Very interesting band (never listened) come from Venice (Veneto - Italy) with only one album in 2012. They won the prize "Omaggio a Demetrio Stratos" in 2010, before to produce the album!!!

A four-piece jazz-rock band (but on F.B they say they are 3 members) with some King Crimson's reaches and surely more influenced by RPI, Picchio Dal Pozzo, Canterbury Scene. I like it so much. Sometimes they remember me an Italian rock band CCCP (not a prog band), especially in the spoken parts. 

The first track is very interesting! 
Another fantastic song is "Olio Su Tela" . Unfortunately I can't find a link for you to listen it.

Biography
LITAI: born in February 2008
Composed by homeless musicians, 3 strange guys give life to a young rhythm session States. In their hearts the first prog animated by music of our times. Their debut album is a miracle just like their lives. And rabbits.

*(I don't know wath they mean with "and rabbit" at the end.
*If you write the name of the band you can read some reviews on other sites
*If you want more info:

Thank you, Marco!

For some reason (although I might be wrong),I have a feeling the name is familiar, and the Italian Prog team have already looked into them?

I'll ask the other members I work alongside and see if they can help fix my memory!

Listening to that `Vadapianov' track right now, very impressive stuff! I'm wondering if they might be more at home with the Jazz/Fusion group, but we'll see!

Thanks, I and the RPI others will report back!

Now checked their MySpace ... very heavy Zappie songs. 
Anyway their YouTube videoclips remind me something different ... more avantgarde Crimson meets Area-y heavy jazz rock.

Fantastic stuffs. Approve

EDIT: Wow, Mike's ninja'd me. AngryLOL

Thanks for the suggestion Marco, and for the feedback Michael. The RPI Team looked at this outfit last year but we voted on a ''move'' to JR/F. The jazzers subsequently rejected the band. Whether another team would want to pick up the suggestion, I don't know.
 
Edit: Ninja'd!

MArco, this might makes things easier for people to listen to the clips!







Will post when we've discussed.

8. Kamasutra Gong   - 03:56
 
It appears that only four of the myspace tracks are actually from the album (tracks 2, 4, 5, & 6) - the other two on myspace are called 'Martello' and 'Ruina', which seem to come from elsewhere.
 
Here's the band playing live:

You need to leave out the space after the E in the first [TUBE].  Seventhsoujourn only included the space there in his earlier post to prevent the software from reacting to it as if it were an actual instruction to embed a video.
