Didn't the band offer up several of their albums for free download a few years ago? Pretty sure a link was posted here on PE. Not that they'd still be available now.

here is one for you

With some effort I've managed to pick up all DeM CDs this past year (never paying more than $30-35; in my experience you've just gotta be (a) patient and (b) do some good sleuthing, not just checking google's first page of results), and all I can say is wow. I'd reviewed the two on cuneiform, so the prospect of a new one - any time! - is exciting news. I'm not overly fond of their first two albums - ok, but not great -but think they found themselves truly with this disc. What an absolute stunner.
I, fortunately, have all but the most recent two albums of theirs on CD. Hoping to find them both, if anyone has any suggestions?

If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
I have all but the self titled 2nd album and the 2nd live one. De Republica is my favorite and one that I play quite regularly.
Later ones I find they go more towards fusion, although they're quite good I like De Republica more because I feel the rock factor is higher.
I also share enthusiasm over the prospect of a new album, especially since keyboardist Ricciadello is back with the band.
This may be a dumb question but how can the band offer their early albums for free but not be able to do a proper reissue?

please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.

... and I v got a spare copy of Imparis, if anyone is keen...
I share your feelings about this particular album. Though I'm ok with Piras most of the time. I like the vocals in DEM much more than the vocals Area, who inspired Piras (the vocals are the primary reason I hardly ever play my Area discs)
If you wanna give em another try, they *did* do an album with a bit less vocals and more instrumental stretching out, it's called Equilibrismo da Insofferenza.

Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Brilliant album by one of the best post-90's prog bands!
Great prog, prog-fusion with a touch of avant-garde from time to time.
World class chops by every member. Great compositions. Incredible energy. Amazing live. The complete package.
I saw them live 5 times.
The best was at a tiny bowling alley turned bar/club in Highland Park, Ca called Mr. T's Bowl.
Maybe 50 other people max were there to experience this incredible night of music.

And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
Love this band. Looking forward to anything new.
haha maybe so. Anyway we DID talk about it a couple of months ago in a meeting, i did my best to persuade them, they sounded positive, but again, you never know.
"hot blooded" people, damned italians! LOL
Maybe you could try to ask them again yourself, two pokes are better than one

The danes are sometimes called the italians of scandinavia, and that allegory makes sense here. In 1999 Kraan albums were all OOP, and Kraan didn't own the rights either (now they do), AND the guitarist Peter Wolbrandt was completely broke. I (and a friend) had just made the Kraan.dk fan site - So in the name of anarchy we contacted Peter, asked him if he would design an album cover for a live boot CDR from Copenhagen and make & sell this and the OOP CDR's for the fans who asked us all the times. This worked fine for a short while, I think Peter sold quite a lot - then (off course) The rights-owner contacted us to stop the boot, and shortly after the albums got reissued.
Happy ending.
This thread got me spinning Imparis last night. What a great album! I think that every album of theirs has something to love, so it's time to revisit all of the 5 that I have. I'm missing "Deus Ex Machina", "Non Est Ars Quae Ad Effectum Casus Venit" and "Diacronie Metronomiche."
On one hand I'm grateful I could get my ears on this album with the download off last.fm --- but damn if they dont have all those mixed up and out of wack. Some tracks are live cuts from other albums and whatnot --- and for me a total disaster. If I'm missing a song from the album I freak... oh well. I'll take what I can and shut my face. lol Having not heard this one I'm blown away. Its hot! Love it. Now to get it proper and spend a couple bucks.
