5 stars A well-deserved name!

The introduction of a person into the rank of the Gods is called an apotheosis. In this case, this is not a sin of pride, this band deserves to be introduced with the greats like Le Orme and underdogs kings like Rovescio della Megdalia or Quella Vecchia Locanda.

Feels good to hear their rich yet easy songs to get into. After hearing Cervello (who didn't blew me away), Apoteosi is more concise, betting more on melody than complexity. Everybody is doing a splendid job but the medals go to bass and keys. The bass is inventive, rapidly fired, hypnotic at times (think Eloy). The keys are varied with grand piano, a very good use of Eminent (like Beau Dommage or Novalis) and ARP synth who gives us great lines of melodic waves. The vocals are sparse, both male and female but in a typical RPI delivery: mostly intense.

Complexity mixed with hypnotic melody and succulent, thick keys solo make this one a sure value if you think you heard it all. A pleasant surprise that could become a new addition in your favorite list.

Between 4,5 and 5 stars, can't decide yet.
