The debut album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, keyboards and vocals.
Two guests added guitars, piano, keyboards and vocals.
This is another new band in the RPI scene. The members are around fifty years old and they started out as Stratus back in 1974 before they broke up in 1982 without releasing anything.
The band reformed again some years ago under the Spectrvm name and this album is the result.
The music on this forty minutes long album is mid-tempo throughout. There are also some pastoral pieces of music here. The sound and music is both retro RPI and contemporary. But mostly retro-RPI it has to be said.
There are still some Rush influences from their Presto era in this music too. The band has their own sound which is slightly harder than most retro-RPI bands.
The Italian vocals is good and so is the music. The sound is acceptable but could have been a lot better, more muscular. The sound is the only gripe I got with this album. Check out this album if RPI is your scene.
