Io sono Murple (I am Murple) is the first studio album by the Italian progressive rock band Murple. It was released in 1974.
It's a concept album based on two long suites divided into six movements each that tell the story of the penguin Murple who, to escape the unchanging everyday of his life, decides spontaneously to move away from the herd and from its natural habitat. Unfortunately, it does not have time to enjoy the wonders of the world. Murple is captured by humans ("Nessuna scelta": No Choice) and forced to perform first in a circus ("Tra i fili" - Between the wires), then in the zoo ("Antarplastic") where it will end its days trapped in a small plastic iceberg.[1]
