All Prog From Italy Appreciation Thread

Getting permission would be at least good form, but as you know, on the web very few people bother to ask for it, or even to acknowledge their source. Personally, I like to write bios that are as original as I can manage, even when using other sources (which is inevitable). Anway, I'd be happy to help with rewriting any RPI bios that are not satisfactory.

Raf: I don't think any are unsatisfactory, because I realize that our collabs sometimes have a rough time finding information about particular bands and "the bible" is often the only good source...I was just thinking as a college student and how serious plargiarism is..my instinct is always to cite everything; and I agree with your approach on being original (probably a big reason why I don't review much).  but if I happen to find any that need work I'll give it a shot or let you know.

Well, I've looked at some bios, and they could use some changes. I've seen a particularly nasty mistake in the bio of a relatively famous band (won't mention them here though), and I'll probably do something about it in the near future.

Not at all.... It's not a mistake that concerns musical matters, but rather a band's name. I'll tell you in private!

ahhhh.. wasn't one of my additions hahahha

going back to correct

I noticed it. I just assumed the collaborator responsible was being post-rock.



Erm...what was it again?

Never mind. Ys review in the worksish.

We have crack RPI staff?

Where?

Nice site, guv'. The Bacio is in my gunsights, very nice indeed. One of the things I noticed is the justified reverence for all the classic old-school Italo-Prog and I can't help noticing that there is alot of great bands today. The late eighties had the splendid CAP album "Nei gorghi del Tempo" , a simple yet fascinating piece of wondrous music. I had the pleasure of meeting two members in Milan in 2003 and the nicest mid-age gents you can ever hope to meet. Jim, I have here a list of recent Italian prog albums that I feel need a little more adulation. I reviewed most but they seem somewhat away from any deserved spotlight What do you say about shining a little light on them!
