How To Make Moonstone Maplestory

GIORGIO Lane - only between atoms

With this last post in January 2011, we return to the Songwriters' 70, a true mark of origin and for this period, a constellation Music proudly 'Made in Italy'.
A character from 'behind the scenes', upstanding professional, anonymous and probably just re-evaluated today, a true songwriter who has written a great sound in my opinion now difficult to find.

From Milan, then in 1970 young GIORGIO LaNeve, future electrical engineer, peered nel cantautorato nazionale .
'Armato' di una chitarra e della poesia , si fece timidamente largo nell'establishment musicale popolare , con il Folk , Leonard Cohen , Fabrizio De Andrè e George Brassens , probabilmente , come idoli pagani da venerare e prendere per modello .

La 'prima volta' in ambito discografico ebbe luogo proprio in quell'anno , dopo esser stato scritturato dalla Philips , diede vita al suo primo omonimo album "Giorgio Laneve" , che lo vede in chiaroscuro in una copertina , un po' alla maniera del Caravaggio , crepuscolare ed obumbrato , munito del suo strumento .
Il disco del 1970 resterà , secondo me , il suo apice discografico e lirico , con all'interno intimi , introversi e delicate songs like "Looking for pink blue circles," "Chronicle of the city," "What about you", "Love came to my room tonight" and "Love Where Art Thou?" .
This last song (very beautiful song that will be his 'hit' as known) will be carried out as 45, with the melancholy and great "I am a wanderer" in the B side of the individual.
With this song, Lane will present the important manifestation of the 'Disco for the Summer', again in '70, alongside the most celebrated and renowned artists such as Reitano, Dorelli, Nomads, Berti, and many Gagliardi others (a total of 54 songs in the race, a real event).
The twenty-three, George Lane, beating criticism and adverse ruling, given his young age, he will place surprisingly among the twelve finalists (coming eighth, "Lady Barbara" Renato will be the winning song of the Prophets), bringing the front pages and hard-era audiences.
At first, the Milanese singer will be approached, a little 'to the aura of shadowy narrator, the figure unmatched by Luigi Tenco, who died a few years earlier in 1967, a comparison of everything wrong, always an argument rejected by the same Laneve .
must then point out that this comparison had a value very 'positive', because the same Tenco was not 'appreciated' from national magazines (entertainment, music and gossip), due to the introverted nature and his incredible 'rudeness', disinclined in the interviews and be photographed, not to mention his views 'against' the political and social system, now prevailing since the war.
In 1971, George Lane recorded a new single again for the Philips, entitled "The legend of the silver sea," with retrobrano "He opened his eyes," two genuine musical poetry that will end in his second 33 laps "Love is the Law," a disc that floats between the real and unreal, release much 'positivist', in which everything appears as a bright energy, where everything is reborn.

Opera important, in some respects 'cosmic', which are different (besides the two songs already mentioned) the songs are worthy of note, including a poem by Poliziano 'adapted' in musical key.
Autocostruitosi his working instrument, guitar, George Lane has always said that they feel 'Pop' in the usual sense of the term, but at the same time wanting to detach from the label of 'intellectual tout court', which uses difficult words but want to talk about the problems of the individual with the words 'beautiful'.
In 1973, Lane moves to Decca and released their third longplaying, 33 laps "A little practice ..." In this cover image in 'the negative', with his inseparable guitar.
Album also remarkable that contained the wonderful "When you search for the words," "The black man," and the song "Beautiful marchioness," Laneve made by the same translation of the song "Marquise" by Georges Brassens.
The following year, Lane decided to pursue a different path, music for children.
Interest 'fairy tales in music' would 'hit' in the same year, another great hero of Italian Song, Blanche Dubois with the album "It takes a flower" released in October '74 (Lauzi is also venturing in that direction, in the second part of his career, with considerable success by the way). Posted by Decca
always comes out as "Viva fantasy", a pleasant drive in which the sweetness of voice and approach 'Fabero' to nursery rhymes (for another already in the debut album, "The Knight and the Lady" for example) do the rest.
The new road taken by the singer-songwriter Lane, will have its sequel two years later, this time with a new label, Divergo Ricky Gianco.
In 1976 he released "Accents" album that addresses issues such as war and peace, ecology, solitude, with the vocals sung together by Laneve and children's vocal group 'The Green Apples' and the music clean and orchestrated, with the support of the battery, whether naively Funky at times.
This record remains to this day her latest album.
public in 1981, with the arrangement of Gianni Bobbio, a 45 on RCA containing the letters "Nasya Inspector," a TV show, also for children.
Piero Ciampi said he would "have all the credentials to be an artist," but George Lane, a gentle and persuasive voice leaning on the structure 'simple' only appearance created by his guitar, will be considered more just give up the their tracks in time, unfit for general public the media, for all those 'camouflage' song writing in a cultural phenomenon, a fad and nothing more.
A great singer, solitary 'bum' on the guitar, too soon forgotten and put aside. Followers et
Dear Visitors, then let his rock music, away from everyday stress.

Gentle and Forgotten Chansonnier.

Mariano's Frozen Margaritas Mix

KARNAK - hidden entities

After aver letto un interessante articolo su quello che reputo l'attuale miglior magazine musicale Italiano (mi riferisco alla testata Blow Up) , in cui si evidenzia la rivalutazione attuale del periodo Synth Wave/Post Punk degli '80s , con nuove formazioni ed artisti oscuri ormai datati , in certi casi di 'secondo piano' già allora (un trend musicale nuovamente in voga sembra , soprattutto negli Stati Uniti , 'ribattezzato' furbescamente Minimal Synth Wave o Cold Wave ...) , mi sono 'tuffato' nuovamente in determinati ascolti (per me all'epoca , seppur giovanissimo , fondamentali) , ripescando alcune 'entità' ormai nascoste e perdute in ambito del sottosuolo nazionale .

Dopo aver dedicato alcuni post ad importanti (o meno , secondo i punti di vista ...) rappresentanti dell'Underground Italico , ho pensato di metter giù un altro post (niente a che vedere con la Cold Wave sopracitata , che reputo valida ma non troppo , 'pompata' oggi dai media di settore e dalla rete , come è stato nel caso del cosiddetto 'ElettroClash' qualche anno fa , forse più del dovuto ...) dedicato ai nostri '80s Indipendenti .

Un tormentato e fulgido esempio di Post Punk Italiano , un gruppo dalla discografia minimale , che probabilmente risulterà misconosciuto anche agli 'addetti ai lavori' , ai più intransigenti e 'Curtisiani' amanti del sottobosco Wave '80s del Belpaese .

Provenivano , ancora una volta ('aspetto' I'm very proud of) from the capital of the Renaissance and the Fine Arts, 'Guelph' Florence, Karnak, which were part of that underground musical movement that raised the city of the lily in the news nationally and internationally in the years '80s.
Along with a large group of artistic projects, which in summary assembled clubs, discos, fashion, visual art, music, and who has so forth, this group of boys participated in the activity with all the passion of music and the arts as possible without have adequate financial means and probably paying for everything from his own pocket, as is often needed to be done in that period. With the most popular
Litfiba, Diaphragm, Neon (to mention only the most 'popular' reality Florentine period) and other local bands, the Karnak had a busy concert schedule, often of support, which then became a reality with the production of a single vinyl, a seven-inch for Electric Eye Records, thanks to the mixing of Marcello Michelotti (frontman of the Neon), was printed in 1984 under the title "When the doors are closed" and contained only three pieces (the title track, "Saqqara lights" and "Northern tempest" ), the sound typically Dark / Post Punk, tribal influences from 'Albion' (the first Banshees, with some sections 'neworderiani', those of "Movement" for instance) and 'elective affinities' related to Egypt of the Pharaohs (the name of the band continues the temple of Luxor, including the cover of the disc confirms this).
On the Electric Eye Records, one must remember that it was an important independent record label et fundamental Italian, founded in 1982 think about Claudio Sorge, whose ranks they landed in the most diverse projects, from garage to Wave Rock, Industrial Electronic sound from the psychedelia, with many bands counted in it (to name a few Not Moving, Victrola, Effervescent Elephants, Sick Rose, the Boohoos, Polyactive etc ...) in the period from about 1982 to the early '90s, whose album "Gathered" (1982) was the very first compilation Wave Rock National Independent of the decade.
The Fiorentino Group was composed as follows: Francesco Cosi (vocals and sax), Francesco Caldini (guitars), Pierluigi Soldiers (bass) and Andrew Bellucci (drums), with the help of Sonia Butini (on violin).
'Anonymous' perhaps today, in a period in which it occurs, and luckily, a sort of 'resurrection' historical music of those years at the time were frantically Karnak the present, however, Florence was a 'milestone' of nightlife 'on stage' of the local Underground, with frequent passages through the main radio Radio 'Free' local, I mean ControRadio, still in operation, another 'historical memory' of quel lontano periodo .
Circondati 'da un sintomatico mistero' , dei Karnak si sono quasi del tutto perse le traccie .
Personalmente lo reputo un vero peccato , devo ammettere .
Scrivo 'quasi' perchè alcune 'impronte digitali' sono tornate a distanza di moltissimo tempo .
La prima traccia la possiamo trovare sul bellissimo box (contente quattro Cd) , edito nel 2007 dalla Spittle (etichetta che si 'prodiga' in fantastiche ristampe) , cofanetto dal titolo "Silence over Florence" (che credo sia già andato quasi esaurito , visto le non molte copie stampate ...) al cui interno possiamo trovare i Karnak con una sorta di 'opera omnia' contenente il loro unico vinile più altri eccellenti brani dal vivo e tratti demo tape allegedly from (including me like to remember "Drivin 'to Lubyanka", "Swinging In The Deep" and "Persepolis's Maze"), a case that, in my opinion, deserves' find' at all costs.
The second track of Karnak is the beautiful "nervous breakdown", a project that explores the '80s rock scene Wave Italian license plate, a CD and a DVD with music and interviews that summarize that fabulous decade (personal opinion, because 'lived' in side ...). In the chapter about the scene Fiorentina, Francesco So you review Karnak with its live and a brief interview. Other purchase
'forced'.
A time long gone, in which the passion for music, the smell the 'new' (fashion, literature, media, etc ...), the 'ri'cambio generation, tired of an extremely politicized as the previous decade gave rise to many forms of art and of life for many young (probably still 'tied' to that experience, like myself, but I guess now you know ...), which shows how the imagination, creativity and very few financial resources available (telephony, digital, network had only imagined the future as the science fiction of 'Urania' and Asimov then ...) so they could 'fruit', not even in economic terms, but simply as part of socialization, fun and togetherness of the town as possible.
Along with many youth teams (Jeunesse d'Ivoire, Dark Tales, Art Boulevard, State Of Art and many others, wrongly considered 'minor'), the group of Karnak then participated closely with the concert, in a more than decent to that artistic movement, while leaving little material vinilitico inheritance.
Given the 'revaluation' of certain sounds 'niche', at the international level, as I wrote at the beginning of this post, I found it fair to say that training has my opinion, really should be 'resurrected' from oblivion, unknown to most of today's young audiophile 'highly trained' as regards the web and I hope very curious to try a music time 'innovative', now difficult to recover if not completely lost.

Heroes in the Wind.

Get Facial Hair On Poptropica

Luigi Greco - The Country Road

For the series 'unrecognized and forgotten,' Staying on the theme of 'brothers' musicians.

From Veneto, Luigi De Gregori Padovano, aka Luigi Greco, is a guitarist and songwriter, Italian activities in the middle of the '70s, still 'on the road', but little remembered and celebrated by the media in general, probably because from the very 'start has been' overshadowed 'by his younger brother, born in Rome instead, a' this' Frank Sinatra's' Rimmeliana 'memory.

The young Louis grew between Pescara and Rome, where he attended the High School and later studied English literature at the University at the same time he learned to play guitar and a passion for Anglo-American Folk and Country music, then making many travel (a long and important presence in Ireland remembered in the song "Dublin").
the mid-'70s, he decided to pursue a musical career as a folk performer in the famous Folkstudio in Rome, a local history as the place of formation of all the so-called 'Roman school' of singer-songwriters, where he made important contacts with illustrious colleagues like Fabrizio De André and Edoardo De Angelis, accompanying on guitar even Joan Baez was already well known, during some of his television appearances on RAI.
The cost of living and the need for economic reforms and a more solid basis, probably convince him to move to Milan, where he keeps working as librarian (like his father).
Hired as a stage name of the mother's surname Grechi, published the first of 33 laps longplaying titled "Accused of freedom" in 1976 on the PDU label (label of Italian Switzerland, founded by Mina).
In the album there are some parts more convincing than others, including "My coat", a song of his most representative, then "Mattmark", "Men of the North" and the title track.
public in 1977, for the same label, self-titled album "Luigi Greece", which also contains two unreleased songs of his brother Francesco, meaning "red coral" and "The road has flourished," a disc when you feel a greater adherence the ballad American population.
Always with his brother, Greeks signature song "Dublin", published in the third and final album for the PDU, entitled "How are you?" , Released in 1979, produced with the participation of well-known musicians such as Roberto and Lucio Colombo 'Violin' Fabbri (already in a previous post of Pinzillacchere Music), where near a classic like "blind guitarist, stands a translation of" One of Us Can not Be Wrong "by Leonard Cohen, entitled" The Golden Rule. "
A varied album with a sound closer and closer to Folk Country Rock sound American, with Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt among the likely sources of influence.
Greece is 'censored' by the PDU, for a song (Presumably "Polmonidipiombo and Panciacromata"), a tough call to action in Seveso, maybe the worst environmental disaster in Italy, and after a long silence, followed in 1987 album "Dromomania" published by CBS.
In the meantime, however, continued his concert career, collaborating with artists such as Peter Rowan, Bluegrass and Country and American guitarist with the famous poet of the Beat Generation, Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Luigi Greco is again no record deal, and always in the company of guitarist Ricky Mantoan, decided to make a self-produced cassette entitled euphemistic "Chance", published in 1990. The records also contain
la prima versione della sua canzone più celebre , "Il bandito e il campione" , ispirata alla storia dell'amicizia tra il celebre ciclista Costante Girardengo ed il bandito Sante Pollastri .
Tre anni dopo , nel 1993 , ironia della sorte , il brano "Il bandito e il campione" viene ripresa da Francesco De Gregori nell'album dal vivo (la canzone sopracitata è l'unico inedito) , vendendo oltre 500.000 copie .
Nello stesso anno , Luigi Grechi si 'consola' , in quanto per quel brano gli viene assegnata la targa per la miglior canzone dell'anno dal 'Premio Tenco' .
Nel 1994 trova il giusto contratto per la Sony Music , pubblica allora la sua versione ufficiale del "Il bandito e il campione" , insieme ad altre canzoni nuove e alcuni aggiornamenti di materiale dei primi album ormai irreperibili , all'interno dell'album "Girardengo e altre storie" .
Nel 1999 esce "Cosìvalavita" , forse il più chitarristico dei suoi lavori , contenente brani inediti ed ancora alcune canzoni precedenti con nuovi arrangiamenti .
Nel 2003 pubblica l'album "Pastore di nuvole" , registrato dal vivo nel suo studio personale con lo stesso gruppo di musicisti che lo segue nei suoi concerti (chiamati la 'Bandaccia') , disco di nuovi inediti , ricchissimo di chitarre (elettriche , acustiche , pedal steel guitar) e fisarmoniche , con alcuni brani degni di nota , tra cui "Venti gradi sotto zero" , "Stivali e Tequila" , "Le vespe" , "Supergatto" and "What do you want from me."
In 2005 they self again, a mini-CD containing four tracks already edited and rearranged, with the title "Champion of no value", with the aim of making available its material, now difficult to find.
In 2006 participates in the implementation of the second album by Andrea Parodi and the following year, still autoproducendosi, released the CD "Rust" a real version of 'scope' of the previous mini-CD, a recording 'home' full of warmth , which produces material no longer available for some time.
Influenced by America, both the rural and desert, his Country Rock is the music blends with both the Irish folk song e popolare Italiana , esperienze vissute sulla propria pelle attraverso la Musica .
Ormai 'rimosso' dalla stampa e dalla critica musicale , LUIGI GRECHI resta un personaggio piuttosto atipico nel panorama della Musica Italiana , che non ha mai voluto 'emergere' per la popolarita' , ma semplicemente esprimersi e cantare fatti reali e quotidiani .
Augurando nuovamente un buon 2011 , Vi invito ad un rilassato e comodo ascolto di questo bravissimo e dimenticato Artista .

Old Country Rocker Dylaniato .

Novelty Cakes Sailing Boat

OLIVER ONIONS - 'Columns' Scores

The first post of 2011.

light-heartedness and fun, a 'legendary' duo that has raged with their own soundtracks and television themes, the Italian music in the '70s and '80s.

From Lazio, more precisely from Rocca di Papa, in the mountain community of the Castelli Romani and Prenestini, the Oliver Onions (brothers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis), are perhaps even today among the least celebrated authors of soundtracks for films and television series, 'signing' other works also as Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, M & G Orchestra and other names (Oliver Onions was the name of an English novelist, Sir George Oliver Onions, was chosen only because it seems the two words are pronounced as they write, the pen drives that characterized themselves most successful).

The two brothers began their career as a guitarist, after Maurice graduated in composition and harmony, while in-depth guide to study the flute.
Firmly convinced to proceed with the profession of musicians, founded the first Black Stones, then changing Guido and Maurizio.
The beginning of their musical career dates back to 1963, when they can release their first 45 laps la CBS , "Un vecchio macinino" , singolo pubblicato appunto come Guido e Maurizio , entrando in seguito alla RCA , dove iniziano l'attività di arrangiatori , in coppia ma anche singolarmente , ma continuando comunque ad incidere .
Nel 1966 pubblicano per la ARC un album con sonorità Beat ("The Beat Melody" , pubblicato con il nome The G & M) .
Dopo il '67 sempre come 'turnisti' , ebbero modo di registrare in varie orchestre per molti importanti compositori tra cui Ennio Morricone , Riz Ortolani ed Armando Trovajoli oltre ad essere apprezzati arrangiatori per diversi cantanti Italiani di quel periodo (tra cui i Beans , Lucio Dalla , Gabriella Ferri , Nicola Di Bari) .
Nel 1970 , grazie alle celebri acquaintances had, came into contact with the great and now late Nino Manfredi, arranging the famous "Just pe 'singing'" and composing their first soundtrack, "By the grace received", starring his beautiful Manfredi, getting a deserved success .
Among the many scores that have taken care of, those of the films of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, as "They Call Me Trinity" and "Martial Law", "We're Mad" (the 45 taken from the soundtrack, "Dune Buggy, one of their biggest hits), "Even angels eat beans," the series of films of Bud Spencer only ("Big Foot the cop," "Big Foot Africa", etc ...) and many other.
their work are also the soundtracks of several popular television series and cartoons, transmitted by RAI since the mid-'70s until the late '80 's, many hit singles as "Sandokan" (1976), "Zorro" (' 75), "Orzowei" (1977), "SOS Space 1999" (1979) and others.
Their song "Santamaria" had some success, especially in Germany in 1980.
The entry of two brothers in the world of cartoons, has produced many acronyms such as "Galaxy Express 999", "The cat Doraemon," "Rocky Joe" in 1982, which was followed by "D'Artacan" in 1983 and "The Small World with Willy Fog" in 1984.
A career and a discography rather complicated for these fine composers, despite never having written 'masterpieces', the music of Oliver Onions have surely accompanied the days of many children and adolescents at the time, was impressed by memories seemingly simple tunes, worthy of a just appreciation today.
