The Italian Prog Appreciation den - Progressive Rock Music Forum

It is something of a miracle tbh. I was not expecting to be this blown away but it seems some of the new kids on the block understands how to woo this dane.
On my second spin of Avenoth right now and it sounds better than the first, although I still would prefer a more erm subtle production.

So glad to hear it--it's such a fertile, diverse field that there will be something for every progressive fan if they keep looking.

Anything that comes from Italy is expensive.

production, shmoduction. only men can talk about that! I don't think any woman would ever complain about the production of an album. it is the music that counts, not the f.....g production!

many early prog albums (and non-prog too) were what you would call "badly produced". but I don't care at all! on the contrary; a so-called "perfect" production makes the music appear sterile. it is the little imperfections that bring music to life. this is one of the reasons why I much prefer live albums to studio albums. Friede shares my opinion, by the way

I disagree. I think a good production is something that increases the pleasure of listening to music: good music with bad production is like a dress made with wonderful fabric but badly sewn: you have a great raw material, but you could have a better finished product. Anyway... I'm a man, so I guess you are right LOL

E per tutti il dolore degli altri è un dolore a metà

Wow! Just got this CD and love it, 2 albums in one. L'Uomo and Milano Calibro 9. Since the only album by them I have or heard is Palepoli, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard these two!

I've got that exact same version too, Jim, played very often it is too....in fact, might do so right now, it's on my Ipod here at work!
