Le
Orme
πŸ“€ Uomo di Pezza
#ProgressiveRock #SymphonicRock #RPI

50 years ago Le Orme from Venice, #Italy released their 3rd studio album Uomo di Pezza.
This album marks a change in the band's sound towards a more Symphonic Rock style and will lead to the future Progressive Rock masterpieces of the band.
#LeOrme first introduced Synthetizers in Uomo di Pezza, the songs are generally more delicate and sophisticated with melancholic lyrics and vocals, describing a helpless masculine attitude, juxtaposed to an unknown, inscrutable feminine universe.

Le Orme in this album were:
#TonyPagliuca – keyboards, synthetizers
#AldoTagliapietra – vocals, bass, guitars
#MichiDeiRossi – drums, percussion

Special Guest
Gian Piero Reverberi
(later #RondoVeneziano) – piano on track 1
#Venicemusic

πŸŽΌβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯ #LeOrme have just published this beautiful video. The song is part of a heavenly suite completely dedicated to their hometown: Venice.

"Acqua di Luna" is contained in their last and final album released 2 months ago after a crowdfunding (this fact tells a lot about the "state of the art" nowadays!) as Le Orme & Friends, to conclude and celebrate a 55 year long career.

Drummer #MichiDeiRossi, today the only original member of Le Orme, is joined in this album by many musicians, most notably by former keyboardist #TonyPagliuca and by members of #Osanna.
#AldoTagliapietra, Le Orme founder, singer and guitarist, was invited but sadly (for us) declined.

They just announced the Farewell Tour in 2024 so... who knows, will we be able to see the 3 original members together again? πŸ™

In the meantime... #VeniceMusic

πŸ“Œ5 April 1973

Le Orme
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.

Heavenly ❀️‍πŸ”₯

In this album:
#AldoTagliapietra - vocals, guitar, bass
#TonyPagliuca - keyboards
#MichiDeiRossi - drums, percussion

πŸ“ŒLate 1974

Le Orme
πŸ“€ Contrappunti
#ProgressiveRock #SymphonicRock

50 years ago in an undocumented date, Le Orme from #Venice, #Italy released their 5th studio album.

Recorded in August 1974, Contrappunti is possibly the most complete album in #LeOrme classic discography.
Complex instrumental compositions alternate with the typical Italian "canzone" in a contrasted crescendo that leads to the epic, haunting finale "Maggio".

If you can instantly fall in love with their previous πŸ‘‰ Felona e Sorona, Contrappunti requires more and more listenings to be fully appreciated. Amazing album ❀️‍πŸ”₯

In this album:
#TonyPagliuca – keyboards, synthetizers
#AldoTagliapietra – vocals, bass, guitars
#MichiDeiRossi – drums, percussion

Special Guest
#GianPieroReverberi (later
πŸ‘‰ Rondo Veneziano) – piano, producer
#RPI #Venicemusic

The amazing melancholic ballad "Amico Di Ieri" became one of the most known and successful singles for Le Orme.

The album partly deceived fans and critics and #LeOrme themselves would not consider it "a work to be proud of".

Probably it's because I'm a rocker, but I totally love this album, one of my favorites from them ❀️‍πŸ”₯

In this album:
#ToloMarton β€“ guitar, vocals, harmonica
#TonyPagliuca – keyboards
#AldoTagliapietra – bass, acoustic guitar, vocals
#MichiDeiRossi β€“ drums, percussion

This is the last Le Orme album produced by Maestro #GianPieroReverberi.
