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: https://www.facebook.com/pages/litai/104118692970158 http://www.youtube.com/user/lllmlllmmmmmmh *(here there are some songs) https://myspace.com/litaiband *(here you can listen 6 of the 8 tracks album) Litai - 2012 1.

Anyhow I thing a good listening, all 8 tracks. I've proposed them  ...Could they Belong to P.A.?? Hope yes...Marco. |

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

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!

Ah HA!!!! I knew the name was familiar!
Wow, I would have thought J/R/F would have been ideal for them!

We need to evaluate them with their whole album, methinks.

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: Excellent review of the s/t debut album on progressor.net: http://www.progressor.net/review/litai_2012.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.progressor.net/review/litai_2012.html |

| 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. |
