CONTRAPPUNTI

"Contrappunti" was released in 1974 and was le ORME's sixth album (fourth prog rock album) and was the beer chaser to their masterpiece "Felona e Sorona". On "Contrappunti" a fourth and new member was added (Gian Pero Reverberi) who added additional piano and would help facilitate a transition into a slightly more "simple" music approach and slightly less symphonic sound than achieved on "Felona". In many ways "Contrappunti" actually reminds me of the 70's output of the legendary Lucio Battisti with his song based creative music. Musically Le ORME blend 70's analog keyboards with great bass and percussion interplay. I have always been a lover of Le ORME's music and regard this album in the top of my register.
