Rumple Stiltzken Comune are the only progressive rock band I know from the Italian section of Switzerland. Despite their background, Rumple Stiltzken Comune sounds most like an English band. Especially echoes of Van der Graaf Generator and Gabriel era Genesis can be heard. While the vocals can get a little clumsy at times, the music more than makes up for it. It's quite complex, and not an easy listen. It's fully involved as they say. 4 very long and convoluted compositions. If you like your music dense and difficult, while employing the classic 70s analog rock instrumentation, then Rumple Stiltzken Comune is one for you to seek out. I quite enjoy the album myself.
Ownership: CD: 2000 Black Rills. Purchased new near the time of release. Fine reissue with photos and a short history. No bonus tracks. This was my introduction to the album. My copy shows a numbered edition of 250, and mine is #243. However the Discogs version does not have this indicating it may have been repressed.
