A question for Jim, Todd or Andrea : I have the occasion to buy for almost nothing the Vinyl Magic Edition of the I Giganti album : Terra in bocca (demos plus bonus track). Can I buy this VM edition or do I have to look for the Akarma edition ? Thanks.

Pierre, both VM editions of Terra in Bocca are wonderful, meaning the demo and the finished versions. They both have the same packaging (at least mine do), even the disc labels are the same, and so you can only tell the different versions by the times of the songs. I don't have the Akarma version, but I would guess that the VM sounds better (they usually do). I also have the Japanese King version, and it sounds just like the full VM version (with the orchestral introduction).
Grab it!

Thanks Florence is wonderful, not just for all the art, but beautiful in a different way than Rome, the sunsets off the pink and green near the Duomo is amazing. If you can go, make sure you visit the Academia to see Michelangelo's David - it's awe-inspiring when seen 'in the flesh' |

Todd, Pierre,
I have the Akarma version of Terra in Bocca. I'll play it again and report back on the sound. It's a sweet version from a packaging perspective. Heavy duty gatefold sleeve with a poster. ![]() |

Short shorts? Ok, I s'pose I can deal with it.

I knew Jim. I read it in your review of the album. Not only the beautiful Italian records are many, but in addition all editions are tempting. Poor RPI lovers.

Me too Jim. I spoke to Mats a few days ago. He's collected a bunch of new and great RPI records, but he is too busy with his store to put them on his site. Perhaps, he said to me, at the end of autumn. I hope. Hope too than this year BTF will get us out of its closets many treasures

![]() GLI ALLUMINOGENI : SCOLOPENDRA (1972) I lke this album very much. Except the short and weak third song, I find the whole album great. Sometimes It makes me think of Alphataurus for the melodies, sometimes to Le Orme's Collage for the psyche moments and the weird sounds of organ. This japanese edition has a tremendous sound |

Todd, just received the I Giganti VM edition. My god, soooo different from my SHMCD version much more symphonic. This one is more accoustic but I already love it. Thanks my friend !
