Cover art

I think it was my colleague Mike McLatchey who once jokingly said that in Italy in the 70s, there were more prog bands than there were fans. As such there were plenty of fine bands who fell through...

Reconciling the Souls of Prog —
The AltrOck Interview

Cover art The terms we use to define music can have fluid meanings. For instance, in the 70s "pop music" was an umbrella term encompassing Cat Stevens, King Crimson, and Frank Zappa. Nowadays, almost no one would call King Crimson pop. Another case in point is "progressive."

But nowadays these two souls of progressive music no longer live in watertight compartments as they used to do in their heyday. A new Italian label was founded explicitly to reconcile symphonic and RIO-influenced music: AltrOck, launched in Milan by Marcello Marinone and Francesco Zago. With its groups ranging from Flanders to Siberia, from Argentina to Italy, this label is a sunbeam in the lifeless Italian musical landscape, more and more dominated by bland, tasteless talent shows. Here is our interview with Marcello Marinone.  » Read more
