Thank you all for the kind words. Opel, I hope this dark period passes without leaving too much pain behind. P.S. I don't know if you've listened to the other KBB albums, but if you haven't, give "Proof of Concept" a chance. "Intermezzo" (track 4) is perhaps one of the most moving compositions I have ever heard.

Welcome, Jukan. The music proposed by this group isn't exactly to my taste, but Nobuo will always have my unconditional respect for having created impressive soundtracks like those for Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI, as well as Chrono Trigger. As for that colossal masterpiece of a soundtrack known as "Final Fantasy VII O.S.T.", I don't think there's much to say, except that, at least for me, it is his best work. In fact, his finest work.

I wrote this kind of review a while ago, impulsively, as soon as I saw what had happened. I couldn't comment on it briefly, so I opened the notepad, listening to KBB, and started typing letters. The rest came naturally. I hope no one finds offensive or out of place what essentially wants to be a greeting. A greeting that I couldn't make earlier or in a simpler and perhaps more appropriate way.

Grasshopper: If you appreciate Phil Collins as a solo artist, I would give "Product" ('79) a chance too...

@Grasshopper: I would start with the fantastic "Unorthodox Behaviour" ('76), then move on to "Morrocan Roll" ('77), "Livestock" ('77), and, as the good Jake points out, "Masques" ('78). In this case, the chronological order seems to me to be the most fitting :)

What a group! Great, Jake ;)

Thank you Muso, Ole & Green! @Ardalo: I think it would be more accurate to say how many zeppelins have shot me down :) Unfortunately, I have the bad habit of fixating on a piece when I haven't heard it in a while. I had it on repeat for a couple of hours, so I went around on the zeppelin about twenty times. The problem is that when I went to bed, I heard everywhere "Dicono tutti che è colpa mia... mhmhmhmh." Yesterday, while looking through the reviews favored by commentators I didn't know, I stumbled upon "Arbeit Macht Frei" (in Xyz's tab) and I thought: "Why not?" Now I understand why not, hahahaha! Thank goodness I didn't watch "le Milleuna" otherwise by now I'd either be in a comatose state or I'd have thrown myself off a bridge...

I'm glad you like them. Just make sure to give them the time they need, as they always gain more value (even if it's implied when talking about prog).. Hi Oma :)

Thank you Templare & Opel! Hymnen, you absolutely have to understand that I'm joking.. If I really had something to reproach you for or to take issue with (and why should I?), I would tell you privately with a message. I'm just having fun using a "know-it-all" tone in front of your austere and somewhat cold demeanor.. I know you express your opinions (of course) and you have a rather unique way of doing it.. That's all, I’m not against you! :D If this seems absurd to you, know that I've been listening to "L'Abbattimento dello Zeppelin" by Area and Mister Demetrio all evening, so, unfortunately, my already few neurons will be definitively obliterated after another couple of listens, rendering me, in the near future, much more incomprehensible than now (just think about it) :p

Thank you so much again! Hymnen dear, I certainly don’t want to engage in a discussion with your superior and unassailable knowledge, but I must tell you that many children from the kindergarten have confided in me that they decidedly prefer "Ruth..." over later works, like "Nothing Can Stop Us" from '82... If this clashes intolerably with your vision of the universe, well, take it up with them. As for Robert's thoughts (and as nice as it is of you to want to take them so faithfully literally), it’s not the first time an artist, despite having created excellent work, is not fully satisfied with it; just think of the good Steve Hackett, horrified by a colossal masterpiece like "The Lamb...". That said, to avoid curses and anathemas tearing my house apart, I feel it necessary to clarify that all I’ve written, aside from the sincere initial thanks, should be understood from a purely "Pickwickian" perspective :p
