Procol Harum - Procol Harum

0

21 June 2013 by

Procol Harum is the self-titled debut studio album by English rock band Procol Harum. The work is proposed immediately to the listener with a Hammond organ sound characterized by Fisher, from electric guitar Trower, from the piano of Brooker (vocalist and author of almost the entire repertoire) and especially by the use of classical music to compose songs from the sounds epic and poignant. Who does not remember "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" a gentle chorus, which draws a melancholy song and catchy at the same time, the beautiful "Homburg" an inspired marriage of R & B and pop rock classic cut. In conclusion, the album is enjoyable because it manages to combine pop melodies with arrangements typically redundant and majestic, and also confirms the Procol Harum as the founders of progressive rock that we love so much.
For Italians:
Procol Harum è l'omonimo album di debutto dalla rock band inglese Procol Harum. L'opera si propone subito all'ascoltatore con un sound caratterizzato dall'organo Hammond di Fisher, dalla chitarra elettrica di Trower, dal piano di Brooker (vocalist e autore di quasi tutto il repertorio) e soprattutto dall'utilizzo della musica classica per comporre brani dalle sonorità epiche e struggenti. Chi non ricorda "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" un ritornello delicato, che disegna una canzone malinconica e allo stesso tempo accattivante, la bellissima "Homburg" un ispirato matrimonio di R&B e pop rock di taglio classico. In conclusione l'album risulta godibilissimo in quanto riesce ad unire melodie tipicamente pop con arrangiamenti ridondanti e maestosi ed inoltre conferma i Procol Harum come i capostipiti del progressive rock che tanto amiamo.
