 Topic: RPI. One and only one !
Posted: October 23 2016 at 15:08 |
Absolutely. I would applause a vote for some works by Ennio Morricone. 
BTW. This, for me, is a RPI's album. Maybe I'm wrong.

A lot of my actual italian favorites falls outside the so-called RPI-genre (Dedalus, Picchio Dal Pozzo and Aktualas debuts, Sensational Fix - Portable Madness, Pierrot Lunaire - Gudrun, Perigeo - Genealogia... to name some of them) so is any kind of italian favorite progalbum ok or just RPI?
(To my ears Area falls outside as well, but I see they they've been moved to RPI from jazz fusion) |
Well it's not my thread, but if Area is RPI then that means anything Italian can on some point of view be RPI, 'cos they got as far out as anyone did...or if they didn't, please tell me what was further out so I can hear it! Plus the thread is more interesting if it's more inclusive, I reckon.
Dedalus, Aktuala and Picchio dal Pozzo are certainly the bees knees as far as I'm concerned. The other albums I haven't heard yet

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Some of you probably would kill me, but for the second album that i would save from the fire would be or Egonon - Risveglio or Il Paradiso Degli Orchi - Il Corponauta, i haven't listened to so much beautiful and original music like in these two.

I know what you mean about that mysterious vibe.
Mind you when it comes to the lyrics pretty much all RPI is mysterious to me. For all I know Franco Battiato could be singing about blue and purple space rabbits doing battle over a cosmic carrot.

As for the actual question, any of my likely choices were already picked, in reality it's probably between Ys and one of the first four Area studio albums (though don't ask which one!).
If I had to choose something that wasn't already mentioned, maybe Il Paese dei Balocchi, I'm pretty fond of that one.

Hold on a second - what's wrong with Event '76?  
Nahh don't answer that. I hear they use it as part of an interrogation program in Uzbekistan.

A little fast and loose with the rules there, Mr Progman! Nice collection though - especially if you take out Event '76, use it as a frisbee, and replace with e.g. the 1978 album.

Impossible  I'd have to chose between Melos, Pollution, Anima Latina (very nice pick Pierre), Sulle Corde di Aires, Crac! and a couple ones I'm forgetting right this minute.
