Io Sono Murple

Murple
release date 2002-05-16 publisher: Akarma Italy
Originally released in 1974 on the BASF label. They only made one album and then disappeared but this is definitely an obscure classic out of the '70s Italian progressive rock scene. A concept album (the music is actually a fable concerning the penguin Murple) with two long tracks that together are a little bit over 30 minutes. For fans of King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Le Orme. Miniature LP sleeve with original artwork.

A trio from Turin, formed in 1970 by keyboard player Alluminio and drummer Ostorero with various guitarists (Guido Maccario, Aldo, Andrea Sacchi, Piero Tonello, then Enrico Cagliero), they only lasted for a couple of years and their only album, Scolopendra, was issued when they had already split. Arcangelo. 2004.

Area
release date 1975-01-01 publisher: Akarma Italy
Originally released in 1975, Area's third album is an eclectic furnace of Jazz-Rock, ethnic Folk, experimentation and an ethically conscious manifesto for the arising of the masses, which made Area an icon of the Italian music scene of the '70s. This is perhaps the best confirmation of the band's crazy fusion: furious, mind-bending rhythms and melodies balanced with humor and the avant-garde. Akarma. 2007.
