The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, bouzouki, keyboards and vocals.
This is the follow up album to their very good 2019 debut album.
It has taken them five years to release the follow up. A world wide pandemic, which hit Italy very hard, may be the reason for parts of this long break.
The debut album was a classic RPI album. It was true to the good old 1970s RPI sound and ideas.
Altrove continues down the same path with, again, some superb female vocals from Emanuela Vedana.
The music is mid-tempo to pastoral. There is a lot of piano and keyboards here. The music has some folk rock and pop influences.... just as the music from the likes of Banco and PFM also had.
The Italian vocals also gives this three quarters of an hour long album a lot of elegance too.
The music is very beautiful and very good throughout this album.
The result is another very good album from this band who surely must now be regarded as one of the best new RPI bands.
Get this album.
3.5 points
