostly popular music records and oddly didn't include the group name on the cover, just a mention in the liner notes in the inner gatefold.
