Contaminazione is the third studio album by the Italian rock group Il Rovescio della Medaglia. It is their only progressive rock album (not counting their remake of this album in English two years later), and it is widely recognized as one of the highlights of the flourishing Italian prog scene of the seventies. The album is inspired by Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier and incorporates many themes from that masterpiece and other Bach works. In general, I'm not a big fan of this type of fusion and many famous examples don't work for me (like ELP and Ekseption). However, this particular one is exceptionally well done, with a synthesizer-rich rock sound and vocals in Italian.
