Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is the debut studio album by the Italian progressive rock band Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (also known as Banco or BdMS). This is an amazing first effort, that for me is superior to the debuts of any of their more famous British colleagues. The voice of charismatic lead singer Francesco Di Giacomo takes some time to adjust to, but the compositions are strong, the playing excellent, and that he sings in Italian is a clear plus for me. The album is highly rated in the prog community, even though their next two efforts score even higher. I'd like to single out two tracks, the epics Metamorfosi and Il Giardino Del Mago, which together make up for more than 70% of the playing time.
