not to mention their beautiful suites, "Un Dos Tres" seemed to last 17.57 seconds while "Gelato Al Cioccolato" was around 27.32 or thereabouts... :)))

Dave, and "Ad Gloriam," where do you put it? (besides the fact that all the albums by Le Orme are masterpieces)...

Excellent observation, my Lord! :)

zaireeka, I don't understand what's written here, can you tell me? ______ Back to the album: Dave, I gave you a 5 for the choice and the love you have for this band, but you overlooked important details about this album and the period: the first is... this was the first album featuring the very young guitarist/bassist/violinist Germano Serafin (who passed away in 1992 from leukemia, if I'm not mistaken), who would stay with the group until the 1980/81 biennium, and the second detail is... the album was recorded in London! Yes... I like to be meticulous when talking about le Orme... :)))

I only know them by name, and I listened to the track "Marta Helmuth" by Garybaldi... simply amazing!!! Afterwards, Fossati will form the Bambibanda e Melodie or a group with a name like that.

Great review Dave, huh! You're as biased as I am… I can’t help but give 5 to this magnificent album… Dave you’re amazing, keep it up because you're strong! _______ zaireeka you’ve intrigued me now I’m going to check it out…!

Rec sufficient. I unfortunately still have to listen to the album...

Antonio, from the little I've talked to him, Michi seems like a guy who always jokes around... even while playing, he keeps the audience engaged... I don't know if you get what I mean... maybe that thing about "Felona e Sorona" said that way was just to "divert" from the usual questions people ask him... maybe who knows anticipating a reaction like the surrounding people and then a thought like yours...

Great the Reverse of the Medal!!! Have you ever heard "Sodom and Gomorrah"? A track that is part of the band's first LP: "The Bible"... Enzo Vita gives his best on the guitar... I haven't listened to this album yet, the rec: you could have said much more, but for the choice I give you a nice 2...

Do you know Aldo? At the concert (to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band!!!) held two weeks ago at "Stazione Birra" (Rome), I talked to Michi (who, by the way, signed an autograph for me on the cover of "Collage") and I asked him if he knew what had happened to Nino Smeraldi (the first historic guitarist of Le Orme), and he ironically replied, "Who is Nino Smeraldi?" Shortly after, another fan intervened and asked him the same question about Tony Pagliuca, and Michi gave him the same answer he had given me, then seriously telling him that Tony has not been in touch with Le Orme since 1992. While for the others I had to settle for a handshake, I waited for Aldo, but he didn't show up, and so I had to leave (after 3 hours of concert, it was almost one o'clock, plus there were 9 other people with me... so you can imagine...) DAVE, now I'm listening to the self-titled first album by Gentle Giant, do you know them?
