Il Cerchio d'Oro, from Savona, only released three singles at the end of their career, that had begun in 1974.
Their beginnings were as one of the many symphonic oriented bands active in their area, with a strong influence by Le Orme. In fact their surviving recordings even include some early tracks played as a trio of keyboards/bass/drums.Unfortunately they couldn't manage to get a recording deal while still in their progressive years, and their only record releases are three singles, issued between 1977 and 1979, in a very commercial style. Two posthumous releases are useful to know this group, a 1999 CD by Mellow, with 12 tracks recorded around 1976, including their first single Quattro mura, and three later tracks in an almost disco-style.
Much better is the recent LP La quadratura del cerchio, issued in 2005, that contains 9 unreleased recordings, some of which are covers of tracks by Le Orme, New Trolls, The Trip, along with some originals, and though they come from rehearsal tapes, they show good quality and arrangements. After 25 years of silence the group found again the motivating force to start again playing with the original line up; hence they conceived the idea to write a concept album in the italian prog style mainly influenced by groups like Le Orme, New Trolls, Trip, Osanna, Il Balletto di Bronzo. The definitive title is IL VIAGGIO DI COLOMBO; the tracks don't tell the story of the discovery of the new continent but the one of a journey, wished, searched for, and conquered, a hard travel
aggravated by the fear of the unknown. It's a metaphor of every man's life, with his projects, disappointments, satisfactions of reaching the marks which often become the starting points to another journey. The spring of it all is the wish of knowledge, of discovery, to have a project and trying to accomplish it even if we eventually find out that the targets aren't what we expected at first.
