WHERE ARE THE GIRLS !!!???

Except for APOTEOSI, OPUS AVANTRA, PIERROT LUNAIRE, ZAUBER, the little Jenny OF SAINT JUST and some others, the female lead vocals are rare in RPI.

So my question is : Would the RPI be a Macho Art ?

^ True, the girls a far fewer but that's the case in all prog.

Besides the ones you mentioned a quick think and I came up with Conqueror, Antonius Rex and Jacula, Circus 2000 (more Psych), Sophya Baccini (solo and with Prescence) and Biglietto Per L'Inferno (only recently). They are few and far between though.

Ha! I see Jim was posting at the same time as me. Smile

News Flash: Il Bacio Della Medusa

"In the summer of 2010 the Violinist Daniel Rinchi leaves the band and the BDM closes the group with the actual arrangement.   At the same time the group begins the writing of a new album "Deus lo vult" in June 2011 and enters the studio for the recordings.

  In July 2011, the BDM leaves Black Widow Records and, aiming to the growth in terms of image, arrives at an experimental advertising project coordinated by Glare Art & Communicationss, which aims at raising the value of the band and at making it more attractive to new record labels." --their site

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

No hate, just taste.

Absolutly Jim. The more I search, the more I understand at what point the first years of the seventies in Italy were blessed.

Take a look at that TV Live of RADM's Vertigine.

Watch the girls (goupies ? girlfriends ?). See their hands, their lips. They know the song by heart.

^^ Mmmmhhh yummy that sounds delicious!

The way you describe that record Pierre - makes me think these guys might have been thinking about a future Danish dude, when they made this album LOL

I have been using my time in class today, reading about RPI. Our speaker was merely reciting what we all had read, and things quickly became zzzzzz David Hume zzzzzzz what about some RPI surfing I then thought to myself.

I found some pretty interesting stuff - I don´t see it featured here at the RPI section, but through reading various webpages google-translated into Danish, I understood that somebody out there thought very highly of these records.

The first is called Le Group X - Frrrrigidaire (1972):

Here´s a crazy guy - with an even crazier cover art LOL

Alberto Radius - Radius (1977 - 72?):

This last one is with Demitrio Stratos Heart

This is more old school, but there´s a warm vibe going on here. Armando Piazza - Naus (1973):

This one sounds really interesting and very melodious. Albero Motore - Il Grande Gioco (1974):

And last a band called Ultima Spiaggia. They made a record called Disco dell´Angoscia in 1975:

That ought to be proof that I´m doing something constructive with my studies Big smile

Do any of you guys know of these artists?

And sorry for the ENORMOUS post, I just thought you might like to hear what I´m talking about Embarrassed

This one from 1977 is really great. Hard to define. I hear everything, from Folk to Kautrock and Classical spanish harmonies. I don't know if a CD exists. A rare vinyl for sure.

Thank you Pierre. I am bringing this one to the team for evaluation. Great stuff.
