Now I have a question for you! Can you think of anywhere, or even particular bands, that sell Italian prog album themed t-shirts, possibly of their albums covers?

I'm waiting for Latte E Mielle too. I didn't know there's a Nuova Idea DVD Do you know anything about it?

Thank you guys! I'm also interested in Victor peraino's Kingdom Come.

I was never impressed with Gleemen actually but this one might be good, still featuring the one and only Bambi Fossati and Marco Zuccheddu from Nuova Idea's debut and Osage Tribe!!!

I have a few Goblin T-Shirts but that is about it from RPI land. Got one at their concert and the others on e-bay.
Let me know what you dig up. Wouldn't mind having an Unreal City shirt. Love La Crudeltà di Aprile's album cover. It's exquisitely evil.

Guys, after the recent discussion about the second Delirium album, after giving it a listen on the way home tonight, I can say that I think it's a very fine album! It's a mixed bag, for sure, one or two poppy numbers mixed with really daring instrumental works. That longer third track is full of really interesting ideas that they seem a little unsure of how to develop, but to be fair, there's not actually a bad track on the whole disc! I think I've unfairly dismissed it a little to harshly all this time!

Thank you H for your (brutally?!) honest thoughts!

Yes, I think I've taken a risk on a few of them, so I'll keep an open mind and hope for the best!

Wish me luck!

^^

Maybe I heared samples of the first album instead of this one,
I wasn't aware that it was already their second.

Still I think there is much better stuff from Italy. I'm spinning
the first CD from the CAP Book now and really like it so far.
