The story of "The Badge" was born in the late 60s and is spread in all the years 70. This group of friends runs to the north of Italy with a music heavily inspired by New Trolls Concerto Grosso or footprints Felona and Sorona but also the best British band of the period. Angelo Isaiah, founding member and keyboardist composer, wrote most of this album that live gathered acclaim. And here we are that after playing in many bands and different situations, even without ever disband the group, the four "boys" forty years after he decided to enter the studio and record the disc. A small masterpiece vintage, with three long suites, and the classic sound of the time. Classical inspirations drawn from the masterpieces of classical music are intertwined with a sound harder, poetic moments, thanks to the inspired texts from literature, are mixed with instrumental where the intertwining of keyboards and guitars, transport us back in the times and memories. A disc definitely for fans of Prog 70 years but can do good to those who want to approach the "cultured" music in general. A gem, a dangerous relationship ....
