''Caronte'' (''Charon'') is the second album released by the Italian progressive rock band The Trip, in 1971. It is a concept album based on the Charon character from Dante's ''Divine Comedy'', recast as a metaphor of conformism; Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin are mentioned, respectively in songs ''Ultima ora e ode a Jimi Hendrix'' ("The last hour and ode to Jimi Hendrix") and ''Little Janie'', as victims of a conformist society. ''Caronte'' was the most successful release of the band. With respect to their previous, debut album, which was mostly blues-oriented, ''Caronte'' was a major drift towards British-style progressive rock, with obvious influences from King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and, to some extent, Pink Floyd. Joe Vescovi, keyboardist and leader of the band, was at the time a self-proclaimed imitator of Keith Emerson. The cover art from the album included drawings by Gustave Doré. ==Personnel== * Billy Gray - electric guitar * Arvid Andersen - bass guitar, vocals * Pino Sinnone - drums * Joe Vescovi - keyboards, vocals 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caronte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
