«A trio formed in Florence in the early 70's by keyboardist
Vincenzo Coccimiglio
along with bass player
Agostino "Tino" Nobile
, that had previously played in Noi Tre , a legendary band that also included guitarists
Franco Falsini
of Sensations' Fix and
Paolo Tofani
that was in Area and later known as
Electric Frankenstein
. After trying various drummers, they found a suitable one in
Giorgio Sorano
and Triade was born. Signed to the Derby label, the group only released an album and a single in 1973, and had a good live activity supporting the likes of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso and Premiata Forneria Marconi and even playing some dates on their own (like a couple of memorable concerts at Pierlombardo in Milan).»
«1998: La storia di Sabazio includes a totally instrumental first side with strong classical influences (much in the Emerson Lake and Palmer direction) and a three-track second side with vocal parts, the result is a good album but a bit disjointed and not completely representative of the genre. The album was the result of the different tastes of the two composers, first side being almost completely composed by Coccimiglio, while the second side (that's sometimes compared with Le Orme ) was more song-oriented and composed by Nobile. Two tracks from this vocal second side, Caro fratello and 1998, with very good acoustic guitar playing, were also released on single.»
«The group disbanded not long after the album release, due to some internal friction and little interest by their management. Both Coccimiglio and Nobile have then remained in the music biz, playing around the world for years.Vincenzo Coccimiglio has also been a teacher in Music Studies and a composer, having released many solo projects in the electronic music field. He sadly passed away in 2012.»
