I think that Area, PFM and RDM are three examples of the opposite that you are telling. Maybe you are confused with "La ley" ------------- Please forgive me for my crappy english! |

PFM is King Crimson's first and second album with some Genesis. Try "Electrodomésticos" instead of "La Ley". ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Surley you don't think that Quella Vecchia Locanda sounds like Locanda Delle Fate? You're not suggesting that Italians are being copycats, are you? None of the above is true. "Italians do it better" Better than you think |

... and don't forget PICCHIO DAL POZZO, PIERROT LUNAIRE, CELESTE or ARTI E MESTIERI -- what is this alleged sameness that some self-apointed Italian prog experts are talking about? |

I'm far from Italian, and understand very little of what I hear ... but I'm deeply in love with classic Italian prog now ... one of the best things is that no two bands sound alike ... and there are so many great ones ------------- "Death to Utopia!

Exactly how I feel. Italian prog is the best thing ever happened in progressive music. |

Italian prog is wonderfully varied and any prog fan who dismisses it on the grounds of foreign vocals is really doing themselves a real disservice. I really don't see all the fuss about Locanda Della Fate, though. Pretty cheesy and unoriginal if you ask me. |

Just in case, I meant "self-apointed experts on Italian prog", not "prog experts born in Italy (therefore, Italian)". |

I love Italian Prog, it captures beauty that english prog often does not, with the heavy use of flutes and acoustic instruments, and the blending of classical and folk. LOVE IT. Especially Banco, PFM, Celeste.....I could go on forever. -------------

Brit prog is the definitely the best, of course. They are the Maestros and that's it. However, Italian prog can count (at least among major bands: PFM, BDMS, Orme, Area and others) on such a richness, inventive, passion, dedication and a higher lever of musical skill (both in composition and in playing virtuosismo) that diserves to be considered, as a whole, second only to the English Masters. Many Italian prog albums match the quality level of the most praised English albums. If you miss Italian prog you give up an entire World.. you can dislike it (it's a matter of personal taste, of course) but you loose something. Obviously i'm Italian... and i'm going to kill you... (Sorry for my basic english)
