Aria by Alan Sorrenti is a very good album, beit in Italian vocals I cant understand him but he sounds like Dracula at the Opera!

giobia's not in the archives, but they are certainly very heavily prog influenced if not outright prog.  anyway, they're psychedelic and really fantastic.

Aria is a masterpiece! Not everyone's cup of tea, but impressive.
 
Aria -- album cover
 
This one is more diffucult to listen to, but the song Serenesse is beautiful!

[/QUOTE]good call on Goblin and Picchio dal Pozzo

I don't have the Pierrot Lunaire or Franco Battiato albums  though .... sound interesting though..
[/QUOTE]

Try streaming them. Both have good examples available here. (I'd choose Pollution over Una Cellula)

Battiato is still a very interesting artist, though nowadays he does rather different things. I saw him live quite a few years ago, when he'd just became a very popular pop artist with songs such as "L'era del cinghiale bianco". I absolutely loved the concert, though I did not really expect to at first. If you are open-minded, you can enjoy even his poppier output, as its quality is very high indeed - though it helps if you understand Italian.

Picchio dal Pozzo's debutalbum is canterburyinspired jazz rock. A classic. No streams available.


Franco Battiato: Pollution and Sulle Corde di Aries is spacey, electronic and experimental, but with very melodic and catchy songs.


Goblin made lots of soundtracks for Dario Argento's horror movies. This album, and the soundtrack to Profondo Rosso are both good.
