I don't know the band (other than reading about them here), so I did not go.

Glad you like the Klan album, buddies. Thanks for Bowie, Kati. David is everywhere at his home.

Hugs to you too, Kati. I listened to many different musics in my life, but Bowie was always present.

They are doing a full north American tour I believe. Do what you can to see them cause I really don't know how much longer GOBLIN will be around for. God...massimo has to be 70 something by now?

Beautiful. Hope you end up loving the whole thing. I haven't listened to disc 2 yet, but I will when I get home. ;)

I've been playing a lot of the rawer sounding and more hard hitting RPI gems of my collection lately. Ålborg Denmark is slowly getting introduced to the wonderful whims of Italy

I started to listen to Italian prog pretty recently and I like everything I've heard so far.

Never too late to start, Proggman! Why don't you tell us which ones you've been enjoying, and I'm sure some of us Italian Den regulars can offer some more suggestions for you to try?
