No!!!! It can't be, ducky!! He surely couldn't devote a whole album to that subject?!
Surely the act itself lasts a fraction of the running time of the album?! |

Pierre, this is a really nice album! There's some very striking moments throughout it, although it would work even better without the constant narration interruptions! I read that it was sold in Catholic bookshops and churches....Man, that means there's some lucky churchgoers out there with a prized prog album in their collection!! |

Sure ... and how many have been recorded and sold in the same conditions ? Yesterday, I listenned to the first Latte e Miele's album : Passio ... There is narration here too and though it is one of the most important album of RPI.

Beautiful! Can't wait for both of them! Pretty sure both projects are working on new albums as well? |

Great news from Museo and Il Tempio.
This is another cantautore from the seventies: Eugenio Finardi. These are "Quasar", and "Voglio" from his second album titled Sugo (1976). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h98XxzHIos0 ("Quasar") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOeKtj_tMf4 ("Voglio") Edited by Andrea Cortese - December 02 2012 at 16:47 |

Another artist from the seventies is Carlo Siliotto (member of folk bands Canzoniere del Lazio and Carnascialia). His solo album from 1979 is wonderful and is titled Ondina.

Thanks Andrea, that Eugenio Finardi albums sounds wonderful! I read up on it that it had several guest performances of established prog players contributing on it? That `Quaser' track has lovely dirty guitar and murky bass, funky movement and eerie keyboards! Much of the rest of the album sounds like it has very angry singer-songwriter tracks!
Very interested to hear that Carlo Siliotto album! I assume no CD release, just another in a long line of RPI titles in need of a reissue? Siliotto went on to provide the soundtrack for one of my favourite movies, the 2004 `The Punisher' movie! It had a wonderful PROPER old fashioned and dramatic orchestral score with grand themes and a `old western' vibe! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - December 02 2012 at 17:18 |

Yep, Finardi was very angry in the first years (in the Sugo album there is a "Rebel Music" track), then he went to write his most famous number "Extraterrestre" which is softer. Classic Finardi's album were issued by Cramps label, the same of italian glory Area. No wonder that in Sugo he was helped by some Area's members (Patrizio Fariselli, paolo Tofani and Ares Tavolazzi) plus Lucio Fabbri and Alberto Camerini.
About Siliotto, the album was only reissued in cd format for the Italian Progressive Universal 6 cd boxset collection (the 6th volume, I think, which I got a pair of years ago). He is now a well known composer of movie soundtracks. |

Wow, I had a look, those `Gli Anni' box sets are actually very good value for money! What an endless and fascinating mix of albums on them! Thanks for the tip-off, Andrea!
Just to finish on before I head to work, I thought I'd throw in a track from a great album: IL CERCHIO D'ORO's album `Il Viaggio di Colombo', the second track `Sognando la Meta' Sognando la Meta Enjoy all! |

Andrea, I never thought that Ondina could be so good. The boxset 6 will be on my list of christmas. Maybe I 'll add the FInardi too. I only have Diesel, but I don't really like it.

His only interesting record (from a soft-prog point of vew). It's a collaboration with Ivano Fossati and Oscar Prudente (plus Toto Torquati). |

Andrea, you might be the one to ask! After you mentioned those interesting `Gli Anni '70' compilation CD's earlier today, I've now come across a very good value 11 CD set of Le Orme albums which I think I'll snap up. I've got a couple on vinyl, one or two on CD, but I'd love them all in one place like that.
BUT....I wanted to ask do you know if Universal has released similar box-sets for other RPI artists? |
