A minor band from Bergamo, founded in 1978 from the
ashes of Dalton by drummer Locatelli, that only released an album in 1980.
La scimmia sulla schiena del re is a short eight-track album with the
usual classical influences and some Gentle Giant-inspired sounds and rhythm
changes. Half of the tracks are instrumental with the opening Preludio in D one
of the best cuts.
Unfortunately there was no more interest in progressive music when the album came out and it had a limited distribution causing the band to split soon after.

Hard to find, La scimmia sulla schiena del re
was issued on the small IAF label that had also produced the second album Argitari
by Dalton, and had a very limited local distribution. It came with a cheap
single cover.
The album was reissued for the first time on vinyl in 2016.
No counterfeits nor foreign issues exist.
