Felona e Sonora was the third album by Italy's Le Orme and a progressive rock masterpiece. Based on the concept of 2 planets orbiting in the same cosmos with very much contrasting personalities. Felona is the "Happy planet" while Sorona is the dark moody forboding planet .
This 2011 remaster package is a great way to re-enjoy or enjoy this magnum opus with the original Italian sung version and for the first time the English version. I would stick with the original of course as the results are similar to other bands who tried this...RDM did it with Contamination.....Banco did it with Banco......PFM did it too with Photos of Ghosts. Although the English version is interesting the Italian sung version is better. The English version is ripped from vinyl as I guess the English master tapes were lost, but the original version sounds wonderful. Some nice photos and detailed liner notes in a small digipack fold out replica of the vinyl album.
Musically Felona is beautiful from start to finish with a ton of great guitar, bass, drums and a ton of vintage keyboards. Felona is 70's space prog with great melodies and songs all contained within a concept album format with epic musical imagery. Each song builds on the story and each songs is carefully pieced together.
If you dont know Le Orme then this is a GREAT place to start.......
