Hi,

Goodness Ian ... you're only missing BANCO. Excellent list you put together though!

I would have added ANGE as well, but at the time, they were very theatrical in their work, and I think it kinda throws progressive listeners off some. But their stuff was really beautiful, and worth having for their first 7 or 8 years ... and a must have ... the live album TOME VI.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Non mi svegliate ve ne prego
ma lasciate che io dorma questo sonno,
c'è ancora tempo per il giorno
quando gli occhi si imbevono di pianto,
i miei occhi... di pianto.

^ The two of those I don't know are the Procession and De De Lind albums.

Off the top of my head, some of my favourite 70s albums from Italy included in PA are:

Franco Leprino - Integrati ... Disintegrati
Franco Battiato - Sulle corde di Aries
Picchio dal Pozzo - Picchio dal Pozzo
Area - Caution Radiation Area
Pierrot Lunaire - Gudrun
Dedalus - Dedalus
Goblin - Profondo rosso
Fabio Frizzi - L'adila

Some of those get much more appreciation than others from others, but all are greatly appreciated by me.
