Homunculus Res - Ecco l'lmpero Dei Doppi Sensi (2023)

The fifth album from this band from Italy.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, glockenspiel, bass, guitars, organ, piano, keyboards and vocals.

Numerous guests added oud, guitars, moog, organ, keyboards, woodwinds, flute, whistle and vocals.

This band is without any doubts one of the most interesting, and indeed musically challenging, bands in the Italian progressive rock scene. Their debut album was a sensation.

The scene, and indeed myself, has now got used to their mix of baroque pop, folk rock, jazz (Area) and classic RPI from the 1970s.

The Italian vocals are as usual very good and the music on this fifty minutes long album is intriguing and very interesting. It can be debated it the music is rock at all or just progressive music.  

I still think this is progressive rock and very much RPI. 

These fifty minutes never stops to amuse, bemuse and surprise the listener. The music is also very good.

This is another very good album from one of RPI greatest and most interesting bands.

3.5 points
