The sixth album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The return of this band after a thirty years long break... or so I thought... I have now learned that the band released their fifth album nine years ago. An album I have now ordered and will review later this spring. I must have had a brainfade as I am a bit of a fan of this band.... Yes, a proper brainfade.
20.000 Leghe Sotto I Mari, the album reviewed here is a fifty-three minutes long album in the classic RPI mould.
We get some great Italian vocals on the top of some mid-tempo and pastoral RPI.
The sound, although updated, is in the classic 1970s style. That means some good folk rock, Italian pop and symphonic prog influences.
The pastoral parts sounds like Angelo Branduardi. The more mid-tempo parts sounds like Banco and PFM.
The result is a great album. My only gripe is the lack of a signature song, a superb song.
This is a highly recommended album and surely one of the better RPI albums of the year.
