The Italian Prog Appreciation den

My favorite 70's RPI Concept album : I Giganti - Terra in Bocca Poesia di un Delitto - (1971).

Prog is like the ability to navigate many different channels of the same sea, sometimes could be possible forget any canal! But rediscover "a lost familiar gem" is always an incredible experience.  Aussye-Bird-Brother and Progbethyname, hope to listen in the wright way (lonely with in ear music) UNREAL CITY. I see you have become superfans of them, surely is a good album  What impressions have you listening it? Unreal City are like Fire Wagon RPI. Their young, and they play with a ton of power and vigor. It was really impressive to hear something like that from a group of young musicians who have just released one album. The Hammond, Moog and Mellotron are played with virtuosity both in the modern and classical sense. I also love Zuffanti's voice. His sings with such emotion and a bit of desperation at times. I love it. Also, Micheal (Aussie-Byrd-Brother) wrote a great review on it if you wanna check it out. He explains his feelings on it very well. :) welcome to PA as well by the way. Oh and again, good work on the Apoteosi appreciation. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and discovery. :)

Oh Yeah!! Ma man Pierre! That's a well deserved promotion, now I'm sure everyone sees your contribution and appreciate your knowledge, congrats

Fantastic album, Jimmy. Unclassifiable.

RPI : Risky Poetic Imagination

Can't go wrong with Arti e Mestieri, Jim/AEP!

That one you highlighted is particularly special, but these two live ones here are very nice too!



That one has a lovely and pleasing more modern concert with a vintage recording as well, both sound very different!



I've also got this live CD/DVD combo, two different performances, one which has some members of King Crimson on it. Problem is a) I don't recall if they are on the CD or the DVD concert, and b) I haven't watched and/or listened to a single second of any of this yet!!

Ha, thanks Jim! I've been on a bit of a bender challenging myself to submit one review a day until the end of the year!

So far so good, and 9 more days to go, then I can collapse! There will be some more Italian ones coming up very soon too.
