The Italian Prog Appreciation den

heh

For anyone into QVL who missed our interview a while back, check it out.  Some good stuff there about the rather reclusive band.  There's a reunion I would really just love to see.....

Oh, Jim, you need to get onto that first Quella album right away! Bit rougher around the edges, but just as good as the second one! Finn/Jim - "The poll ended the right way...." eh?! Game on, bring it lol! No, I have a lot of love for both of them, just impossible to compare them because they sound nothing like eachother! Nicholas, hope you dig `Roller' - words will be spoken sternly if you don't lol!

holy dear god....ROLLER is amazing!!! Micheal. I totally understand and respect you choosing ROLLER to be in your sacred, top 10 world. It is brilliant. Big highlights for me were the tracks IL RISVEGLO DEL SERPENTINE, ROLLER and of course GOBLIN. The organ, moody soundscapes have me so hooked. SUSPIRIA is next. :)
I am really pleased with Goblin's sound and I think I would rank ROLLER to be one of the very best albums in 1976, only behind GENESIS's TRICK OF THE TAIL. This has been a great welcome back for me. :)

Roller is classic Goblin, to be sure.  Only Bagarozzo Mark tops it in my humble opinion!

Coaster, I'm not as much as of a fan of the Bug Mark album, although it's still a fine RPI album! You've actually inspired me to dig it out again, I haven't listened to it in a while!

I really like their `Britannico' album (forgive my ignorance off the top of my head about the proper title), very underrated and a little forgotten in the Goblin scheme of things! Such a lovely, upbeat album (only that wretched `My Damned Sh*t' pop song on it lets it down!), I think I've mentioned to Pierre before that it reminds me a little of that French Air band?

Oh probably should stay away from that one then. I cannot stand AIR. Lol

Pierre, I quite enjoyed that Goblin album `La Via Della Droga', I gave it a decent review a little while back. That band has a whole bunch of fairly unknown albums that usually have at least one or two superb tracks buried amongst a whole stack of decent little pieces.

Dedalus!! Love it Pierre, I'm going to dig it out for my nightshift that starts tonight! A wonderful album
