Fairlight-CMI

Good to see that I am not the only one who think those albums are 
great pieces of art.
I am always looking for other acts/albums of that period who worked 
in that kind of fashion with the cmi.
I can recomend the Alice "park hotel" and the Fiorella Mannoia "di 
terra e di vento" album as great works of that period.
a must for serious cmi lovers.  : )
