Not a real prog band, I Boom were a 60's beat band who released their only album as late as 1973.
The sound is beat inspired and like similar bands (Il Mucchio, I Raminghi) is closer to the sixties's sound than to prog atmospheres, but it's worth listening, if you can have it taped!
The opening Luce e vita, Improvvisamente notte and the long and more complex Il padre sono io with an instrumental keyboard part reminding of some 70's bands are the best moments of an album that would at least deserve a CD reissue.

 

 

LP
I Boom Smash (SM 905) 1973 single cover

 

An ultrarare and expensive album that has never been reissued in any form. No counterfeits exist.
Some of the album tracks are included, with the same musical background, on the album Rosa by Patrizio Sandrelli, also issued by Smash in 1975 and in two of his singles from 1976.
Keyboardist Saccucci released in 1981 under the name Marcello an album for New Record entitled L'amante, preceded by the single Foggy eyes/I'll sing for you issued under the name Marcello Ucci.
