The Italian Prog Appreciation den

I would like to report the group "Quella Vecchia Locanda", their first self-titled album (from 1972)is beautiful!

Altare T. go sligthly in the direction of bands like Area or D.e.M.
but stay original.

This Album was one of my faves of the last year. I also liked the debut
album very much, but it is somewhat different.

The debut was less avant jazz and had some more hard - blues rock elements, which made it easier to digest. But both albums are great,
and I think it's a good thing to have some development.

It looks like there is a solo Album by the vocalist also, I coudn't find it yet (but there are some Clips on Youtube)

From the debut:

Yes, Pierre! I heard the music first and thought `Wow, I like this!', and then those strong vocals come in, very intimidating and reckless!

It's a strange one, eh fellas? I just bought it blind from one of Greg Walker's most recent updates, but for some reason, Jim, I had the feeling you reviewed their previous album? I might have the wrong band altogether?

Sagi, I'll try and whip up a review for it over the next couple of days, so you can find out more about it. I loved that it still had these punchy little outbursts, quite wild and unpredictable!

That was awesome Michael!  

(cept the English vox)

Still I enjoyed it very much

A splendid album,Jimmy, naive and inspired, for adults and children. 

Papillon was the second RPI's album I bought. 

Jim....yep....that's right outside my back window a month or so ago.  The birds could just walk right up to the feeder without even flapping their wings.  Not that there's too  many around.  It was a brutal winter, cold and tons of snow.  But its melting good now. 

Makes driving an adventure, that's for sure.
