Io tu noi tutti (Me, you, all of us) is the tenth album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in March 1977 by Numero Uno. Recorded in Hollywood, the album was Italy's second best selling album in 1977.
This band, led by guitarist Terutsugu Hirayama (who was originally with the band Novela) has an extremely powerful symphonic sound somewhat reminiscent of mid-period Renaissance, but more extreme in every way. Their sound is positively stunning. Yes, there are vocals all over their albums and I don't understand a word of them but I don't care. Vocalist Megumi Tokuhisa is a chameleon of sorts, within the same song she can switch from sounding like an innocent child to a very dynamic and powerful singer. Of the three albums, the first (Egg) is probably the easiest to sink your teeth into, but the third (Fable) may be the most musically sophisticated, moving away from the neo-prog sound and more into the area of bands like The Enid. Hirayama also has a solo disc Castle of Noi that is similar in style and pre-dates the other three (i think). Rumor has it that in concert they are every bit as powerful as one might be led to believe by their recorded output.
