And this one too, Sag. In my top 10 for years, but maybe I'm the only one.
 Somewhere between Gudrun and Stormy Six.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGINW3SpOMk There's another clip of a funny song on youtube, but none of the essential tracks. And there many magnificences on that unknown album. |

Speaking of which, anyone who's into Gudrun should check out the band's keyboard player Arturo Stalteri, his debut album is pretty close to what's happening on Gudrun.
And thanks again to Pierre for bringing this album to my attention, Jim maybe you know this obscure gem? Here's a peep...

Both are excellent. And that is a Pierrot who says that.

Thank you, gentlemen!
Well, Sagi, it's listed on the Archives under Prog Folk, and yes, it does have many folky/acoustic moments, but it's also very...wild, energetic, more rocking as well! Nice classical moments too - in other words, SO much more that a simple folk album! I'm going to stick to this one for a few more days, Jim, then switch over to `Gudrun' as well. I've neglected them both for so many years on my shelf

Me too. I can't say I know every second of it, I was always focusing on Gudrun. I remember it was good though, much less experimental than the next one and maybe a little more folky and acoustic? |

I need to hear that one again Michael......I'm not too familiar with it. But I am a big fan of their next album.

OK, does anybody else just adore this album as much as I do?
 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=2906 So many subtle little details all throughout it, just beautiful stuff, very unpredictable with lots of variety as well. Now the question is...which is better, the debut or the second album?

One of my favourite italian Prog Albums of the last years. I hope they will release their second Album soon wich will feature Craig Blundell (Frost*, Pendragon) Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) and Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree).

After procrastinating for about 2 years, for some unknown reason, I finally got GRAN TURISMO VELOCE - Di Carne, Di Anima.
What in the world was I waiting for! This is excellent!

I only heard it once (which is never enough), but was not particularly impressed. It did not sound as good as either of their previous albums, and I did not care too much for the synth's somewhat overbearing presence. That said, I'll have to listen to it at least another couple of times to be able to judge. |

How does the latest La Coscienza di Zeno "La Notte Anche Di Giorno" compare with the other two?
Anyone heard? |

EARLY ITALIAN PROG,POPSIKE,HARD SINGLES
Here is something Wallace posted a whiles back at Hoffman. But it is more apropos on this forum. In six parts: PINO SCOTTO PULSAR - MAN ON THE ROAD '79 good hardrock alla Canadian group Charlee, harmonica, electric guitar going from channel to channel ACID GROUP - ADORATION DE LA TERRE '76 instrumental wailing freak-out, sounds like influenced by heavier side of Kraut popol Vuh! MUSIC OPERATION -LOOK AROUND PT 1&2 top track! vocals at start remind me of Hungarian band Syrius. really good stuff, fast electric guitar, violin... GOLDENMEN dark acid organ, this is Statale 16. Mastermen might recall a lp where Statale 16 was on one side ,another band on the other. AMLETI -AURORA -GIOIA DE VIVRE another great band, reminds of early L'Orme, good vocalist & keysplayer (organ & synth) SENSAZIONI - IL VIAGGO orlroight! LYDIA E GLI HELLUA XENIUM - GUAI A VOI - INVOCATION '73 female vvocalist prog, its unforgivable that so many of these top singles never landed a lp contract for these bands PARADISO DI ROBOTS - SAME killer! UT - TRANSMIGAZIONE '74 instrumental prog starts off with haunting reverb-ed flute and acoustic guitar(??) sounding like harp, then organ and the full shebang BLUE SHARKS - A WATT TOO MUCH '72 oh I dont know: like funky instro blend of Spencer Davis Group & Sly & Family Stone maybe ESCALION - CIVILIA killer! SBRANCO E LE PURGHE ELETTRICH -PROVINO INEDITO yeah! I VERMI - COLLINA PT 1&2 organ at the beginning reminds of Triumverat's first lp "Mediterranean Tales" or the Orme "Collage" CIRCUS 2000 - la STREGA (witch) '70 this band, of course, did make it to lp. two lps in fact ROBERTO RIGHINI - MONDO MALATO -NON ERA UN SOGNO '71 killer! THEODORO RE DEI POETI - PREPARATI BAMBINA killer! |

Beautiful! Thanks Hellogoodbye
, really don't know the last time I listened to this great singer (and very few times tbh), unfortunately almost totally forgotten here in her homeland (she is brasilian and from Rio I guess), almost the only thing I occasionaly heard about her in my whole life - perhaps because I was born in 1963 - is about her damn tragical way of passing away... go figure that. |

Hey thanks for the suggestions Raff!
 Been listening on Youtube to La Coscienza Di Zeno s/t (2011), awesome how it seems that in RPI the symphonic vein will always be found at varied extents... But what most excited me from it was that typical passionate mediterranean atmosphere that I found for example in "Il Basilico" - what a beautiful music! "Il Fattore Precipitante" lovely too, some damn good guitar melodies right there, "Un Insolito Baratto Alchemico" is so damn good too... that organ gives it and extra beauty, another great discovery this album! "Grazie mille!"Edited by Rick Robson - February 03 2015 at 04:53 |

the new La Coscienza di Zeno album is already out. Luca Scherani will also have a new solo Album this year and there will be also a new Höstsonaten Album. He also has reformed his old band Trama who will again have a new album out. Busy guy! The Periplo Album is worth a listen, folky chamber rock, really nice.
