Only one release from this group, databased here.
There are not many reviews online, but curiously it was considered an out of the ballpark high priority release from cd reissue back in the day, to my utter shock since to my ears it's relatively average psych music, not really prog at all with very little dissonance, creativity, elaborate arrangements, abrupt changes, etc. You can read the old review here. From rateyourmusic:
For quick reference, I'd say Carpineta tracks closest to Canzoniere del Lazio at the end of their storied career (Morra 1978, Miradas). That is - at their most progressive! Mid 70s Area also deserves a shout out, as well as artists as disparate as Gramigna, Franco Battiato, and even Aktuala. For my tastes, Carpineta surpasses all of them. Yea, it's THAT good.
Of course you can be the final arbiters for that. However I note the averaged rating from those who heard it is 3.5, which sounds right to me. Note that the numbers are all over the place, from less than 2 to 5, showing it's quite disliked too.
Last track, curiously called Carpineta too, gives you a basic idea:

Also, note the comment left by one of the musicians of the amazing one-off Finnish band called Manogurgeil. They are preparing a second release.
