	il volo - essere o non essere is mostly instrumental, with some rare backing vocals. their first album, il volo - il volo: it has italian lyrics. try PFM - photos of ghost + chocolate kings + jet lag try banco (1975) try RDM - contamination try Osanna - landscape of life. Edited by greenback

	Looking for 70s Italian prog with english vocals or instrumental only. PFMs "The world became the world" is a classic example of almost good enough(one track towards the end is excellent" Is my face on straight". This albums title exemplifies the problem "stumbling to speak acceptable english". The italian style is great and they have great musicians with dexterity in jazz influenced symphonic rock. The problem I have is the lyrics get in the way, recognizing the emotional delivery but its a drawback that the germans overcame with excluding most vocals. Focus did a great job by using nonsensical lyrics, breaking the dutch language barrier for the english speaking audience. I tried Banco's english release and their soundtracks also. The only release I have found that I think is stellar is Il Volo's - Essere, no essere. Could someone suggest something I missed, either with sparse italian chanting or background vocals, sparse english or instrumental only classics. If it is to jazz fusion and complex time changes (avant garde) and disjointed I lose interest also, needs flow, mystical, and some funk or beat.
