The band Preghiera di Sasso formed in 1971 in Abruzzo and were an active live band on the local scene, even taking part in some large festivals of the day. It is important to keep in mind that there are two different sets of songs present here: the vinyl '75 tracks and the bonus '72 tracks. The earlier material is more aggressive and feisty, period prog rock instrumental jamming from start to finish. You certainly can hear an affinity for Cream's approach as they attack in power-trio style with wailing electric guitar, big booming bass, and muscular drumming-with no vocals or keyboards. Here’s controlled chord progressions of "La Macchina del Tempo" displaying a lighter moment before the absolutely furious opening of "La Paura." Another good comparison would be Flea's hard rocking "Topi" album which also reveled in the pleasures of the rock jam, for the sake of it. This is just three guys losing themselves in their wailing. Things changed a bit on the 1975 tracks where gears shift towards a jazzier approach similar to what Flea did moving on to Etna I suppose. Electric piano and saxophone come into the mix and the sound quality is a bit improved.
