So now that I have the album I must say I really really like it, not all the songs are in the same quality but they are all good with a few song that are excellent!

"Come una Zanzara" is great indeed. It's a shame they only recorded two albums.

I don't know both albums very well, but I think that Parapsycho is better than Raptus.

Pierre! I bought he remastered CD's of this one and another Doris album called `Raptus' a few months back, I've only listened to them briefly, but I remember one was realy good and the other average - I just don't remember which one! Will have to play them both again!

Essere is next. Big smile

It is good from the Youtube clip I played of it, Sagi, sadly there's only expensive CDs and original LP's of it around at this point! Badly in need of a nice new affordable (mini LP?!) ressiue!

I wonder, is it a true reunion of the original members?  Will the Zarrillo brothers both be there?

I found this, a real treat.  If you scroll down toward the bottom you will see 3 old old color photo snapshots of Semiramis in their rehearsal space.  Wow!

Semiramis seem to have reformed and will at least play a concert in Rome in September.

There will be a Banco live 2CD (with a lot of guest vocalists)
also in September.

Seven years after the marvelous "Neo" I had lost all hope for that to happen..


How good is that album, H?! I give it quite a workout pretty often!

Definitely will look into this when it's released!

What have been your particular favourites this year so far?



To me "Neo" is the strongest Retro Symph Prog album of this millennium!
Absolutley wonderfull perfectly balanced Album.

My favourites of this year? Hard to say, a lot of good stuff.


I enjoyed a lot of live Albums and DVDs by 70s bands.
(Museo Rosenbach, Alphataurus, Maxophone, RDM, PdP, Nuova Idea)

I love the remake abum by Latte Miele.

From the "new" bands it would choose "Aurora Lunare" as the best so far

But they are closly followed by:

Entity
Astrolabio
LogoS
Nodo Gordiano
Syndone
Greenwall
FEM

There is quite a number of others I really like too.
(nad most likley I have simply forgotten something)

Still have to get the new AdC.

A list I keep of what is still to come:

Promenade - tba (Altrock/Fading)
Barock Project - tba (about 75% recorded)
Breznev Fun Club - tba (Altrock) (half of it is recorded (for 3-4 years now)
VIII Strada - Babylon (if it is ever going to happen)
Il Tempio delle Clessidre - Live in Korea DVD (still with Galifi)
Fonderia - tba
Egonon - "IN VITRO" (mixing)
Abash -tba (mixing)
Lagartija - tba (mixing)
Narrow Pass (recording)
DAAL - "Dances of the drastic navels" (with Tirill Mohn (White Willow) and a 30 min Suite)
Gran Turismo Veloce - tba (with Tony Levin, Colin Edwin, Craig Blundell and synphonic orchestra)
Cherry Five - Il Pozzo dei Giganti (No Joke!!!!!!!!)
Delirium -L’era della Menzogna"
Spettri - MMCMLXXIII…LA NEMICA DEI RICORDI
