Corría el año 1973 en Italia. Osanna , una de las grandes exponentes del hard prog italiano, estaba a punto de lanzar su gran álbum, "Palepoli". Este disco representaría la cúspide de la creatividad sonora de Osanna, pero este momento épico para la banda la llevaría a su disolución, debido a las tormentosas relaciones entre sus miembros. Así, mientras seguían produciendo su próximo álbum, "Lanscape of Life", en 1974, el fin de Osanna se hizo oficial. Danilo Rustici, el excepcional guitarrista, junto con el excelente flautista y saxofonista Elio D'Anna, se marcharon a Inglaterra para formar la banda Uno, que, también en 1974, grabaría su único álbum titulado "Uno", mientras que Lino Vairetti y Massimo Guarino revitalizaron la banda Città Frontale, esta vez con nuevos miembros, publicando el álbum "El Tor" en 1975.

The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
