L ANNO DEL CONTATTO

I Modium from Italy is a young band who love the sound of italian old school prog, being influenced by bands such as PFM, Le Orme, Banco, etc. In 2019 was born their first baby L'anno del contatto. A perfect album for italian prog sound in our time, being highly melodic and romantic in aproach but aswell has plenty of complicated twists for such music. With pieces like PFM (Per Favore Musica) or Sorona dove sei are clearly with direction towards PFM and Le Orme musical past and present. The band has excellent guitar player Elvio Tavian from Quasar Lux Symphoniae who done a grerat job here, like the rest of the musicians aof course.

All in all a fairly strong debut, nothing special or never heared before music, but well played and pleasent from start to finish.

I Modium is another good RPI band that brings the spirit of the ;70s in today progressive rock realm. Well worth to be heared and a far better recognition then has here.

From me , easy 3.5 stars
