I think the general opinion is that the first three Banco albums are the best (Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Darwin! and Io Sono Nato Libero. My favourite Banco album thus far is Darwin!
 
Also for Le Orme you get mostly quite similar answers: their 4th, 5th and 6th album, respectively Uomo Di Pezza, Felona E Sorona and Contrappunti are generally considered their best, while a lot of people also like their 3rd album, Collage, a lot. My personal favourite is Contrappunti.

Listen to the man, he knows what he's talking about.

Also for Le Orme, try Collage. It's pleasant.

I'll have to echo suggestions for "Uomo di Pezza" and "Darwin." Those are my favorites by each of these bands. However, you can't go wrong with Banco's debut and "Felona e Serona." All great albums, and good places to start. If you are interested in these bands, you also must get something from Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM). "Per Un Amico" and "Storia di Un Minuto" are must haves.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:29:19 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43995&PID=2781599#2781599 Banco and Le Orme : Originally posted by zafrethhello... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43995&PID=2781575#2781575 Author: micky

I think you should start with their debut albums and then follow the discography.

LE ORME - "Uomo Di Pezza" 1972
BANCO - "Io Sono Nato Libero" 1973

Io Sono Nato Libero is an excellent album, very Gentle Giantesque, the "dakest" they can get.
 
I can't stand Le Orme.

I too agree that Uomo di Pezza is your best Le Orme bet based on what you've said... Then get Felona e Sorona, Contrappunti and Collage.   Contrappunti is my particular favourite Le Orme album.

As for Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, my favourite is the first, but I'd sooner recommend Darwin! Then Io Sono Nato Libero.

And Osanna and Metamorphosi are terrific.  For dark, Jacula's a good one.

I agree with Paloz, Uomo di Pezza most likely fits your description best, you'll love the track La Porta Chiusa...and as I said in the other thread, Felona e Sorona is another essential release with Collage (1971) and Contrappunti (1974) following behind once you digest the first two.  I'm less familiar with Banco's albums, but the first three are widely considered the best, so get whichever of these you can find.
 
If you end up liking these two groups, I would highly recommend Osanna and Metamorphosi as your next stops.
 
Cheers

If you want the best Le Orme ever (without all that dark style) you have to listen to Uomo di Pezza, one of my favourite albums.

You won't find another album like it, even if also Collage and Felona e Sorona are really good.
Believe me.
(For Banco take Darwin, but the first is also amazing)

If you want to buy only one CD, then get Darwin from BANCO and Felona e Sorona from LE ORME.
Actually, you can't go wrong with both bands' '70 releases; moreover, LE ORME last three albums are amongs their best (check out "Il Fiume", "Elementi" and "L'infinito") and BANCO's last 5 releases, all of them recorded live at various points in time, are essentials!
