![]() ![]() LE ORME's work cannot be compared to anything, many of you will say maybe close to BMS or PFM, but I'll totally disagree. I usually end up my reviews recommending those bands appealed to the one I'm reviewing at the time, but for the first time I won't. "Attesa Inerte" is a gem within another, so moody and powerful, provocative and enticing. This album mustn't be compared to some other pieces from this band or other Italian prog bands whatsoever, I think this recording is a medullar point to compare most of the bands who encouraged themselves to play symphonic prog rock. ![]() ![]() The first album I ever got from LE ORME was "Florian" and then "Ad Gloriam" came to my hands "Felona E Sorona" is completely different from that psychedelic yet absurd style LE ORME seized upon to get known in the prog world. It's not aboutīeing relentless about my opinion, it's just that I just couldn't leave out a single detail from I definitely can't care less about thinking over how many stars I'm supposed to give to thisĪlbum and without hesitating, not once, I came up with the whole five stars. Posted Monday, | Review this album | Report (Review #17875) Without a doubt, "Felona e Sorona" is an essential Italian prog album, and definately the album to start if you're not familiar with Le ORME. The final piece is the instrumental "Ritorno al Nulla" is an all-instrumental piece dominated by synthesizers. A bit repetitive, I took me a bit to get used to. "All'Infuori del Tempo" is another acoustic piece in the vein of "Felona". "Attesa Inerte" tends to be a more experimental piece, with some disturbing use of synths. You can be certain that the inhabitants of the planet Sorona tend to be downbeat and somber, judging on the tone of the song. "Sorona" has a more somber tone, every time I hear this, I can't help but be reminded of PULSAR's "Halloween", although that album wouldn't appear until 1977. "L'Equilibrio" is the closest to them sounding like ELP on this album, especially the piano section.īy the way, on this album, don't buy in to Le ORME as being an Italian ELP, as much of the ELP influences of their previous two albums have all but disappeared. I, for some reason, especially the piano section, got reminded of ENYA's soundtrack album to "The Celts" (her debut, that is), which is weird, since neither of them hardly sound alike, not to mention the more than one decade gap (Le ORME used Moog and string synths, while ENYA used lots of mid-80s digital synths, Le ORME being prog, ENYA being New Age with Celtic trappings). "La Solitudine di chi Protegge il Mondo" is simply a piano-oriented piece with Tagliapietra's unmistakable voice. The next piece is "Felona", an upbeat acoustic piece, with that tone, you can be sure the inhabitants of the planet Felona are upbeat. There are some lengthy instrumental passages here, plus some electronic effects played on Pagliuca's Moog, while Michi dei Rossi goes wild on his drums. The album opens up with "Sospesi Nell'Incredibile", which is by far one of the best things Le ORME had ever done. Without a doubt, "Felona e Sorona" is Le ORME at the top of their game, going for a concept about two opposing planets. They had already released two albums in the prog vein ("Collage", which seems to only get a lukewarm response, and "Uomo di Pezza", where response is much greater), with just three guys, Aldo Tagliapietra, Michi dei Rossi, and Toni Pagliuca (the two guys from the early years had long since left the band). The next Le ORME album I got was "Felona e Sorona", and I couldn't be more surprised how different this album sounded. It was "Ad Gloriam", an odd pick given that album isn't what you call progressive (it was psychedelic pop). Vincent – “St.I remembered the first Le ORME album I ever bought.
