Orme - Il Leone e La Bandiera CD (expanded)
SKU
33-N16
This was originally presented in a little bit of a confusing way, so here’s what this is, to the best of my ability to translate Italian and very poor English!
This is the latest Orme studio release, originally released in late 2023 only as part of a box set entitled “... and Friends”. The box was made specifically for them to sell off of the merch stands of their tour and, although we managed to get some, it never was in the stores because it sold out before doing so.
It features the current line up of the band, and it very much sounds like Le Orme and is quite a great progressive rock album, especially for a band with a nearly 60 year history!
Finally, now, the album itself is finally available on its own in a numbered, limited edition of 1,000 (oh, how far the industry has fallen).
“Il Leone e la Bandiera is a concept album (musical suite). This album talks about Venice, the city that gave birth to Le Orme and is a musical tribute to a city that is born from the waters, like an imaginary ancient deity. In short: "Il Leone e la Bandiera" is an album that has won over Le Orme fans, both historical ones and new listeners, thanks to its ability to combine past and present, tradition and innovation, in a work that celebrates the history and beauty of Italian progressive music.
The beginning of a story that will become legend.
This CD edition includes two unreleased live tracks (taken from the last tour).”
