I felt bad passing over it because you never known when it's going to go OOP, but...ya do what ya can with what ya got ($$$).


yes.. I have both of their albums and they are fantastic... I think Dean got into St. Just as well and loved it.

I remember hearing Saint Just's debut when it came out in the early '70s, and loving it right from the first listen. At the time, I was very much into Alan Sorrenti, lead singer Jenny's brother, and those ethereal, eerie soundscapes really appealed to me. I think Jenny Sorrenti's solo career is also worth checking out - saw one of her solo albums at the FNAC store in Rome, and may get it when I visit it next.

Been listening to what I could find of Museo Rosenbach and Alphataurus on YouTube. Both sounds nice, especially Museo R.

I would say that she has a good voice, but I think Jim hit the nail on the head by saying that she is quite "eccentric"; I think it would take me a while to fully appreciate that (which of course I plan on doing...eventually).  That's interesting that her brother is Alan Sorrenti...didn't he go "pop" after a prog album or two? (Aria springs to mind)

He did, unfortunately... And in the worst possible way, trying to imitate The Bee Gees (though New Trolls did even worseDead). Having been a fan of his at the time Aria was released, I was utterly shocked when I heard the notorious (though very successful) "Figli delle stelle".

If this is Ys, absolutely, though the Epilogo is the masterpiece within it.
