Pierre! I can't wait to give this a listen when I get home, but DAMN that is one of the most phallic and erotic covers I've seen in quite some time!

That Buon Vecchio Charlie album didn't have to grow on me actually, I thought it was good the first time I heard it.

I just listened to it a few days ago and thought to bring it up here and mention that Rosa is simply beautiful!

It contains too the Italian "Talk to the wind".  Love that song.

I'll look into it myself when I get home, Pierre, I wonder if it's a live compilation, perhaps? I certainly recognize the front cover, but that's about it.

Nice! I wonder if this was painted by the same artist who did Storia o leggenda?
(Will also listen to this at home!)

Hey, Smithers! The same artist as Uomo di Pezza too! The phallic elements carry through yet again lol!

Pierre, the actual LA QUINTA STAGIONE track is wonderful! Well produced, grand instrumental prog! Great little band!

I'd sign a petition for a reissue right now!

Edgar Allan Poe  (back in the day, and recently)

Photos from their FB page.  Thanks Andrea for catching this. 
There is a great personal recollection written by Marco, that I've posted on the artist page as an addendum to our official bio.  If you like this band be sure to read.Smile

Thanks Jim. Man, those four guys right there put out a top-notch RPI album, one I truly treasure my vinyl reissue of. I hope they're very humbled and excited to know how loved by many people that album is. It's so special to me

What's to stop them being like Delirium, Alphataurus, etc and writing a new album?! So much potential, there's been a ton of great `new' RPI albums from `old' acts!

Officina Meccanica!!

One of my favorite RPI albums, quite different than anything else. Quite wacky, They have that same sense of craziness as Semiramis and some extra cool sax and trumpets arrangements.

What's your thoughts about them?

^ Yeah I'm glad you like it. Actually I wanted to post the song you mentioned but youtube offers only half of the song and the second part really cooks!!

Officina Meccanica is wonderful.  A very spicy sauce!

Drummer was 14 when they started, I imagine the others were just a bit older.  I've noticed a few RPI bands had some very young members...
