1974 (RARE) 100% GURANTEED FIRST PRESSING!
THRILLING KEYBOARD ROARING PROGRESSIVE!
LE ORME
In Concerto
ITALY (Silver & Blue) PHILIPS Records -6323028-
TOP COPY! MINT CLEAN VINYL = final collection worthy! Original 1974 first pressing in lavish laminated gatefold featuring Le Orme live & raw delivering unique versions from their early progressive works... In 1974, Le Orme were at the crest of their success wave. The album Felona e Sorona had opened the doors to England, while at home in Italy they were one of the top live acts. A live album was in order, one of the first ones by an Italian rock group. "Collage", Le Orme's first progressive album is represented with "Sguardo Verso il Cielo," "Era Inverno," and "Collage" which should please many, as "Sguardo" and "Collage" breathe easier without the backing orchestra underpinning them like on the studio recordings -- the latter proves to be a crowd-pleaser and a showcase. the other material is from the grand "Felona e Sorona" also with an exlusive versions to this album only. Elsewhere, fans will want this album for the side-long "Truck of Fire," which didn't appear on any studio album. It is a strong song, similar in style to the material released on their 1974 "Contrappunti" album. The album starts off with the above mentioned side long "Truck Of Fire" in two parts. An experimental piece of music featuring drum work and some great keys improvisation. The second part of this number features some pleasant vocals and a dark and scary mood fully reminiscent of Crimson. Overall, this live album has a strange track list. Coming from their second album (released in 1971)."Era Inverno" is brilliantly introduced with a lengthy instrumental part and the whole of the true song is just a wild and psychedelic effort. The best moment of this live record and "Collage" which again is excellent." Sguardo Verso il Cielo " is very dynamic and emotional. The great "Ritorno Al Nulla" is of course brilliant - as it was on the studio album. It is rather strange that only one track comes from their latest album "Felona & Sorona". While their magnificent "Uomo Di Pezza" is completely forgotten - Aldo Tagliapietra / vocals, bass, guitar- Toni Pagliuca / keyboards
