Sensation's Fix - Fragments Of Light - 1974

SENSATIONS' FIX was active from 1974-1977. The founding members include Italians FRANCO FALSINI on guitar and Richard Ursillo on bass (formerly of CAMPO DI MARTE), and American Keith Edwards on drums. The trio was based in Florence and produced and released their own albums, releasing three in 1974 (the promotional self-titled debut, "Fragments of Light" and "Portable Madness"). In 1976 keyboardist Stephen Head joined, and the group released "Finest Finger", which included more vocal parts, shorter songs, and more accessible sounds. The direction of the band continued toward a more commercial approach with subsequent releases (Progarchives).
