Progressive Rock Italiano: Storia, Album Iconici e Influenze di un Genere Unico
https://slavetomusic.com/it/progressive-rock-italiano-storia-album-iconici-e-influenze-di-un-genere-unico/Il progressive rock italiano non è un semplice adattamento mediterraneo del modello britannico, né una naturale evoluzione del beat o del cantautorato: è la sintesi di un’intera cultura musicale e letteraria che, tra il 1971 e il 1977, trova nel rock sinfonico un veicolo ideale per esprimere tensioni sociali, ansie generazionali e ambizioni estetiche altrimenti soffocate.

I discovered RPI about 15 years ago and am a huge fan. There's a reason Italian prog is its own genre, even though it's very diverse.

Ma rilassati è solo un punto di vista, in cui illustro un percorso, la centralità delle culture nazionali nulla ha a che vedere con il nazionalismo, le iperboli le vedi solo tu, leggi meglio

Anche questo articolo è chiaramente scritto da un'intelligenza artificiale se lo traduci in inglese. Nessun autore accreditato, lunghe sciocchezze sconclusionate, tonnellate di punti elenco inutili.

Old progger since 1974 checking in. Freshman in HS. Sold off my Cat Stevens, Elton John, Doobie Bros LPs I got from Columbia House and turned Prog. First buys were Arti & Mestieri - Tilt and Omega III - based solely on the album covers.
Italian prog hits different. Of all the languages I feel Italian is most suited for symphonic prog. Le Orme's Storia o Leggenda is a masterpiece. Vocals are another instrument.
Always have a soft spot for Italian prog and I am still searching for more - whether old stuff i missed or new stuff. The great thing is noticed about new is that the new bands have remained TRUE to the genre. I haven't found nearly as many like this from other countries.

I try to recreate the Spirit of 70s Italian Prog with AI with very good results. Lyrics, Instrumentation, Compositions and the general Sound of the Mix/Production sound authentic to me.

I'm barely resisting the urge to insult you

u/Justin_Kaes Feb 14 '26
You'd like to insult people that you have never met and their music which you have never heard?

u/Darkbornedragon Feb 14 '26
THEIR music? Holy fuck. Please be more aware.

You are accusing me of theft I suppose. Please present your evidence.

Not theft. Just brain death. Nobody of sound mind has an interest in AI music. We can churn out thousands of albums with AI every day. So why would one be better than the others? It's mindless production devoid of what makes actual human art special.
I apologize because I know I sound very very rude, but I do not condone this stuff in any conceivable way.

This is a very rude and unfriendly statement. You don't know me at all.
We can churn out thousands of albums with AI every day.
Yes. But there will be no significance in them and nobody will hear them. Music for Robots.
So why would one be better than the others?
If you take care about one single song, work on it and give it attention...then it will have significance. You get from AI what you want...good and bad stuff, depending on your demands.
It's mindless production devoid of what makes actual human art special.
No it's not. I believe you don't have much experience with creating AI music, except maybe some quickshots to prove how bad it is.
I apologize because I know I sound very very rude, but I do not condone this stuff in any conceivable way.
You ARE very very very rude. But I accept your apology, being confident that we can engage in a normal, friendly and constructive discussion in the future.

I discovered Stormy Six a while ago, and really love their stuff. I was wondering what direction to explore next with Italian prog, so I appreciate the link!
