Beautiful album. Sounds that remind me of Genesis and Camel (especially Nude).
  • hjhhjij
    9 nov 14
    "Nude" is a bit strange since it's 4 years later :) But it's plausible that Locanda's music recalls Genesis, especially '76-'77, and Camel. You can hear Hackett in the guitar.

The best album by the group. On par with foreign albums of the same period and genre. We (the Italians) should be proud to have produced such masterpieces. Oro caldo is an absurd masterpiece for my taste.

    I think it’s the most brilliant album of the magical year 1967 (where there are great records in abundance)...
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    I think I agree with Hell, perhaps except for Absolutely Free by Zappa. A colossal album throughout the ages.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Anyway yes, 1967 is one of the greatest years in the history of music.

    Surrealistic Pillow, where do you place it? The first two by the Doors, the first by the Moody Blues? Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! What great years!!!
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    And it’s also my birth year; have you ever wondered where all my wisdom comes from?
  • FrenkyWestSide

  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    "Surrealistic Pillow, where do you place it? The first two from The Doors." Indeed, indeed. The other two a bit less, but I would like to add Safe As Milk by Cuordimanzo and "Underground" by the Electric Prunes. As mentioned, one of the greatest years of all time.
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    When it comes to seriously discussing the album, I definitely prefer Pink Floyd from Atom Heart Mother onwards, when my beloved David's guitar sound starts to "take over." Still, the first album by the English band is genius, psychedelic, dreamy... a masterpiece.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    "Bless you!" Yeah, but in the meantime, I’m twenty and he’s 47 :P haha
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    I swear hjhhjij that for a good moment I had to pause over the Cuordimanzo, unable to grasp the group; then everything quickly revealed itself and I can only agree with you: Signorsi Signor Capitano.
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    Yes, but I have seen almost THREE HUNDRED concerts and you haven't!!!!
  • FrenkyWestSide
    26 may 14
    At this point, let's add The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and Mr. Fantasy by Traffic.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    "Yes, but I've seen almost THREE HUNDRED concerts and you haven't." It's not a matter of age, but of DESIRE, and you definitely have more of it than I do. P.S.: Beefheart is still Beefheart, that album is awesome.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Psychedelic Sound is from 1966, though. Ok Mr. Fantasy, but I don't know that album well. Of Traffic, I only know one well, guess which one?
  • FrenkyWestSide
    26 may 14
    Damn, alright, November 1966, so we're there. I have no idea which album you know well :P
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    Since I like the game, let's play: I would add Love with the stunning combo "Da Capo/Forever Changes," "Goodbye and Hello" by Mr. Buckley, and Cream with "Disraeli Gears."
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    In my opinion, the one with the title that starts with the name Giovanni in English, released in 1970.
  • hellraiser
    26 may 14
    Nice album Mr. Fantasy, but in my opinion, it doesn’t hold up to the glory of The Piper. However, Sergeant Pepper beats them all, absolutely!
  • FrenkyWestSide
    26 may 14
    De...Marga... Maybe eh
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Yes, that’s what DeMa says :) Kudos to DeMa for referencing that masterpiece by Tim Buckley, "Goodbye and Hello." "Anyway, Sgt. Pepper beats them all." Yes hell, as always XD
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    We have forgotten, and I only realize it now, my favorite from that year that came out in March. I leave you with the question that will be rewarded with a bunch of BANANAS...
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Oh no, my friend, in the fourth comment I wrote: "I forgot the VU banana. No, sorry but that one wins, by a landslide." :)
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    Never mind and I apologize!!! It was already mentioned, rightly so, hjhhjij. So I ask for forgiveness by mentioning the two first works of Mr. Hendrix from Seattle that were both released in 1967.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Well, I had said it: one of the best musical years ever, gold medal, a very rare vintage.
  • hjhhjij
    26 may 14
    Both for beauty and for historical significance.
  • hellraiser
    26 may 14
    Too many titles, impossible to rank them. I’ll add the Stones with Satanic, the 13th Floor with Easter Everywhere, Hendrix (good Dema), the first Grateful Dead, Wind of Change by the Animals, Sell Out by the Who, Younger by the Byrds, Side Trips by Kaleidoscope...scary year...
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    @ hjhhjij. About a decade ago, in my Domodossola, the most famous record store, called "Discaio," closed down; I spent entire afternoons of my youth inside it, personally knowing the owner who was ten to twelve years older than me. We liked to play a game where we would reminisce about historic records or bands from the years ranging from the sixties to the two-thousands. Guess where we lingered the most? By the way, Walter—that was his name—had seen Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, to name the first ones that came to mind, back in the seventies. I cried bitter tears when he shut his doors. Those were incredibly important years for Music, and we’re not discovering that now.
  • De...Marga...
    26 may 14
    @ Hellraiser: your innate passion for those years makes you one of the most reliable and knowledgeable writers on the site; and it is a great pleasure for me to exchange musical opinions with characters of your caliber, without taking anything away from Hjhhjij and Frenky. Well done, guys.

    A bit dull, isn't it? The recording is excellent for its time. I still have the vinyl and it actually has a fantastic sound. We could talk about the quality of the compositions until tomorrow. However, I believe it's an album worth keeping. For better or for worse.

    a shameful cover, perhaps as much as the album itself. Even "Radio Kaos" was indecent. As a teenager, I was obsessed with Pink Floyd, but today I wonder why; "The Wall" is a heavy-handed work on the verge of tastefulness, and the last thing I like is "Echoes."

    Let's say that over the years he has become increasingly pompous; for me, the peak (of pomposity) was reached with Amused to Death, but The Wall is still worthy of attention. Let it be clear, attention, not compliments.
  • templare
    9 jun 14
    Loquacious.....
  • perfect element
    27 jun 15
    Just for Clapton's guitar, it deserves the highest score. Secondly, Waters is loved and cannot be debated. Amused To Death represents his solo peak and is not at all pompous; it is a masterpiece, considering the lineup of guest artists.
  • ZannaB
    29 jun 15
    I consider a masterpiece based on the compositions, not on who performed them. An album can be pompous and a masterpiece at the same time. For me, however, Amused to Death is just pompous, not a masterpiece. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, it just means it’s pompous.
  • ZannaB

    Is it clear that I find it pompous? If not, I’ll say it again...

    Just the three parts of 'what God wants' would be enough to annihilate anyone; one must not confuse the search for the perfect sound with pomposity.
  • ZannaB
    22 aug 16
    Damn Perfect, but after how many years did you finally reply???
    For me, Amused was and remains a pompous hodgepodge, just like The Wall: both contain beautiful tracks (see What God Wants) but both drown in a sea of self-referentiality and pretentiousness.
    "Look at me, I'm Waters, I'm good and I'm cool," okay, but come on, enough already...
