Great to read Andrea C. his wonderful, sheer euphoric review (thanks for the Italian lyrics explanationsClap) about the new La Maschera Di Cera cd and Ivan his very positive review about the first Triana album, another proghead who discovered the Prog Andaluz?!

Retro bands...get a life and do something new!
 
I love prog but regressive music is not good for anyone, I see a bright horizon for music that escapes the conventions of classic prog but only if people ascribe to it. Like I said on another post "prog is not independant of culture" and the culture does not support the elements that made classic symphonic rock good. Stop using the past as a crutch and start innovating.

Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

This album is so full of musical ideas and there are various msuical textures to it, a spectacular show of both musicianship and compositional skills. I need to listen to it more, to really know this from head to toes.
 
Yes, it appears to be a very convincing album!
 
Lots of stunning musical ideas, catching atmosphere, wonderful variety!
 
P.S. Did you notice the winged red demon (with horns)  behind the church's glass?
BTW, ADE is the god of the deads...LUX is the latin word for LIGHT...two opposites....................a new FELONA e Sorona???
Thanks for the info on the album's name, I was intrigued by this.
I only now notice the demon Embarrassed Usually I inspect covers with much attention but htis time I missed it.

I have it/ Heard it on;y 3 times, but it seems to be very good. Need some more listens though, since it is packed with so many musical ideas and lengthy songs.

Once I heard the debut album, wonderful music but there are so many good new Italian bands! I just got the first Doracor CD, splendid symphonic rock with great keyboard sound  !

Djam Karet (latest effort "Recollection Harvest" is excellent symphonic)

I will search it out!

Echolyn (if you don't know this band, pity you)

Totally agree! Great stuff.

Magellan

Very nice stuff though is hit and miss for me.

Land of Chocolate

I need to hear more

Mastermind

Good huh?

Thirteen Of Everything (go get "Welcome, Humans" immediately!)

Genesis inspired symphonic neo-prog. I like it but it's not on my top 10 new bands list.

The Railroad Underground

Underground Railroad sounds good. Have not bought it yet.

Syzygy (The Allegory Of Light" is simply fantastic and should be in any prog collection; best US symphonic rock band?)

OH BOY do I agree. VERY good stuff here. Technical (like ELP and Dream Theater) but also very melodic.

Lands End (although more to the psychedelic side - but try out "Natural Selection")

I will check them out!

Great List! I am always trying to find new music, thanks for the recomends!

Great contribution, Dalt99!

Retroheads made a wonderful album, see my review on this site.

I hope to listen to Tim Morse this weekend.
