CD has become cheap today. so I hardly recommend this one again.
 The bonuses (not available on youtube) are splendid.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQeqaJxlzk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k-oDlKr_kE |

There are quite a lot of them in our "Interviews" sections of the Forum. This is my favorite as it was a real labor of love....and took a LONG time to pull off.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80190&OB=ASC Edited by Finnforest - August 28 2016 at 06:51 |

^The interview is amazing. I read the whole thing undisturbed, not even taking my eyes off the text for a second. Thanks so much for sharing that!

Thanks, i appreciate that. We were sad we couldn't get all of them, but that's how it goes. If you find the Forum interview thread and start going back in time, you'll find lots of obscure RPI items. Torodd had a dream of getting a little something from each of these groups before they pass on. He didn't finish that dream but he got quite a few. My salute Torodd, wherever you are.

Here's the "Interview Index" which shows quite a few RPI bands.....with links for convenience....although it appears to have stopped being updated at some point. So if you don't see the band you want here, you should still go to the Interview thread and do a search.

Gentlemen, would any of you recommend this album:
 A CD of this has been available from a local Australia vendor on Ebay for almost a year now, and I was wondering if it is worthwhile getting due to the backing of PFM. I suppose I'm more worried that it will be something I'd listen to once and then never again? |

De Andre is (was R.I.P.) a very important Singer/Songwriter in Italy. From a Prog Point of view he is not really interesting, if you can't understand the lyrics most will be lost to you. I have one of the live album he did with PFM in the 70s, and it did actually nothing to me. But there will be a new PFM studio album in Spring next year! |

Thanks, mate, yes, I expected it was more of a singer/songwriter album.
Plenty of other more important Italian discs I can catch up on  I do hope the new PFM will be more inspired than Le Orme's `Felona e Sorona' 2016 remake! |

So how many "classic era" members are going to be a part of the new PFM/Banco/Orme releases?

Actually, I'm listening to this one at work right now:
 Not bad at all for the time, but it's probably more interesting with the DVD of the concert that comes with it. |

My first introduction to Italian Prog was Io Come Io by Il Rovescio Della Medaglia. The record floored me. My friend put it on just to see what I thought. I ended up listening to it twice in a row. Just amazing.

Hi Paul, welcome to the Den.
I'm not sure I've ever heard that one....most people jump right to their next album with RDM. Which I believe is a very different album. I will try to check it out sometime |

It is the one with the metal medal on the cover that goes for ridiculous amounts of money on discogs. I felt pretty lucky to have heard it as I'm not sure if it has been reissued.

I haven't listened to it in a loooooong time, I certainly forgot about it. All I remember from it except from it being very very different from Contaminazione is that's it is mostly a hard rock prog album, quite close to Osage Tribe, I don't think there's even a keyboard there. A lot of distorted bass and guitars, weird vocals, a very raw recording. I'll have to revisit sometime.
And btw yes it was reissued. |

Random RPI thought of the day:
Do I dare ask what Osanna's `Fog in My Mind' is about?! I'm sure I'm not mishearing it, but there's the repeated lines of `I touch myself' and `I hate my hands', and I feel rather
