work in progress A Fistful Of Spaghetti Italian music encyclopedia A4 soft-bound book We wanted to publish this book 20 years ago, but we never had all the info needed to do a proper job. Now, having heard everything of repute from this wonderful scene, we managed to organise it into a book format. The basic articles, discographies and layout are all complete. So, it's now up to Steve to do his editorial job, which means there's still a bit of work to be done, but it could be out later this year or early in 2021, if we can get enough pre-orders and raise the funds that is. Once we've finalized the number of pages and sought out some quotes we'll run a fund-raiser. For more info and updates go to the Ultima Thule site web page or join our Italian progressive & underground Facebook group.
