Hunka Munka Rock Progressivo Italiano Review by emkogceo With a name like Hunka Munka, a release date, and a toilet bowl on the cover, you'd probably expect some drugged out psych-beat stuff here. Review by memowakeman Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator. Be the first to review this item Amazon Best Sellers Rank: It is well done and enjoyable if that description sounds appealing to you, but it will not be enough to satisfy heavy Italian fans or heavy prog fans in general. There is a nice command blending the keyboards and orchestration present with some acoustic guitar and a romantic Italian vocal.

It gets fairly intense for a bit. Muore Il Giorno is the song that closes the album with a very nice mood, actually it is a happy song with some vocals harmony and a poppish feeling again.
I would even argue his drumming here is superior to anything he did with Osage Tribe. Dolce mela - 7" hunkz cover. Il Canto Dell'Amore sadly doesn't return to the proggy side of th album, it follows the same poppish line as the previous songs, anyway it is not bad but i thought it would feature more challenging moments.
Excellent,masterful and romantic organ- smashed classic Italian Prog this is! Io Cantero per Te starts with some kind of classical arrangments followed by some heavier guitars, then when the vocals enters, the song becomes really soft and again with a poppish feeling, i could even say it becomes in a ballad, but despite having nothing to do with prog, the people who love the Italian language, will love this song. Both tracks are far from necessary RPI but they are not bad at all and should appeal to RPI fans who like song based Italian pop, which can often be surprisingly good.
The BMG reissue features the toilet seat hhnka that opens up like on the original vinyl. That is now given.
Adding to Cart...
Ruote E Sogni 5: His only solo album, Dedicato a Giovanna G. The alum first album by legendary Italian band Le Orme dates back towhich implies that this delightful work is influenced by the psychedelic '60s and flower power rather than the progressive '70s.
Nasce Un Giorno 1: Loading recommendations for you.
While the singles are fairly light fare in an Italian pop style, with a bit of the 60s vibe left over, you can hear where Carlotto would be heading soon. My final grade is 2 stars, just for fans. In the early 's the collaboration with keyboardist from Calabria Joey Mauro, talented user and repairer of vintage keyboards, for the proposed revitalisation of the Hunka Munka name, didn't gave any result. There are many philosophical and literary references, as well as instrumental passages, This turns into a slow ballad that will be sappy to many who hear it but I don't mind it.
Here's a fine CD-release of wonderful contemporary Italian prog sounds, full of organ and mellotron. Please consider supporting us by disabling your ad blocker.

The moods are upbeat and a bit overplayed in that dramatic love ballad way. Hunka Munka Rock Progressivo Italiano Review by emkogceo With a name like Hunka Munka, a release date, and a toilet bowl on the cover, you'd probably expect some drugged out psych-beat stuff here. Luckily this augmentation doesn't last too terribly long, and in some cases actually adds a cheerful tone to the album. The BMG reissue features the toilet seat lid that opens up like on the original vinyl.
This CD-version comes as a wonderful papersleeve edition.

Hunka Munka | Album Discography | AllMusic
The keyboard and church organ sound is close to Keith Emerson's sound too. But this is still a very good album which deserve a bit more exposure. With a name like Hunka Munka, a release date, and hunk toilet bowl on the cover, you'd probably expect some drugged out psych-beat stuff here.
An extrange nickname indeed, oh sorry i skipped that, Hunka Munka is not the name of a band, but an Italian and talented musician called Roberto Carlotto, albim i don't know why did he choose this terrible nickname, and if i am not wrong, according to my memory, he was also member of I Dik Dik later. A notable contemporary prog release from Italy, with nods to ELP, avant-garde and the late '60s-early '70s Canterbury scene.
Next one is Catedrali di Bambu is a very nice song that has acoustic guitars alubm a magnific orchestration, this song is VERY RPI, and i am not referring exactly to the progressiveness, but to the sound itself, some of you know what i mean, sorry if zlbum not clear but anyway, this is without a doubt one of the best moments of the album, and one of my favs as well.
