FELONA E SORONA

Felona e Sorona is a "concept album", a long suite that tells the story of two planets. The lyrics are very poetic and I think you have to understand their meaning to completely enjoy this album. Anyway, if you can't understand Italian, I think it's useful to remember that Peter Hammill, the leader of Van Der Graaf Generator, made an interesting translation of the lyrics in 1973 (very far from literary, indeed) and that you can find them on the official website of this band (Le Orme are still active and surprisingly fresh on stage!). The music on this album is powerful, with great drums, keyboards and bass work (but I find the simple acoustic guitar breaks remarkable as well), which supports the lyrics and the peculiar voice of the singer and bass player, Aldo Tagliapietra, in a wonderful way. I think this album is one of the best releases of the Italian progressive - rock movement in the seventies: it's absolutely magnificent and is still performed in concert (often the band plays the whole of it!). Try it, it's worth listening to.
