I think that this album should be deleted: it’s not a new studio album but just a cheap re-release of the album “Venerdì” (1981)… The track listing is the same, so I think that reviewing “Biancaneve” is absolutely useless (the review I sent is exactly the same I made for “Venerdì”)… Probably it would be better just write in the release information space of “Venerdì” : album re-released on CD in 1994 as “Biancaneve” by Replay Music (RMCD 4034), with a different album cover. By the way, I own also an original MC of this album with the same album cover of “Venerdì” but with a different title (“Marinai” CGD – DDD 35 LSM 1306, re-released in 1982) that contains two more tracks: “ Bye! |

P.S. for non italian language speakers: Biancaneve : "Snow White".  |

But you have to be aware that in some countries "Biancaneve" could have been released and "Venerdi" not. Other possibility is someone buy or receive as a gift "Biancaneve" and make a review on it, never knowing that it's equal to "Venerdi". "Biancaneve" is also a name more appealing than "Venerdi", specially for export purposes. Don't you think? BTW: in Portuguese, you need only to change the "i" of Bianca by an "r". ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Ahhh, I didn't know that! I am curious about later Le Orme albums by the way. I stopped with Contrappunti, which is fantastic by the way. I wonder if I would like later albums like Smogmagica. |

If you look in Le Orme's official website they say that Biancaneve is only the re-release of Venerdì... By the way, I own it and the booklet is very poor... Since the songs are the same I think it would be better concentrate reviews and ratings on the original version... |

By the way, this is the track listing with the length of the tracks…
Total time: 39:51
I've asked to Atkingani to delete my old review, so I will try to write a new one more accurate... |

If you guys are sure about this, I can delete it. If someone feels this is a big mistake, you can always add it again ...

Be careful, Smogmagica (1975) is different a lot from Contrappunti, it's a "schyzoid" album. With excellent tracks though:
More traditional Le Orme's album is "Verità Nascoste" (1976). If you want to listen to something completely different, then go with the completely acoustic "Florian" (1979). |

Andrea Cortese, don't forget "Storia O Leggenda" (1977), a great album!!! The cover art is very similar to "Uomo Di Pezza", and i love all the songs; in my opinion this is their last progressive work until 1996 when LE ORME released "Il Fiume". "Florian" is a very good album, but not progressive at all. |

I own Storia o Leggenda, don't like it very much, due to that unespected reggae intro!!! BTW, the closer "Al Mercato delle Pulci" is the gem of the album! Verità Nascoste or Storia o Leggenda? I choose the first one! More convincing. |

Okay, thanks, Andrea and Andrew! I really love Le Orme's Uome Di Pezza, Felona E Sorona and Contrappunti but didn't dare to explore any further. Thanks for the recommendations, even when you don't seem to agree Live Orme, is that good? And Collage? |

Collage is the cornerstone upon which Le Orme builded up their most famous works! |
