Il Balletto di Bronzo
📀 Ys
#ProgressiveRock #RPI
50 years ago Il Balletto di Bronzo from Naples, #Italy released their 2nd and final studio album entitled Ys.
The album, as often happened in those years for Italian Progressive Rock underground bands, had poor consideration and sales and IBdB disbanded soon.
And as often happened Ys was rediscovered and appreciated many years later like the entire RPI scene.
Ys, sang in Italian language, is a concept album about the last man left on Earth, who makes a hallucinating journey split in 3 encounters, before tragically disappearing in the dark, as happened to the mythological island of Ys swallowed by the waters.
#IlBallettodiBronzo in this album were:
Gianni Leone - vocals, synthetizes, keyboards
Lino Ajello - guitar
Vito Manzari - bass
Gianchi Stinga - drums
A female choir member was Giusy Romeo, in the 80s she became a famous pop singer in Italy, under the name of #GiuniRusso.

Locanda delle Fate
📀 Forse le Lucciole non si Amano più
#ProgressiveRock #RPI
45 years ago Locanda delle Fate from Asti, #Italy released their debut and only studio album before disbanding (the band reunited 20 years later).
Forse le Lucciole non si Amano più came out towards the end of the most prolific and experimental period in Rock history: the Progressive Rock era of late 60s and 70s.
This album was almost ignored and #LocandadelleFate had no commercial consideration.
This is though the perfect finale for all those years, a heavenly romantic hidden gem and a true absolute masterpiece!!!
Locanda delle Fate in this album were:
Leonardo Sasso: lead vocals
Ezio Vevey: guitars, vocals, flute
Alberto Gaviglio: guitars, vocals
Michele Conta: piano, Moog, clavinet, synthesizer
Oscar Mazzoglio: Hammond, piano, Moog, synthesizer

#ProgressiveRock #RPI
50 years ago Pholas Dactylus from #Milan #Italy, released their debut (and only) studio album in the 70s, the band would in fact split soon after, to reunite 40 years later.
Concerto Delle Menti is a musical journey divided into 2 sides-parts, to me really a hell of an album!
Vocals in Italian are entirely #SpokenWord, a psychedelic narration on biblical and apocalyptic visions abruptly cut at the album's end.
All accompanied by a guitar and piano driven crescendo in which elements of #JazzRock, #AvantGarde, #HeavyMetal, #SpaceRock and surprisingly #KrautRock (#PholasDactylus toured in fact only with Amon Düül II in their short life) perfectly coexhist.
In this album:

#Pooh recently played in St. Mark's Square, Venice for their first time. That was probably one of their last concerts after an extraordinary 60 years career (despite the name chosen for the band...).
Most people in #Italy only know (and want to hear) their many Pop hits, few remember they also were part of the unrepeatable 1970s #RPI scene...
This song has more than 50 years (1973), it's about the last thoughts of a pilot while his airplane is falling down.
"L'anno è il 73, il posto è il cielo artico, l'ora che senso ha..." ❤️🔥

50 years ago, in an undocumented date, Picchio Dal Pozzo from #Genoa, #Italy released their self-titled debut album.
The band was founded by Aldo De Scalzi, key figure for the development of Progressive Rock in #Liguria and #Lombardy regions. He owned a studio and record label along with his brother Vittorio, founder of New Trolls, and in the years worked with Latte e Miele, Museo Rosenbach, Alphataurus, Pholas Dactylus to name a few.
After finally publishing
👉 Celeste debut album that year, De Scalzi gathered with friends and collaborators to record and release this album which is considered unique in the Italian Progressive Rock panorama.
#PicchioDalPozzo is rather different from all #RPI releases, often associated with the #Canterbury scene (the album is in fact dedicated to Robert Wyatt) and even compared with some of Frank Zappa's finest compositions.

🎸🎶 It's election period here in Venice. The city will have a new mayor next month.
What a perfect timing to meet Luca, a young guitarist co-founder of a local band called The Mayor Is Stoned🤘😁
I was astonished to find out that behind this funny monicker, there's a young band that takes you 50 years back, when #RPI (Rock Progressivo Italiano) was one of the most respected and praised music movement of that unrepeatable decade.
#TheMayorIsStoned perfectly blend late 60s Heavy Psychedelic Rock influences with 70s Jazz Rock vibes, to me reminiscent of the British #Canterbury scene and Italian acts such as Osanna, Area, NapoliCentrale, Maxophone.
Great and suprising band, unique in the local scene I would say, if you are in the area don't miss their live dates!!!
