IO SONO MURPLE

MURPLE unfortunately only released one album titled (I Am Murple) which stands out as a superb piece of 70's Italian Progressive Rock. Centred around the symphonic keyboard and piano work of Pier Carlo Zanco this album blends all of the progressive rock characteristics that made this such a beloved region for this art rock genre. Comprised of just two lengthy tracks (side one and side two) "Io Sono Murple" draws on the classic 70's Ital-prog vibes with gorgeous piano and synthesizer work mixed with fantastic guitar, bass and drum interplay. The 2 songs are both drop dead fantastic and contains the romanticism of "I Pooh" and LOCANDA DELLE FATE with the musical prowess PFM. Lyrics are sung in Italian and fit the music nicely. "Io Sono Murple" is also a concept album and tells the tale of a penguin that leaves his home in Antarctica, and encounters the Evil Man. Overall a fantastic album from start to finish.
