Pierre, I've been listening to it in the car every day into work now, and I'm really suprised by the variety on it. You've got the psychedelic moments, the gloomy gothic piano/classical parts, the triumphant final track, the noisy instrumental stuff! A great album! ![]() Maybe give that on a try next, Jim! Certainly pick `Contrappunti' over `Smogmagica'! More or less a dud, even though the opening track will really get your hopes up! It's really strong, and tricks you into thinking the whole album will be amazing! Pretty sure that one had a really inappropriate American guitairist brought in as well, so out of place! That final bluesy/boogie track - what the hell?! Oh, and I never understand why people think that `Laserium Floyd' track sounds like Pink Floyd - NOT EVEN CLOSE lol! Maybe Alan Parsons Project at best! ![]() Phew, sorry, rant over! Go `Contrappunti'! |

Just popping in to say that I've tried listening to the Goad album I have, 'In The House Of Dark Shining Dreams', and I just can't 'get it'. To me, it's complete rubbish - I can't say anything good about it - is it me ?? The production is murky, the playing is basic and sloppy at that, and the guy who sings sounds like he's on the verge of dying. The tri-fold LP packaging is the only positive thing about it......

Well, it's like a very short interlude track, like maybe 3 and a bit minutes! It's full of quite somber piano that creates a very grey and moody atmosphere. Lots of moody classical drama in the 70's Italian stuff, Nick! Never bothered with any Goad albums, Tom! But there's plenty of other good darker Italian albums on the Black Widow label worth checking out! |

Compared to the others Stormy Six masterpieces, this one, with its eighties bass and drums, may seem weaker. But to listen again to it today, we realize how much it draws the outlines of modern RPI .

^^ hello Tom. :)
My question for the den is, have anyone here had the pleasure of listening to the RPI group DPERD? They have 3 albums at the moment and all are good. I highly recommend their latest addition KORE. Great dual vocals (both Male and female) and is sung in Italiano, not English which I like. The instrumentation is both heavy and soft with a pretty eclectic mix of instruments used. Anyway. I think DPERD will please a lot of you. Just thought I'd share. :) |

Boy Michael. More and more you are inspiring to buy the 11 disc box set of Le Orme's studio release collection. I'm almost at my breaking point! Lol. :) |

I've thought about getting that myself, Nick! I've got a screwy mix of some of their stuff on LP, some of it on CD and it kind of bugs me lol! I demand consistency and symetry! ![]() I can't recall the exact albums the box set contains, but the majority of them are all superb! ![]() |

That albums sounds pretty superb to me, Pierre. The 80's sound is not quite as dated as I expected, and I definately detected quite a similar sound to many modern RPI works! ![]() |

I never had the chance to explore more Le Orme, I have only two albums. Your comments are inspiring Michael, I'll see what's available in my record store.

I would not recommend the 11CD Le Orme box. The sound is highly compressed and lacks the dynamic quality of the originals.
The single Philips CDs should still be plentiful and available at a reasonable price. No self-respecting RPI fanatic should be without at least Collage, Uomo di Pezza, Felona e Sorona, and Contrappunti. Essential!!!
