The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, electric violin, organ, keyboards and vocals.
This band has so far released four albums. I reviewed their 2005 debut album Nostos back in 2010 for ProgArchives and their third album back in 2015 for # 1 of this blog. I really liked both of them.
I am now reviewing their second and fourth album in the coming days... starting with their second album.
The music is classic RPI in the same vein as Banco, PFM and Biglietto Per L'Inferno. Three very good bands and this one hour long album is in that vein.
The music is mostly muscular mid-tempo with a modern soundscape and some very good Italian vocals. There is a lot of interesting details here and the electric violins adds a lot of spice to the music.
The album is some sort of a concept album as the songs feels more like one hour long piece of music rather than a collection of songs.
The result is a very good album from one of the better modern RPI bands. A band who still follows in the footpaths of the old masters from the 1970s. In short, RPI fans should get this album.
3.5 points
