"This band included Tony Tartarini (vocals), Carlo Bordini (drums, he later started a captivating project with Rustichelli) and three musicians who later founded GOBLIN: Claudio Simonetti (keyboards), Massimo Morante (electric guitar) and Fabio Pignatelli (bass). The music on CHERRY FIVE's eponymous album is very YES-oriented (like DRUID, ENGLAND or MIRTHRANDIR) but the keyboards sound more virtuosic.The album "Cherry Five" ('75) is a real treat for all progrock lovers: strong and fluent compositions, very melodic and flowing with many good ideas. The emphasis is on the keyboards (Hammond organ and vintage synthesizers), especially the "Tronmaniacs" will be delighted! This is one of the gems of Italian progrock from the Seventies, a bit overlooked due to the attention for PFM, Le ORME, BANCO and GOBLIN." - ProgArchives

Great choice! This is a really EXCELLENT record. Might even make it into many top-100-of-all-time lists for progressive rock albums. The influence of YES is abundant, but the band achieves its own unique and cohesive distinct sound (and the lead vocals aren't Anderson-like at all) with powerfully arranged, exciting, energizing & uplifting melodic music with lots of mellotron & other keys. If that sounds good to anyone, I highly recommend checking this out!
