New Trolls – Tempi Dispari (Reissue, Remastered) (1974)

"Tempi Dispari" (1974) is perhaps the most radical, uncompromising, and unexpected album in the New Trolls discography (released by the same lineup of Vittorio De Scalzi as the previous "Atomic System"). While "Atomic System" was a polished symphonic prog, "Tempi Dispari" was a pure instrumental experiment that took many of the band's devoted fans by surprise.

For the general public, who had expected New Trolls to follow up "Concerto Grosso," the album came as a shock. Due to its radical change of direction, the album failed to achieve the commercial success it deserved at the time.

However, among audiophiles, fans of the Canterbury scene, and collectors of complex instrumental prog, "Tempi Dispari" has since acquired cult status. This is a demonstration of the absolute peak of the New Trolls' musicians' performance and technical mastery, proving that they are capable of playing music of any complexity.
