Journey - Opened the Door
The perfect album of the pre-Escape phase 👽
 
Gentle Giant - Memories of Old Days (2012 Remaster)
The peak of Civilian as well as the last trump card of the tranquil drunken giant.
 
Mobile Party - Canto
Another album that I can't define as "minor." Intriguing groove in the style of Gentle Giant (see "La festa di Hon") and that classic sound recorded at "low volumes" that makes everything even more vintage (but not "aged badly," as some Italian and non-Italian bands suffer this punishment).
 
Arti & Mestieri - Mirafiori
Furio Chirico is our Billy Cobham, period.
 
New Idea - Realtà
Pinnacle of the debut alongside the psych prog suite of "Come come come", two tracks that truly have nothing to envy from the Trolls' Searching for a land.
 
Maxophone - Elzeviro
Dark, jazz and folk in just over five minutes 👽
 
Osage Tribe - Soffici Bianchi Veli
Arrow head is an album packed to the brim with fiery jams. The most atomic band alongside Il rovescio della medaglia. The Brits tickle us AHAH.
 
Foreigner - I Don't Want to Live Without You
Here too, the elegant Rundgren-style ballad is the main path. I only save them from the first 3 albums for Cold as Ice, Double Vision, and Head Games; the other tracks are too rock in the Bad Company style.
"4" and "Agent Provocateur" remain the great albums; this closes the career with Heart Turns to Stone and she ▶️
 
Journey - Escape
From the 2nd minute, I would have loved to see a nice featuring with Todd's Utopia!
 
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Dream
Today I'm playing too [JonatanCoe] What cover do I have behind me on the right in the photo? AHAH
 
Wang Chung - The World In Which We Live
Continuing to showcase bands that few appreciate. I’ll start right away with Mosaic, the third album, perhaps “banalized” by “Everybody have fun tonight” and “Let’s go” (well, compared to today’s hits, they’re neo prog…)
A piece like this deserves the love we give to the more complex OMD or Heaven 17, also because the sound and the way of making this slightly funky hi-tech wave is similar.
 
Journey - Winds of March
Aynsley Dunbar is here!
 
Throbbing Gristle - Convincing People
Because if the car ride with your friend starts with the Tubes or Foreigner, it ends with this mood 😏
 
Journey - People and Places
Check out this trip! Here it looks like the footprints of History or legend muahah
 
Journey - Edge of the Blade
...because we Italians have always been a bit un-American...
