The Italian Prog Appreciation den

Hmmmm, I kind of assumed he had more of a `mentor' role, Nick?! A `Master Splinter' if you will!

Going to have to go and dig the CD out now!

Hello everyone.

Fabio Zuffanti has been a great mentor and he's a great friend of us.
His support during the recording sessions of "La Crudeltà Di Aprile" was very important and we're very happy he was there as our artistic director!

But well, Unreal City is not a Zuffanti project and he has never been involved in any composition step and did not play any instrument on the album :)

We are now about to enter studio to record our second album which will be released in January 2015 under AMS label and no longer under its sub-label Mirror; we are grateful to AMS direction for believing in our project and giving us support for this new album.

Fabio Zuffanti will no longer be involved as artistic director, we made this decision together in order to let Unreal City grow as band.

We are close friends and we wish him the best we can for his great solo project (we just played together in Terra Incognita Festival in Canada last week) but now it's time for us to stand on our feet :)

Sure my husband is a sort of Corporal, but sometimes he plays with food a little too much...

Well thank you for following up and confirming my inquiry. I am really looking forward to round 2 !!!
Just to let you know, Clegg I put La Crudeltà Di Aprile in my top 10 for 2013 album releases.
I felt it was really just that good. What an incredible debut and my time in the recording studio be a pleasant and fun journey for the next album. Can't wait.

Some of the regulars in here consider that one of the absolute Italian greats, Tom! I think it's a superb album, but it's not quite as special to me as endless other RPI discs.

The band have just released a new recording of it on the Black Widow label, with a few notable Italian prog guests to read the narrated parts, and there's extended passages and extra bits worked through it. It's a very nice `reboot', I'll be reviewing it at some point soon.

You might want to have another look at Greg Walker's most recent newsletter, check out the `Italian' CD listings to find out exactly what Greg personally thinks of the origina! High praise indeed!

Yo Kangaroo!
Have you ever checked out the Rocky's Filj album?

Check out The Feed Back's album, David. You may like it 

Kangoo: Great news then! I love that thing. Been spinning it a lot lately together with Battiato's first 4 albums. 'Clic' in particular is clicking with this Dane, I might add:-)

Canard de progréssive: Feed Back? What is this you talk of o feathered creature?:-)

The Feed-Back's are a little further back up this page, Dave! I think you'll dig that noisy tornado very much!
