Procol Harum -Exotic Birds and Fruit
Marco Salzano
After the chilly "Grand Hotel," they make a return to a more energetic and straightforward rock with a very varied and consistent album. Sunny and upbeat is Nothing But The Truth. Beyond The Pale has Klezmer echoes even though it's inspired by Nordic folklore. As Strong As Samson is one of the most beautiful ballads of the Brooker-Reid duo. The Idol retrieves their solemn side for a sharp reflection on the traps of idolatry. Also good are the crazy vaudeville Monsieur R. Monde and the dissonant The Thin End Of The Wedge. more

Procol Harum — Grand Hotel | DeRank™: 0,00

The luxurious cover featuring musicians in tuxedos in front of the Grand Hotel would suggest the worst. Fortunately, however, our band skillfully avoids kitschy mannerism and, riding the wave of the Symphony Concert, blends a regained classicism with a sometimes nostalgic, sometimes sarcastic fin de siècle decadent spirit. Additionally, the newcomer Mick Grabham does not make us miss Trower too much. Highlights: Grand Hotel, Toujours L'Amour, Fires (with Christianne Legrand and her refined phrasing). more
Procol Harum -Live: In Concert With the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra
Marco Salzano
With more preparation, this live performance could have been a milestone. Nevertheless, it stands as one of the (not many) happy examples of the union between a large orchestra and a rock ensemble. Just five songs tastefully arranged (obviously sacrificing a bit of the Hammond) but quite faithful to the studio versions. An exception is the new Spanish-influenced "Conquistador" featuring a brilliant distorted solo by Dave Ball. Unfortunately, the quadraphonic effects are gone (which seemed stunning on "A Salty Dog"). more

A good director with solid craftsmanship and fresh ideas, who paradoxically loses something when he sheds the antics of a tavern jester. Half a point goes to him for Morricone. more

One day, I called in to Viva Radio2 with Fiorello. He made me laugh, but only that time. Unfortunately, in Italy, there are a lot of people who think that behaving correctly and civilly without screwing over others is hypocritical, since we are all rogues and only care about our own interests. It’s like saying... a clear path for the Knight and, unfortunately, also for the horses. more

When the Apollo 13 crew famously said "Houston, we have a problem," the problem was that they had forgotten a copy of Electric Ladyland back on Earth to deposit on the Moon as a "supreme testament to Human Genius." Of course, from Cape Canaveral they ordered them to turn back and fetch the damn record. more
