Callero.. played a lot with Battiato in the 80's... great stuff.. if but in the pop context... but pop not being a 4 letter word.. not in his hands.  His pop stuff is as intelligent and musically valid as many group's prog was.

anyway....  I'm going to turn in and see if I can get some zzz's... between still getting adjusted to the time here (had no problem there) and missing Raff like crazy.. I am not sleeping well or that long.  Take it easy Ryan and have a good night.

That sounds kinda rough, I hope everything gets goin' the way you two would like.  If you have trouble sleeping, I'll probably be hanging around, I have a wonder term paper to write around the crack of dawnLOLOuch.  Good luck and good night.

haha, that's for sure.  Caffeine has become an integral part of my diet the past two weeks...nothing like the end of a semester.  I seriously won't know what to do with myself after finals are overLOL

trust me... it is.. you have to have it...  even if you aren't taken at first...  check Ryan's thoughts on the album...  it is worth staying with.even if it doesn't catch at first listen. 


Teh Orb approves. The Epilogo is swiftly becoming one of my all-time favourite pieces of music, and I love that bonus track to pieces.


there are some covers you need to hear...


You have to hear Ars Nova's cover of Epilogo... .whoa!!!!! 

the contemporary Italian band Ubi Maior did a cover of La Tua Casa.  Enjoy it more than the original.


I like my wallet.
Really I do.

Got some other things to check out first.

Those three are on the "must have" list. The others you listed are on the "why don't I need these?" list.

Oh, and Banco review done yesterday. Check it out if you're interested Smile

another crackling review Linus... and your review segues into my next recommendation..

#11 Biglietto per L'Inferno - s/t

another hard..err.. heavy quasi symphonic classic from Italy.  Duo keyboardists.  Impassioned vocals... and one of the great 'mini-epics' of RPI. L'Amico Suicida. The intro raises the hairs on my head everytime I hear it.

Duo keyboardists and Francesco DiGiacomos are high in regard right now.
