Some reviewers wrote about awful vocals but in my opinion these are emotional and I have no problem at all to listen to these vocals, it matches perfectly with the great atmosphere on the album!

opera prima

good album in my opinion, maybe not at the level of the italian best, but still excellent

i've got a japanese release as a gift from a friend who lives in the states!

but what do you think of the vocals in this album? powerful, but very rough and not alwats well in tune i think...

I pass it the album later on and he was so pleased with this album that he called me and say that the album was one of the best of the italian scene.It's amazing how the band sound full even with only keyboards and drums.It's a very nice discovery.

Indeed, an excellent discovery!

Dead

This is Sorrenti's disco music! Avoid that!

Just listen only to the first three releases.

Thanks ANDREW for the recommendations.

 

Erik, if you want to listen to Sorrenti, I tell that his unique prog material is represented by his first three release. The best of them is the first "Aria" (recently remastered).

He is not a symphonic-prog artist. Maybe he could be included in the Avant-prog subgenre.

BTW, Alan Sorrenti is told to be "the man who eat the moog"! That's why I think he would interest you!

About Riccardo Zappa, I recommend you to buy his first album "Celestion" (1978) which has been recently re-issued.

In Celestion there is the contribution of famous italian keyboardist Vince Tempera!

...anyway Alan Sorrenti "Aria" is a really great prog album!!!
For every truth even the contrary is true...

Ok, thanks Erik!!!

P.S. Andrea If you like Alan Sorrenti's "Aria", i recommend you "La Finestra Dentro" by Juri Camisasca (1974). In this album Franco Battiato played his synthesizer VCS-3 and Lino Vaccina played percussions.

His single Himalaya / Un Fiume Di Luce (1975) is worth mentioning.

Hello Andrea and Andrew.

Good to notice the two Italian A's shoulder to shoulder on this thread  ! I don't know Alan Sorrenti and Ricardo Zappa, I am curious to their music because you are so enthousiastic. I will ask my friend from Progwalhalla to order their best work.

By the way, in Hollanditalian grazie is grazi ... !

"Opera Prima" is a fantastic record, where the keyboards are "pushed" all the time, reminding to METAMORFOSI's "Inferno". Unfortunately it is one of the most underrated works of the italian progressive scene. A gem to re-discover absolutely !!!

Great work Andrea!
