Latest achievements, I went light and heavy or I should say heavenly and hellish.
Celeste - Pricipe di un Giorno for the heavenly part, very delightful!
 And the hellish part, Biglietto per L'inferno.
I remember Michael mentioning this one around the end of last year in this thread and put it on my list. Nice and heavy and a little dark!

 Agree! I played it over and over for about 2 weeks when I first got it.I also like Dopo I'uragano, very heavy and bluesy, that song reminded me of Bloodrock, a heavy band from Texas in the 70's.

Finally completely 'warmed' to the first Alphataurus album. I've had it since 2011 when Jim recommended it (along with about 50 other albums
 ) and although I liked it when I first heard it, I now love it.Especially 'La Mente Volta,' awesome Edited by dreadpirateroberts - April 09 2013 at 07:07 |

I need to give this one another chance...I always write it off as pseudo-prog and never give it an honest listen.

Definitely not, Jim. The prog side is lost in the second album. Remains the classic songs.

Oh I love that song....just reviewed the album yesterday.
Do you have Dentro too Pierre? I'm wondering if it is as good as the first. Opinion is very mixed out there... |

La Bottega dell'arte's debut is such a beautiful album. People can brush it off as "just pop" if they want to, but I still love it. I wish they would re-issue it, and Dentro, the 2nd album.

Yeah. I 've always liked that kind of music between Library, Prog, Jazz ...etc. Persimfans is that kind of disk that you can't classify. RPI is full of such things.

Do you like that first one Pierre? It's not the most excitng jazz-related album, but still very respectable, and occasionally really great!

The second one, Pierre, really floored me! Very impressed here:
FRANCO DELFINO - Astrattismo 3 
Now this wonderful instrumental album has TOTAL identity crisis! It starts off very melancholic - lots of murky brooding classical jazz piano with the darkest of dark synths. Very eerie. Then it turns into a cold and icy electronic album, before a few tracks later ending up like a Romantic prog album like Camel/Rousseau (just the synths, I didn't pick up on any guitars on the album), then back again. There's also some very metallic and frightening eexperimental electronic soundscapes. It's all over the place, but every track was a winner. What a fascinating album!! |

Pierre, I got to hear two wonderful albums today, I wonder if you know them! The first -
SPIRALE - Spirale (1974). 
A wonderful Italian jazz album with a bit of an identity crisis! Considering it's Italian, the first track sounds more like `Out Of Focus' (pretty sure they were German?), and there's also Samba, salsa, and fusion elements later on in the album too . By the end it reminded me a little of Arti e Mestieri in places, mainly due to the violin. I know you like jazz, so I think this album might be to your liking. No classic, but the first track `Rising' was terrific. The rest was decent overall too. |

 Many forums around the world are talking about that Paolo Ferrara's album. Everywhere the same question : 1971 or 1978 ? Before or After Pink Floyd ? Last news : In Italy, in the seventies, a kind of date stamp was used by some record companies. It seems that the stamp ot this particular album indicates 1978, which means that the year of publication would be not earlier than the notable Floyd albums.  |
