I listened to two albums by Area and really loved the debut. The second one was slightly more experimental, designed to evoke attention in the listener but musically not as good as their great previous one. I will listen to more albums by them .

Cool. I like your 1975 favorite.

Some super 21rst-century Bibbo, a bit old school, a bit modern...Heart 
Give it a try if you have time.

An old Barbaja tune that starts fairly typically before going off the rails into mish-mash. Loved this album. Very playful.

The Barbaja bio newly updated for you RPI fans....cheers. For those who missed it as I did, he released a new album in 2019 after four decades of silence! And it's pretty good too.

The RPI team now only has two members, both of whom have previously voted 'yes', so it seems to me that the band is cleared in RPI. I think we just need a biography and an artist photo, and I expect the addition would then be carried out.

Well, this was a complete mind-frak for me, a Cervello reunion with three original members from the glory days. Corrado has aged well and his guitar skills are crushing it! What a nice CD/DVD document to have of this heavy hitter on the RPI scene.  Heart

How 'bout some Italian prog-metal to get the weekend juices flowing? Band is S91.

A bit of lovely piano melody from Cooperative Del Latte in 2023, the same guys who did "Il Risveglio" in the 90s.

I haven't heard of that, but I will give it a whirl sometime. Hopefully they'll get added.

It is good to "see you" again, Andrea! I hope you are doing well.

Another cool album I'm digging from a few years back....their two most recent albums are not exactly old school RPI, but they are insanely catchy.

Hey Jim!! 
Wow....the AENewman avatar I do remember!  LOL
I wanted to write some reviews again just to see if I could remember how, and that led me to some cool stuff I hadn't heard before and it snowballed a bit. I had no plans to come back to the forums initially, but I dipped a toe here too. The RPI movement is a siren song for sure. I didn't play any for literally years and yet the the love comes right back. We'll see if it lasts.
But I'm still alive....some days, I feel pretty rough, but Lord willin', I'll get a few more miles down the road.

Cheers, bro.  You're in the southeast, if I recall?

Jim!!! So happy to see you here!
I have not been on in quite a while, but still check the forum out now and then and saw your post and had to reply!

I had a RPI weekend a few months back with Panna Freda, Campo di Marte, Semiramis, and a few of the big hitters, PFM, Le Orme, etc.

Will need to revisit Apoteosi again, it has been awhile.

Again, so good to see ya here, hope all is well!
