Palepoli is a progressive rock album released in 1973 by the Italian band Osanna, widely considered amongst the best in the Italian progressive rock genre. [2]
Palepolis was the name of the pre-Greek settlement of Naples, the city from which the band members originated. The album shows a wild mix of progressive and Neapolitan-Mediterranean influences. The lyrics, composed by vocalist Lino Vairetti, mix social themes with mythological and mystic ones.
The Fonit Cetra CD version of the album (in 1980) has "Stanza Città", the second track of the LP, put at the very end of "Oro Caldo", while the second track of the CD is not the real "Stanza Città" but a rehash of the beginning of "Oro Caldo" intertwined with a reversed track ("There will be time" from "Milano Calibro 9").
