Hello to all. I’m the author of ‘Goblin sette note in rosso’ a ‘monster book’ dedicated to the band Goblin and to the italian soundtracks. The volume is available only in italian but there are a lot of Goblin fans around the world and certainly also in this forum. So if you have questions regarding this band (history, records, best sounding vinyl) just ask me and I'll try to answer!
Fabio

How cool! I guess I will start? I love the EASY GOING stuff, and feel Simonetti essentially laid the groundwork for a lot of later dance and electronic music. For a guy who especially loves tracks like "Baby I Love You", what else could you point me towards in the G-school/family, and do you have information on the recording sessions, technically or anecdotally? Also: VERY interested in the studio-tech side of Goblin, such as recording tricks and equipment/instruments used. THANK YOU!

Thanks Phantasm,
if you like Easy Going and dance/electronic you should listen to the first Vivien Vee EP ‘Give me a break’, Capricorn (I need love, Capricorn), Craabs (Let’s go dancin’), David Zed, The Mask (more disco-rock), Kasso (Key west, Dig it, Running), School of love (That’s the way), Crazy Gang (Every Sunday, We are the Crazy Gang, Computerize, Sunshine shine), Fast Food Girls (Love is my mania). Also search for Walter Martino songs ‘What love can do’ (with a fantastic sinth solo), Garbage can and Turn it on.

I don’t have info about the tech side of Goblin (pedals, ampli, strings, etc). I have a list of instrumets the own(ed) and use(d) but not much more of what you can read on the album’s sleeve notes.

KASSO IS SIMONETTI??
Holy sh*t!!!
I've always been a huge fan of the track One More Round, that's awesome!
Will have to check the other projects.

And man, you'll have to find a way to release that book in english!!!

Sure, Kasso (and Claude King) are two pseudonyms of Simonetti. Claudio has a great imagination for names. The English version of the book is at the top of my wish list but it is not an easy task, the book is massive, 450 pages that actually are 1000 ‘standard’ pages.

I was just wondering something : why is the Tenebrae soundtrack not labelled as Goblin while some other soundtracks with only one member of the classic lineup (like La Chiesa for example) are labelled as Goblin?

Ever considered doing a kickstarter to translate the book?

Guys, I received the book from Fabio (a monster book!) and it is absolutely jaw dropping! I know that he is working for an english pressing, so stay tuned!

Over 400 pages in A4 format!!!

Check out his blog (it is also in english), he deserve support for his incredible work and passion!

Following the depart from the band of Morante, Simonetti and Marangolo, Pignatelli has been the only one to have the rights to use the name Goblin. In 1982, Pignatelli with 'his' Goblin had released the album ‘Volo’ and Pignatelli opposed to publish Tenebre as Goblin, to keep separate the two projects. So a very Goblin LP was released under the name of ‘Simonetti Pignatelli Morante’ and a little goblinesque album under the name Goblin. After the reunion for Nonhosonno the moniker Goblin can be used only with the agreement of Simonetti, Pignatelli, Morante and Marangolo. That's why currently there are no Goblin but New Goblin and Goblin Rebirth.
