I was having the same trouble, Pierre!

The best I could do was look at the big pictrue that TheH posted, which is here again! :



Some I recognize, others not so much!

I thought you might, Pierre!

I have several, but I plan of filling in a few gaps in my collection with some of the above titles! Very happy to see that Roberto Colombo and first Il Vovo album show up!

Guys, on this list, would you recommend the Formula 3 albums?

This is one band I've never heard any of.

Most like Sognando .. I don't. There are good moments and my japanese album has a fantastic sound. It just doesn't work.

My fav is "La Gande Casa" : More humble. Great acoustic guitar. Great ballads. Love the singer.

I agree. There's that one song though that sounds like two cats fighting on top of an alley fence. Screechingly awful.

Most of the Formula 3 stuff is a bit on the Pop side.

Sognando is the only Album really worth checking out from the Prog
Point of view. I would say it's heavy Psych Prog, but I can understand why Hellogoodbye doesn't like it. (I really like it.)

I think that it's because I love Battisti and hate the Formula 3 's cover.

Did you ever hear the Disco Remix of the Formula 3 Version?

I can definitely recommend this album Michael, not a masterpiece in any way but certainly deserves a place in any RPI collector's collection like yourself.
I think the album has a great flow and there's much to enjoy there, as I said I can recommend many albums before that one but you already know all of them LOL And yes horrible cover.

But I would get that Libra album before! Heart

Thanks, Sagi! I was actually referring to all four of the Formula 3 albums listed! I was planning on just diving in if enough of you guys think it's a good idea, but I wonder if there's better albums I should consider over them.

Oh, I knew you'd rate the Libra one!

Ok, Other than Sognando I know La Grande Casa which also has its moments but nothing's special. I'm not sure that's a band who's worth checking their whole albums.

Thanks, mate, I think I might give them a miss, or see if there's any clips of Youtube to get an idea what they sound like. Cheers all the same!

Michael, Sognando is a worthy effort, and Grande Casa is very good too, though more poppy as H said. The first two are psych--I rarely listen to them. But if you like psych they are on the good side of psych. By the way, Sognando is on Greg's list of all time best albums. I don't rate it as high as he does, but to me it's a good 4 star album, Grande Casa about 3.5. 

When I ripped Sognando to my computer, I used the Brazilian cover instead of the horrible Italian one.

I have not heard anything by Formula 3 as well, perhaps it is time.
 
Thanks to Todd's excellent review of Tacita Intesa, I got their album off of Bandcamp.  Very good album, I like it Thumbs Up
 
I also just got Egnon's Risveglio and there are moments and songs I really enjoy, but for some reason, the album as a whole does not pull me in to love it.  Perhaps not enough listens yet....

You should invest some more time on Egonon, I think it is one
of the very best albums to come out of Italy in the last 10 years.

^ Yeah, I'm not into modern RPI at all but Egonon's album is really really good. Keep on listening to it Jim, I'm sure it will reveal itself.

I agree wholeheartedly. I was not too keen on the first few spins but the more I let it blanket me , the more comfortably numb I became. Great album.....new one soon....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
