The only album by Rocky's Filj is one of the few Italian progressive rock albums not to have found its way to CD format as of this writing. And yes, at 1973, this was a release right in the thick of the peak, being neither an album predating PFM and Banco but rather being informed, not so much as influenced, by both. Rocky's Filj had a very prominent vocalist, an individual so dominant that one's enjoyment of the album probably rests on how much one can tolerate him. Rocky's Filj don't go for the big symphonic sound, at least in terms of a prog sort of thing, although the prevalence of larger ensembles to back up the music here does give it a sort of big band jazz type of feel. Storie di Uomini e Non consists of five pieces of music, most elaborate and lengthy with plenty of fusion influences. Instrumentally, the primary leads are sax and guitar, and there are a lot of moments where the themes are doubled by both in a manner similar to that of Osanna's early period. The music even has room to jam, where the bassist will set up a riff and give the chance for some solos over the top, including both sax and flute. However, these instrumental segments, as inspired as they are, don't last for long before another full ensemble or vocal segment takes their place. The rather scattershot method of stringing together disparate segments of music together reminds me of Pholas Dactylus, particularly in that it has all the elements to make an interesting album while failing to do so. In fact if one wanted to point to an Italian progressive rock album that should have worked, but didn't, this is perhaps the prime example. It's not to say there isn't anything worthwhile here, but in a year of albums like Io Sono Nato Libero, Per un Amico, Palepoli, Arbeit Macht Frei, Zarathustra, Dedicato a Frazz, and Vietato ai Minori di 18 Anni?, it's no surprise at all that this one has been virtually forgotten.
