Sole album by this obscure group. Io uomo contains a very good progressive sound, based on mediocre lyrics on the creation of mankind (a recurring theme in many Italian prog bands' concept albums).
The eight tracks album has its best moments in Morire e non morire and the opening Caos, one of the few tracks with keyboards to the fore.
An ultrarare album, one of the rarest on Fonit- Cetra, Io uomo originally had a textured gatefold cover that included the lyrics but no details on the band.
The album was issued in the LPP series that included mostly popular music records and oddly didn't include the group name on the cover, just a mention in the liner notes in the inner gatefold. Source. www.italianprog.com
