I BOOM (1973) - I BOOM.
 
A soft prog rock album, I really like. (Once again Vinyl only Disapprove)

Little is known about this mysterious group, whose only good album often changed hands for incredible prices before people started to realise it's not a real Italian 70's rarity. Even the year of recording is uncertain. Some say it is from 1974-75, and for this reason it's included here, but it seems more likely that it came out in the second half of the 80's or early 90's.
The album was printed in Canada with a German producer, the music is good organ and mellotron-led prog sung in Italian with a strong foreign accent and often incomprehensible lyrics: this is almost certainly a foreign group, probably Japanese, playing under fake Italian names, and even the incredibly high number of errors in the cover notes and lyrics confirms this impression.

Sorry man, but to be fair, I wouldn't have known had you not told me. Everything I just said to you still counts Pierre. I think you speak a very fine English, and some of the comments you make here in the den are just wonderful. Hell I even used your words, when I reviewed Aria

Thanks David. Smile The only thing I can say to explain my half-silence is that I love RPI more than I can tell.

I understand perfectly, and I am sorry for my mistake.
Even so, I don't need you to write reviews as long as you stick around here. After all it was you who lead me to discover Persimfans, which I've just gotten my hands on. Beautiful album, thanks man

You're welcome. Just read your beautifull review on Aria Clap. The following one " Come un vecchio ...." is my Sorrenti's favourite. It took me two years to learn to fly with him.

Tom Verde. Calypso. A very rare album from 1977, by a Saint Just member. Cool library jazz.

PIERO E I COTTONFIELDS (1972). Nice singer album, with a light symphonic feeling. (a CD exists)
