Phlexunger Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I just finished watching this PBS special on Italian Americans and even though ultimately I think national pride is stupid and irrelevant I do think that culture plays a part in influence and especially so in music. I am an avid collector of italian music in many forms from 60's 45's of italian music which is mainly funny covers of american music to the vibrant current day underground hip hop of my family s native Napoli. There is also tons of great Italian psyche and Prog rock as well as Jazz and all kinds of music that I think does have a specific italian sound. So that being said how many italian makers of IDM, Braindance etc etc are there here on WATMM ? I know Polysick is from Italy and that netlabel OgreDung is out of italy. I am just curious if there are any italians from italy on WATMM as well as Italian Americans ? Also this thread would be cool if it turned into a list of Italian music artists that make this music that falls under the WATMM radar. Don't worry I am not secretly forming an italian fascist IDM army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Lare Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I currently learn Italian, coz it sounds real nice. In music i enjoy Sciarrino (alive) and Scelsi (dead), both made some of the dopest shit ever, still to be digested by anyone interested in producing fresh sound. There are others, but i'm not familiar with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yikes Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 i am italian american and my family has a home in tuscany You are correct in that there is a ton of great ost/psych/prog/disco from the 60's and 70's -and all of it is very pricey on original vinyl. Record collecting/purchasing in Italy is difficult and expensive if using record stores.Things pop up at fleas and thrifts but not with the velocity of the US. Finally.... some of the best films committed to celluloid in the same era's are from Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
