    The thing about records like Jumbo's Vietato, Il Balletto's Ys and Cervello's Melos is that their overt manic power was equalled by an almost energetically emotional aura. These aren't only near-hysterical albums, they're intensely beautiful as well. Procession's Frontiera sits safely among these.
    Oh, I agree. Jumbo's Vietato, Il Balletto's Ys and Cervello's Melos occupy honored spots in my Little Italy. Today, I will play all three in honor of my scissor collection, quarantine, and your passion for their passion.

    That encompasses my reading of Don Passos.

    He needs to be reread.

    I agree again. I read Passos's U.S.A trilogy and Manhattan Transfer in the aftermath of 911.

    I do loooove Il Balletto - YS very much. Never heard Cervello yet. Jumbo : I'll probably get more accustomed to his voice with repeated listens. The music sounds great.
