Unfortunately, the only way not to have big-name bands run away with a poll is to select their worst album, or at least one that's not very highly rated. This was what happened with Genesis and Pink Floyd in the first half of the contest. If you choose albums that are recognized by the majority as very strong efforts, the lesser-known acts will stand no chance whatsoever.

Welcome to the Present train, fantastic band, creating atmospheric Avant Chamber Rock with an emphasis on electric guitar. One of my favorite bands. Going to see them again at RIO in Sept, stoked.

Thanks Nogbad and Micky!
 
'Curiosity killed the cat' LOL, no idea what I was missing here man.... and so exciting is the discovering of a completely new music like this... Big smile 
I like pretty much when these such an interesting changes happen to the music I'm used to listen to everyday.
 
Yeah I'm loving too that kind of more heavy beat that I felt on Present, well I'm comparing just to the other few I recently knew from Aranis and Univers Zero so far, which means nothing about these such a prolific bands to dig into.

I think this one is the toughest group for me. I picked Le Orme early on but man four out of the four are five star albums in my opinion.

yeah...  I agree John..  it was a rough one. I cried out in pain when I saw where my beloved favorite fell in the draw. D.O.A it was. 

So pulling the sheet over Battiato's album.. 

Le Orme it is!!!

Present is the best out of these albums. I can't believe they won't be advancing...

It seems quite sure that neither Present nor Battiato will be advancing - unless a miracle happens - so I can cast my vote for my fellow countryman Battiato's magnificent third album.

hahahha..  miracle?  I think it needs something greater than that... perhaps if I bussed in all the people in real life I've exposed to the album. Remember that guy at the bar across the street I converted.. even gave him the extra copy I had of the album.  Bars, ditches, customers in 5 million dollar homes, customers in roach infested dives, hot women in offices.  All have discovered the magic and sheer beauty of the album through the big Mick.

Doesn't much matter, foregone conclusion so it's ....... Supertramp ..... Yay !!.

Settle Mickey.

To be honest I really loved Crime when it first came out and it still does the business today but it simply is not in the same league as Battiato.

Le Orme, Uomo di pezza.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

nice Clap... you get Micky bonus for that man...  you get a future free get out jail 'vote for Camel' micky-mulligan for that wisdom.

definitely not the same league... in a genre of copy-cats who wear their influences on their sleeve.. no album I've ever heard sounds anything like that album.  Part Krautrock.. part RPI.... part North-African.

amazing stuff man.. and yeah.. compared to that.... the current leader sounds like a Celine Dion album.  well done..great album as it is... but flaccid musically...

For those who doesn't know: Micky got lovesick for Sulle Corde di Aries. Therefore he's not neutral neither full-clear-headed in his judgement.

Actually, the face on the album's cover is Micky's (oh yeah, he's got the extra-eye too... lucky him!Big smile).
