Zago/Ske productivity

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   OK, it's time to talk about and glorify those two great Italian musicians, Francesco Zago (guitars), and Paolo Botta ('Ske') (keyboards) who cooperate with each other on various acts, making albums on there own, contribute their ablilties to other bands, and are so prolific and make high-quality music.
So which album do you like the most? and if it's another option, please tell us about it. I'm sure I've beeb missed out something.

I admit I'm quite new to those two guys, but I'll take care of it in the upcoming years  .  It's just that I'm loaded with CD's and have so little time and good conditions to listen carefully and concentrate as it deserves ... so please enlight me.

	Oh this is going to be tough. I need to think about this, between Yugen & Ske.

	Two more Zago\Ske albums came into my mind: 1 - Sonata Island goes RIO - Chamber/Accoustic arrangements for some RIO Classics, partly from Zago 2 - a live performance of Picchio Dal Pozzo with both Zago, Ske, and (very) few original band members. I own the latter, and up to now heard just once (will be checked later). It was'nt very special (comperred to the original Studio version) but still. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=31656

	I have to go with Ske. It's just too lovely. I actually recall liking Iridule better than the debut, though the debut needs another listen.
