      Hello my dear Andrea's, I just noticed some words about this album Wink :
 

PERIFERIA DEL MONDO — Perif3ria Del Mondo

Review by erik neuteboom (erik neuteboom)
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Symphonic Prog Expert

3%20stars The Italian band Periferia Del Mondo has released their third album and decided to give it the name of the group so it’s called Periferia Del Mondo but not their debut album. The 10 compositions sound alternating and contain a wide range of instruments. The woodwind instruments (clarinet and saxophone in my opinion) have an important role on this album, they colour the music in a very pleasant way. And you can enjoy lots of interesting musical ideas like a moving clarinet solo and sensitive electric guitar in the swinging titletrack, fiery guitar and an organ solo in the mid-tempo song Ocean, a spectacular synthesizer solo and many soli (including a clarinet inspired by Ravel’s Bolero) in the Mid-Eastern sounding Suite Mediterranea and wonderful acoustic guitar with violin-Mellotron in Charoscuro. And in the song Alghe suddenly there is pure rock and roll guitar with organ and powerful vocals, it’s all possible on this new and interesting CD by Periferia Del Mondo!

                                                            Ciao!

Yes Erik, I was intrigued by your comment, especially for the woodwinds section. Clap
 
I think Periferia del Mondo is another promising band from Italy and their recent third work  has pleased me a lot. So when I saw that a copy of this cd was settled on a shelf at Pickup Records it immidiately had to be mine!
 
Yes, I like the eastern and folky incursion in prog and it would also be interesting if the band increase their keyboards' parts in accordance with their jazzy tendencies. I'm curious to see what they will release next!

Last week I played records by new Italian band iX with Ora Pro Nobis (Musea/Atabal Productions) and Pangea with Invasori from 1976 (Btf.), both sounded interesting and adventurous but too complex for me Wacko ...

BTF is releasing so many obscure bands ...Wacko
 
BTW, finally the official release of Primitive is near, Erik. I fear you won't love this album very much, probably for the too much strong (as you know) Genesis' influence. In a past review (on Vacuum, I think) you said that Genesis' isnpired bands such as The Watch fail to conquer your heart. Not because you don't love Genesis (being your fav band ever) but because Genesis' clones aren't really intreresting.
 
After all, I hope the powerful mellotrons can please you and even cause you some "goosebumps" feelings!Wink

A few weeks ago I published a review about the obviously Peter Gabriel Genesis inspired band Sensitiva Immagine and their splendid album E Tutto Comincio Cosi (SEBTP side 3 Wink ) in this thread, no reactions at all, what a pity because I love interesting 70-77 Genesis clones like Sensitiva Immagine and Neuschwanstein Thumbs%20Up

It should be been Andrea Cortese in the thread that I make close. Sincerely I am seeking the album and I have still a shop to visit.  Otherwise I order it.

Hybla Act 1 is a great album, indeed, DirkClap
 
Nowadays I recommend the third album by Periferia del Mondo. Not at the same level of the latest of Randone, but excellent, in my opinion!Thumbs%20Up

Simona Angieloni, marvellous singer from Aries also from Italy. I'm hoping to hear more from Aries in the future but i guess Fabio Zuffanti is a really busy man with also other projects like La Maschera di Cera, Finisterre and Hostsonaten going on. Btw There is a streaming mp3 of Aries on this site if i'm not mistaken. Check it out Thumbs%20Up.

I know I'm a rather obstinate man, but I'm going to re-post this one:
 
Maybe this could seem too specific, but I just wanted to dedicate some words to Germano Serafin, Le Orme's guitar player between 1976 and 1980. His delicate and imaginative guitar playing has always deeply impressed me, but apart his strong contribution to Le Orme, I don't know anything about his career but his premature death in 1992 (for a car accident? For a severe illness? Sources differ a lot about this). Have you got information about him? Do you want to express your appreciation for a very fine musician?
 
In particular, I'd like to have some information about the years between his exit from Le Orme (1980) and his death (1992). If you have it...

I know they aren't here yet, but the band Nosound is wonderful.  They make absolutely beautiful music.  It's very soft and relaxing.  Their new album Lightdark is supposed to be coming out at some point this year.  I'll be looking forward to it.

From my other closed thread (posted by my friend Andrea Cortese):

Days ago I've received a private message from progger evenless, aka Martijn Martens from the Netherlands.
 
He asked me of an obscure contemporary italian prog band "Nosound" and added also the info below:
 

NOSOUND “Sol 29”

 

"Sol 29" is the debut album from Giancarlo Erra’s NOSOUND project. A collection of introspective songs and ambitious instrumentals positioned midway between organic early 1970s Progressive experiments and contemporary Post-Rock influences that occasionally recalls the work of SIGUR ROS, PINK FLOYD, PORCUPINE TREE and NO-MAN.

 

The reason NOSOUND should be added is clear. This is prog music to the bone from Italy which has great similarities to PINK FLOYD and Porcupine Tree (The Sky Moves Sideways era).

 

Official website: http://www.nosound.net

 

DISCOGRAPHY :

"Sol 29" is their debut album and therefore their best. They have also released a PROMO CD-R (2004) and a DVD-R “The World is Outside”.

 
 
 
He also told me he already asked for the inclusion. Does some other italian progger colleague knows them?
 
 
From the official website: 2007 Nosound new album:
 


L i g h t d a r k (just enter, click on play button and listen to a preview...Wink)
 
 
The band is already added in other prog web sites such as Progressive Ears  and Movimentiprog.
I still don't own any of Nosound's records but it all sounds interesting (and yummy).
