Sithonia are another early Italian styled band with modern equipment who do a job better than usual. The roots of this music lay in the English progressive rock 1970-1974 and in the Italian rock of the same years with elements of traditional music, Italian folk songs and jazz atmosphere. Their music is definitely influenced by the 1970's Genesis and probably some of their Italian predecessors like Premiata Forneria Marconi. The result is a personal sound marked by simple touching melodies and swift changes heavy or symphonic. The musicanship is very good and full of the dynamics and surprises that characterizes Italian music.
