Le Orme is also a must listen, and if you like PFM a lot check out Celeste sooner rather than later.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

^I've only ever listened to PFM, and before coming here I thought they were just a symphonic band that was a bit different. I'll listen to Banco del Mutuo Soccorso next if you say I should listen to the oldies.

I do not know how much RPI (Rock Progressivo Italiano) you have listened to, but my recommendation is to go listen to the oldies of this subgenre first (the 70s that is). |

Hi guys,
I'm trying to contact the band Condor as I need to clear the publishing for a particular track we want to use in a feature. If you have any contact details for the band that would be great. Thanks in advance. All the best, Joe

Oh they do. They have a wide variety of music. I've been shopping there since I started collecting records and have never found another store I quite prefer to it. However, prog beyond the most popular groups isn't so easy to find there.

So no RPI albums in italian there? Bummer. However, you might make up by choosing some other prog stuff they may have there (surely they have more stuff, if they go into RPI).

That's been my hypothesis as well. I haven't tested it, but I feel it would be unpleasantly jarring to hear, say, Generale sung in English. But I also feel bad for not picking up PFM albums at my local record store when I see them, especially when they're in the cheaper section.

I haven't really listened to the english versions of albums... and in general I tend to avoid RPI albums in english, even if they didn't have an italian counterpart. I feel that RPI must be listened to in italian, that is one of the aspects that give it it's uniqueness... and the music sounds so italian that I don't think it would work as nicely in another language. |

I have dipped my toes in RPI over the past year with a small collection of what this website seems to deep the best releases. I haven't listened to all of them extensively, but some of them that I have are among my favorite prog albums. Among them are PFM's Per Un Amico and L'Isola Di Niente. I have them both digitally, and though I would like to have physical copies, all I can seem to find are the english versions. So my question is thus. Having only listened to the Italian versions, but knowing that the English versions do differ in places, are Photos Of Ghosts and The World Became The World recommendable to pick up on vinyl more or less in lieu of their Italian counterparts?

^ I'm ashamed to say that I almost didn't give this album a chance because I thought those shoes just couldn't be filled. And they aren't--but Tony brings new shoes to the project. It also makes me understand that this band really has been Vittorio Nocenzi's baby from day one.

Tony does such a great job on this but Francesco was the best rock singer ever. Big shoes to fill.

He also tours with "Free Area Project" where he plays also older Area stuff. They have a female vocalist. You can find some concerts by them on YT.

I found out today by accident that there's a pretty open minded and varied music show on RAI with quite a bit of interesting discussion, "Nessun Dorma". Today's episode had a piano theme and a major guest was Area keyboarder Patrizio Fariselli. He played some stuff live but they also showed a historical video of "Arbeit Macht Frei" and amazingly he played a lost Area song of 1978 that had never been played live because of D. Stratos's death with some young musicians. He came over as fresh and active as ever. I wasn't aware of this but he seems to have been active continuously since the old days, partly reviving Area music and partly doing his own stuff, which refreshingly is neither music from the past nor annoyingly commercial, but just confident good original music (I won't get into whether this should count as "prog"), maybe not as wild as in the crazy seventies but very worthwhile. Listen to this - just checking out his 100 Ghosts album (2018) and loving all of it: ...or... Edited by Lewian - June 03 2019 at 15:23 |

^ I'm listening to it again right now, and I said aloud, "I'm so happy that this album is so good!" I had to come and say it again. I'm so very surprised, and boy is it good to have Banco back doing some great original music. Tony D'Alessio won't make me forget Francesco (who could?), but he's an excellent vocalist too.
Don't delay! Grab this one!

Hi Todd!
Latte e Miele has a spin off called Lattemiele 2.0 who will release a CD in June. They are the Keyboardist and the Bass Player that joined on the third album in the 70s. Also love that Cervello Live Album, still have to get the DVD of the concert. A new Album would be great! I share your impressions for the other bands, I feel the same about them. That new Dalton Album is really lovley, you should test it out. Edited by TheH - May 16 2019 at 07:34 |
