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.

uh, brazilian cover???Shocked

...I should check it out then...

True, nothing special, but not nauseating... 


Which makes me wonder... what are your least favorite Italian prog album covers?

Classic RPI covers are in most cases as good as the music.
Some are among the covers in the whole Prog Scene.

I don't like PFM - Chocolate Kings (the original Big Fat Mama one)

I also tend to find band photos as covers very boring.

^ That looks great! PFM has always been great live, but what has bothered me is that they keep playing the same material. Having them do some different pieces is great.

But boy that's going to be expensive! Everything through Aerostella is expensive, and I think this is only coming out on LP/CD combo (if I read that correctly), so I'd better save up for this one!

This is possibly the worst cover I've ever seen, short of some of the truly distasteful covers (such as the early Scorpions albums):

Yuck. 

And H, I agree with you about the Chocolate Kings cover--never liked that one. Love the album, though!

How about this one...


Flora Fauna e Cemento

(pop, not prog, but sort of prog-related--Bla Bla label, drummer is Ciro Dammicco, and the guitarist is Mario Lavezzi who also played with Il Volo)

On my earlier post of Egonon's Risveglio, thanks to the encouragement of others, more "undistracted" listens has begun to open it up for me more.
