Excellent early-70's Italian progressive trio (still around today) with
classical stylings, featuring keyboards to the fore and a unique
dreamy/powerful style. Le ORME was one of the three major Italian groups, the
other two being PFM and BANCO. This band is usually considered as the Italian
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER and even BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO by the Italian
singing. Its music is based upon organ developments and soli reminding
Seventies groups which works are essentially built upon keyboards parts.
The band's truly classic period begins with their third next releases. "Uomo Di
Pezza" (1972) is one of Le Orme’s definitive Italian progressive rock albums.
Although there is definitely an significant EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER influence
here, as in the bombastic Moog and Hammond workouts countered by mellow
balladry. It's not quite as integrated a feel as would characterize their next
two albums, "Felona E Sonora" and "Contrappunti", though its fantastic
nonetheless, and one of Le ORME's three essential albums. "Collage" and
especially "Florian" offer a music tinged with classical music. "Felona E
Sonora" (1973) is probably one of my top favorite Italian progressive rock
albums. "Contrappunti" (1974) is another fantastic Le ORME album, and really
the close of their classic trilogy. This album would effectively close out the
band's streak of success.
"In Concerto" is an excellent live album from 1974 with many unreleased tracks.
"Piccola Rapsodia Dell' Ape" is more recent, an excellent mixing of Progressive
and Italian baroque music. "Collage" and especially "Florian" offer a music
tinged with classical music. In 1993 the Japanese progrock label Crime Records
released the 2-CD Live ORME with live-material from '75-'77. An far more
captivating document than "In Concerto" from '74.
Their story goes on. After PICCOLA RAPSODIA DELL’APE (1980), in 1982 the band
decides to break up. In 1986 they rejoin only for concerts but in 1990 a
further work is issued (ORME). In 1992 Tony Pagliuca leaves the band, replaced
by Michele Bon. That year they obtain the title of best Live-Act band seen in
Italy. They never give up symphonic prog and their further works show it
clearly. In spite of the success obtained by their live performances, in 1996
they publish a suite (IL FIUME). After obtaining a great success at the Los
Angeles
PROG FEST and at the PROG EAST in Quebec, they commit themselves to the new
work which will be finished in 2001 (ELEMENTI). This latter, together with IL
FIUME, will be part of a trilogy completed, in 2004, by L’INFINITO. The
trilogy, a mix of songs and instrumental pieces, tells about the mankind
through the 4 elements of the universe. In 2005 they are invited at the
NEARFEST concert in Pennsylvania. Their music may well be considered as a
continuous commitment in PROG ROCK: over the last 42 years they never gave up
their passion. They also tried to convey PROG Rock to the people by
participating to song contests such as Festival di Sanremo, a very popular TV
music happening in Italy. Le Orme is one of the few foreigner bands who have
been produced by a British label. The Famous Charisma Label issued FELONA E
SORONA in English, lyrics by Peter Hammil, after their tour in England in 1973.
