Story & Background
"Ad Gloriam", Le Orme's second effort, pressed in 1969 by CAR Juke Box, represents a crucial sonic and visual bridge between their beat roots and future progressive rock. The original cover of this first pressing, often a cult object among collectors, is a perfect mirror of the era's psychedelic transition. Revealing bold and surreal graphics, with images of the band members distorted into a kaleidoscope of evocative colours and shapes, it anticipated the more complex and visionary sounds contained within the grooves. The album itself, while retaining beat remnants, already dared to explore more layered arrangements and lysergic atmospheres, shaping a unique sound for Italy at the end of the decade. This primordial edition is not just a record, but a historical document of the stylistic evolution of a band that would later define Italian progressive, making it an indispensable piece for the expert.
