The Italian Prog Appreciation den

1978 album, following the excellent Miradas (1976). Great mix of traditionnal and jazz.

yes, those CdL are very difficult to find on cd...  Spirito Bono and Miradas are terrific records, btw. BTF is lucky. RPI is like a gold mine.

... and Pierre, you're one skilled miner. Aren't you?

Normally goes for big bucks so I've been waiting for a reissue for god knows how long.

Paul, Pierre was nice enough to point out a special `Russian Limited Edition' for a cheap price a few months back - and as we both joked about, it was a pirated/bootleg copy! Had some of the worst faded colour printing, with the cover even cut uneven with scissors I suspect!

But so far the music sounds wonderful!

Pierre, it reminded me a little of this unappreciated album (although it's not an Italian one), I wonder if you've heard it:



It's a wonderful album, and it's shares the same melodic guitar playing and glistening synths as that `Sensitiva Immagine' one.

I treasure my LP of this Arkus one, even though my ex bought it for my birthday! I won't let bad memories ruin a perfect album for me!

New Zaum album added!

Very different albums.  The first is somewhat Area inspired, the new one is much more modern sounding with female vox and slight hints of world music, funk, other genres.....But I'm only just on my first spin of the new one so I can't really judge it. 

But you can't compare them, only one consistent member I believe, they are basically different bands.  I guess I'd say try the new one first....it's a current band and I think they'd love some feedback!
