Le Orme: Felona e Sorona
1 aug 12
Two opposing worlds, distant yet close, the joyful Felona and the melancholic Sorona. The attempt to balance them will lead to their destruction. A science fiction parable that is a cornerstone of our local prog. Despite its brevity, it features a continuous alternation of dramatic climaxes and meditative interludes culminating in the orphic MoogFest finale. Fantastic are the space rock keyboards of Pagliuca that in All’infuori del tempo foreshadow the theme of Star Wars: but did the good John Williams know them?

    Although I have owned the record for only a year, I believe that Felona e Sorona is one of the most beautiful things I have ever listened to... the cover is exceptional too.

    It is undoubtedly a fantastic album! I love the description, I'm really into it!

    There’s no point in asking if you also have the collage, I suppose..

A beautiful example of sunny and imaginative psychedelia, but penalized by a terrible orchestral accompaniment that seems taken from a Crosby record (Bing, not David).

    no no, my point was for the terrible, not for the "accompanied"

    The fact is that a huge bullshit has been shot here; the orchestra is the added value that sublimates certain immortal pop pieces... ah, and this is the classic album that truly deserves more listens, because the first listen can be misleading... I hope the good Marco Salzano gives it another listen for his own good and reconsiders his evaluations, because his judgment is a bit harsh on a wonderful album.

    Ah ah, no sorry bluesboy, it must be the time (and the wine), but I thought the one who replied to me was the author of the definition and that he had mistakenly written "accompagnato."

    Luludia adjusts her aim, that's right! For example, the initial "Alone Or Again" without the trumpet solo (how much it excites me...) and the interventions of the orchestra wouldn't be the perfect pop song it is. Let's say that the orchestra and brass on this album (already beautiful in itself) enrich the palette of colors, and that's the essence, and that's why I consider the definition unfair.

    In general, orchestrations give me hives, but here, here, my God... this is an album that I will review one day... a day, however, when words come to me... here the sound truly transports you elsewhere...

    It would be enough to quote Totò in "Totò, Fabrizi e i giovani d'oggi": "Modestly, mine is nicknamed the 'Sophia Loren of doves!' [...] She doesn't like Sophia Loren? Free to do so..."

    @imasoulman: it seems to me that Fabrizi was about to stay a little longer after eating that dove ;-P Anyway, I preferred Lollo. What can I say, those orchestral inserts (by David Angel) don't seem that essential to me; I didn't say they ruin the album (like those in "Time and a Word" by Yes) but they do detract from it, that's all.

    Come on... perfect disco! Arthur Lee's vocal performance in "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale" is spine-chilling...

Fantastic Tropicalista album by Battisti. Beyond the song, beyond the prog, just beyond. This album is so beautiful that it even makes me appreciate Mogol's lyrics.

    I am wondering why the attribute tropicalista?

    In Brazil, Battisti stocked up on records. Listen to Lilia by Milton Nascimento.
