Album of the Day

Darwin!, by Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (1972): Last week we learned that the theory of evolution was really just religious dogma in disguise, specifically the "alternate 'creation scenario' of the Pharisee Religion." I suppose that makes Darwin! part of the global plot, with it's opening epic "L'evoluzione." If this whole thing is a Da Vinci Code style plot, maybe this Italian prog classic is the stand in for the Mona Lisa. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just a solid hunk of classic symphonic prog. For the record, my opinion of the album has improved considerably since I wrote the review at Ground and Sky.
