Well, I like Piccola Rapsodia dell'Ape of Le Orme. It's not at the same level of the previous Florian, 'cause it shows the band moving rapidly to pop music...classic instrumentation and playing is still fine, though, so the album becomes a worth buying for any good Le Orme's fan.
 
Excellent recommendations, by the way!Clap

Common problem also to:
 
- New Trolls: After "Concerto Grosso n° 2" produce only POP album.
 
- Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso: Shortered the  name in Banco produced POP album and only in the 90's are returned to produced Prog music.
 
- Area: After the death of Demetrio Stratos are passed to produce an album Jazz ("Tic & Tac", moreover very good).

It would be a crime not to mention such great albums as I Giganti's TERRA IN BOCCA, Celeste's PRINCIPE DI GIORNO, MEtamorfosi's INFERNO, RDM's Contaminazione, Maxophone's and Murple's efforts,QVL's both albums, Semiramis' DEDICATO A FRAZZ, New Trolls' Concertos ... and Modern Heroes - LA MASCHERA DI CERA and NODO GORDIANO along with NUOVA ERA and CASTELLO DI ATLANTE.

There's also a bunch of rare bands like Il Giro Strano, Eneide,Apoteosi,I Dalton,I Nomadi,Alphataurus,Biglietto per Inferno, Osanna, Buon Vecchio Charlie, Cervello etc - not to be missed by collectors!!!

Excellent recommendations. It experiences however also: DELIRIUM (the first three), FORMULA 3 (the more Prog: "Dies Irae" and "Sognando E Risognando"). PERIGEO (looks the post of the Perigeo in this thread) and the AREA (the first 6), just to begin.

2) ABBIAMO TUTTI UN BLUES DA PIANGERE (1973): 5 stars
3) GENEALOGIA (1974): 4 stars

5) ALICE (1980/ with the name PERIGEO SPECIAL): I have the five track "Alice Q-disc" and I rather this 4 stars
6) I Grandi Del Rock (1993/ compilation): 4 stars
 
Well, Perigeo are an excellent jazz-rock band, one of the big three in Italy along with Area and Arti e Mestieri (as for stmphonic we have respectively Le Orme, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, PFM).
 
Their "Abbiamo Tutti un Blues da Piangere" is considered the most classic contribution from their repertoire and is very good.

For Andrew: Ok, but for like I see it have both you reason. I do not want to do controversal and certainly it depends from the point of view. However it is true that BAMBIBANDA E MELODIE is the continuation of the GARYBALDI and it their not inclusion in www.progarchives.com is serious!!!

BAMBIBANDA E MELODIE has a differnt line-up:

- Maurizio Cassinelli: drums
- Ramasandiran Somusundaram: percussions
- Roberto Ricci: bass
 
FLEA ON THE HONEY changed his name into FLEA in 1972 and then into ETNA in 1975 but keeping the same line-up:

For Andrea Cortese and Italian Prog Team: I can lend the CD of the CRYSTALS to Andrea Cortese for an attentive listening (enough to put itself all right how to do to exchange us it it). I had sent an e-mail time does to urge their inclusion means the address [email protected] but to all today not still I saw their inclusion.
 
For greatet info, meanwhile experienced to visit the following site: www.italianprog.com/it/a_crystals.htm (in Italian) or www.italianprog.com/a_crystals.htm (in English)

For ANDREW: Best your lists and I believe that should be held in big consideration from the team of Italian Prog (test to write to Andrea Cortese). As for BAMBIBANDA E MELODIE is the continuation of the GARYBALDI to them time continuation of the GLEEMEN.
 
If FLEA ON THE HONEY/ FLEA/ ETNA a sole band are considered then here there is an even more important mistake because the previous case is a mistake!!! (FLEA ON THE HONEY/ FLEA/ ETNA are not considered really a one band if it wanted component a biography in historical sense, while the case of GLEEMEN/ GARYBALDI/ BAMBIBANDA E MELODIE)

I've heard a lot of Italian Prog, from the famous to the obscure, and to me there is no doubt that Le Orme is the very best of the lot. They've made a lot of beautiful music.

Second would be Osanna.

The Celeste album is also one of my top Italian records, as is the first Reale Accademia di Musica album.

Battiato and Claudio Rocchi are the best of the solo artists, I think.

The worst Italian stuff I've heard would have to be Jacula/Antonius Rex...I really don't understand what that guy was trying to accomplish.

ItalProg was the deepest scene in the 70s, as far as quality goes. It's amazing that a country with such a small population could churn out so many great bands.

And all the rest is just bullsh*t
