🎼5 April 1973. Some months before I was born, Le Orme, fantastic Prog Rock band from Venice, #Italy, release their 4th album Felona e Sorona, still today in my opinion the best rock album ever come "out of the #Lagoon". πŸ€ŸπŸ”
#LeOrme members, Aldo Tagliapietra, Tony Pagliuca and Michi Dei Rossi were 3 local musicians at the peak of their career, they were part of the unrepeatable Italian Prog Rock era of the early seventies which, with far less technical and promotional means, developed along with the contemporary monumental British Progressive Rock scene. #PeterHammill, at the time leader and mastermind of the famous band #VanDerGraafGenerator, became a big fan and friend of Le Orme and collaborated with them for this album, by suggesting its title and translating the lyrics for its English Version, and for their following UK Tour.
I post the entire record, since it is a concept album telling the story of two planets, Felona and Sorona, which simply can't live without each other, one being in perennial light and the other in perennial darkness. It would not be great to extract just one song, plus the whole sound of this record is incredible still today 😳, more if you think it was 1973! πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸŽΈπŸŽ™πŸŽΉπŸ₯πŸŽΆ

"We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead"

πŸ“€ Felona E Sorona
#ProgressiveRock

50 years ago Le Orme from #Venice, #Italy released their 4th studio album.

It's a concept album about the story of 2 planets, Felona and Sorona, which would never meet but can't live without each other, one being in perennial light and the other in perennial darkness.

Felona E Sorona was undoubtedly the most crucial album in #LeOrme career.
#PeterHammill, at the time leader and mastermind of Van Der Graaf Generator, became a big fan and friend of Le Orme and collaborated with them for this album, by suggesting its title and translating the lyrics for its English Version, thus paving the way for their following UK Tour.

🎧Listen to Felona E Sorona πŸ‘‰ here
❀️‍πŸ”₯This is probably the last photo of #KurtCobain in a "normal" and leisure day.
It's taken inside the Colosseum in #Rome on 4 March 1994, few days after πŸ‘‰ Nirvana last concert in #Italy.

Back to his hotel that night Cobain nearly took his life and was saved by Rome hospital Umberto I after 3 days of coma.

#Nirvana had already stopped their tour due to Cobain medical conditions.
After these days in Rome, Kurt and wife #CourtneyLove flew back to Seattle... and it all came to an end on that #5April of 30 years ago.
