Osanna, especiall Palepoli, my love. Heart


Yeah! Big smile Superb album, a top ten of all time prog releases for me
Never heard Palepoli, i love their Milano Calibro 9 and L'UomoThumbs Up


Woah! Really? That's very cool - you might have a treat ahead of you then!

For me, it's masterful.

All Italian vocals (as Lino is stronger in his native tongue it's a big plus for the vocal lines) and combining the best of both those other great albums (Milano & L'Uomo) - some parts of the 2 long pieces read almost like an extended version of  'Non sei vissuto mai'.  They cover a bit of ground and produce a fairly aggressive but intricate album.

1. Cardiacs

then in really no order:

King Crimson 
Secret Chiefs 3
Captain Beefheart
The Residents
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Don Caballero 
Deathspell Omega (I think)
Fred Frith
John Zorn

I'll probably be bummed out that I forgot one in a few seconds.

In no particular order:

- Between the Buried and Me
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor
