The full list
Discografia:
45 - Violenza/Suggestione (Zeus BC 5032 - 1975)
A group from southern Italy, probably from the Matera
area, Le Onde Blu had a very different sound from what their look in the cover
picture may bring to think. The single is on a very good level and both tracks
deserve a listen..
A few years before another group called Le Onde Blu had recorded a single for
Meazzi (M-01343), entitled E' lunedì/Layla, the latter being an italian
version of Cream's Strange brew. It's unknown whether the two groups were
connected or not.
Discography:
45 - Re Salomone/Aria, acqua, terra e fuoco (Durium LDA 18001 - 1978)
45 - Volare mai/Vecchio mercante (Durium LDA 18050 - 1979)
+ other singles
In a vast production of singles, mostly in a pop style, Re Salomone and Vecchio mercante are among the best prog-oriented tracks for this group formed by one of the founding members of Gens.
Discography:
LP - Invito (EMI 3C064-17907 - 1973)
45 - Alla gente della mia città/Il supremo amore (EMI 3C006-17908 - 1973)
45 - Chi tocca muore/Accanto al fuoco (Basf Fare 06 13327 F - 1974)
A quartet from Rome, that released a 12-songs album and two singles. These consisted of West Coast styled ballads with italian lyrics.
Discography:
45 - Confilandia/Giostra infame (CDF CF 80/0001 - 1980)
Only a single playing at 33rpm for this group, released in march 1980, this included two songs over 5 minutes each, halfway between melodic pop and progressive and built on acoustic guitar.
Discography:
45 - Adamo ed Eva/Un ragazzo, una chitarra (New York DG 1004 - 1972)
45 - Come Adamo ed Eva/Abisso (New York DG 1005 - 1972)
An unknown group that played in a 1970 concert at Kilt Club in Rome,
organised by the Ciao 2001 magazine.
Their
progressive-styled single Adamo ed Eva was released in 1972,
issued in two different versions almost at the same time, and with very
different covers.
Discography:
LP - Oz Master Magnus Ltd. (Tickle TLPS 5003 - 1972)
45 - Lonely people/Lady Lucinda (Tickle TSP 1312 - 1973)
One of many italian groups playing an english-sung mainstream rock influenced by foreign groups, these records are only notable because they were released on the collectible Tickle label, the same as Antonius Rex's Zora album. Apparently this group contained future Agorà members.
