Uno (Panna Fredda Album)
''Uno'' is the sole album by the Italian progressive rock band Panna Fredda. The album was recorded in 1970 but their record company delayed the release until 1971 and provided very little marketing support. As a consequence the album was not successful and the group disbanded. ''Uno'' was recorded in 1970 making it "one of the first classics of Italian progressive rock." Reception The album did not have a significant impact on release; however, it has been positively reviewed in later years. Dag Erik Asbjørnsen reviewing ''Uno'' in ''Scented gardens of the mind'' said: "The secrets behind the great success of this album are magnificent songwriting and musicianship, inventive instrumental ideas (often with references to classical music) and the consistent atmosphere throughout the album." Jerry Lucky in ''The progressive rock files'' said: "A sound that is reminiscent of their contemporaries Banco and Semiramis only a little spicier sounding." Augusto Croce in ''Italian prog'' ...

Progressive Rock
Progressive rock (shortened as prog rock or simply prog) is a broad genre of rock music that primarily developed in the United Kingdom through the mid- to late 1960s, peaking in the early-to-mid-1970s. Initially termed " progressive pop", the style emerged from psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop or rock traditions in favour of instrumental and compositional techniques more commonly associated with jazz, folk, or classical music, while retaining the instrumentation typical of rock music. Additional elements contributed to its " progressive" label: lyrics were more poetic, technology was harnessed for new sounds, music approached the condition of " art", and the studio, rather than the stage, became the focus of musical activity, which often involved creating music for listening rather than dancing. Progressive rock includes a fusion of styles, approaches and genres, and tends to be diverse and eclectic. Progressive rock is often associated with long solos, exte ...
