I think I told you Mandy.. that book on RPI I have lists almost 300 groups and almost 100 solo artists.... ConfusedLOLWink


Eh, eh... This is the problem for a profitable and good promotion of the Italian Prog!!! EmbarrassedConfusedBig%20smileShockedClap


that is the delicate nature  of what we do.... they don't differentiately between pure prog ..and what we would consider PR.  Since we will not flood the admins with PR requests.. we have to sift through there and  find the gems  amoung them for the site.  The book is fairly good at giving some qualitative nature to their music as well as discographies, bios, line-ups and all.  If you don't have it Mandy.. you should defintely get it.  I meant to bring it with me to the show... damn...I couid have had Aldo sign it LOL... and show it to you.

Plus I need to post the forward to the book... another nice write up that confirms  why we have RPI set up the way we do.

This could open the floodgates to the addition of similar artists from other countries, to the detriment of the site's credibility as a PROG site.
 
I perfectly agree, but Planet Gong can always open a new thread in the non-prog music section of the Forum...


I am totally agree!!! I love Fardizio De André music and I believe that in PA would be well. But like PROG RELATED artist and only because has working with PFM and because used Prog arrengements (and not in all song). However to say that it is Prog Folk...

IMO pooh aren't prog.
they just started with prog (the guitarist is one of the best in italy) but, after some love songs, turned on pop music.
lucio battisti is the typical italian music style.as i wrote on a volo review, battisti played with them in some album (anima latina and other).
 
so, i prefer lucio battisti to pooh.
 
i want to suggest an italian artist.
guy fawkes, next week he'll release a new album
