I really want the reissue of Le Orme's Amico di ieri, one of the only ones I'm missing... but it's an LP/CD combo! Argh! I only want the CD.
Gotta jump on that new Maxophone too, released this coming Tuesday!

Would love that Le Orme one too, I think I only miss this one and Il Fiume (which is easy to find).
Maxophone is a must buy for me.
Yeah, Il Fiume is a good one, I actually played that one just last week!
Do you think the Maxophone will make it over to the North American vendors, or should I just grab it from BTF now?

I'm sure that Greg and others will carry this one. Postage is rather expansive from Italy to Germany, and it will be much more to the US.
Yeah, I've ordered quite a few times from BTF over the years and it's never cheap. But they are a great shop.

They are, I buy most of my Italian Prog stuff there: I'm sure I finance at least one of their staff

New album by Le Orme will be out at March 22. It's called Classic Le Orme.
It seems to be what the name says, Le Orme tracks sung by a Tenor and a Soprano.
There will be a hand of new songs though.
"Plurima Mundi" have a new album out called Percorsi. I have their first EP from a few years ago which was really good.
Semiramis have recorded a new song (a second will follow) for their live DVD to be filmed in April.
Cerchio d'Oro have finished recording their new album.
Just my two cents but my two absolute favourite RPI titles of 2016 were by Ingranaggi Della Valle and La Bocca Della Verita. I got some flack for not being too into Promenade or Il Paradiso Degli Orchi but that's my tastes man.

Well I just gave an even more unflattering review to Promenade than I think you didJust my two cents but my two absolute favourite RPI titles of 2016 were by Ingranaggi Della Valle and La Bocca Della Verita. I got some flack for not being too into Promenade or Il Paradiso Degli Orchi but that's my tastes man.
I have La Bocca Della Verita here, and I'm very excited to hear it!
OTOH, Ingranaggi Della Valle's Warm Spaced Blue, while still excellent (Gnosis 11), was a bit of a disappointment. It's very much an "international" prog album. As I said in my own notes, it's more of a progressive rock band from Italy rather than an Italian prog rock album, if that makes sense. I enjoyed their debut more, and felt they were one of the best of the newer bands. Now they're more amongst the pack. To be clear - it's a great album - but they can do better I think.
I'm enjoying this one. it's got a distinct my cousin Geddy vibe. I like it

La Bocca Della Verita was one I loved instantly. The bass is upfront and instrumentally it sounds great to my ears. At 80 minutes it's too long but I'll be spending all this week with it along with Mad Fellaz latest which also sounds incredible instrumentally.Well I just gave an even more unflattering review to Promenade than I think you did

I've noticed many who really liked Ingranaggi Della Valle's debut weren't so keen on Warm Spaced Blue, of course there are exceptions to that and the opposite is true as well including in my case. I wasn't going to even bother with it after feeling lukewarm towards the debut but someone convinced me the second one was quite different from the debut. So go figure?
And I'm glad there's at least one other person who feels like me about Promenade.

I am enjoying this album quite a bit. The English vocals are very good.
Still waiting for many of my favorite bands new albums to come out (but somehow refuse to do so)
So in between:
Homunculus Res are working on a new album.
In May there will be the new albums by
SynCage (Bad Elephant Records!)
and
Dropshard
After The Sea by Anèma

How are you finding it?
I'm rather underwhelmed, esp after reading a few very positive comments before listening
Don't have it yet. I usually wait till there a about 4 or 5 CD I want before I order from Italy, as the P&P will be almost
the same as for a single CD.
OK
Don't get me wrong it isn't "terrible", but not great either
Read a few other reviews, one said it sounded like Spock's Beard, (it doesn't sound like SB or the self titled IMO)
I'm going to Terra Incognita in Quebec City this spring. Given that they one of the headlines, I picked Hostsonaten's Cupid & Psyche. I've only listened half way through but they sound like an orchestra. I'm assuming they are all instrumental. I like what I hear so far.
Il Tempio delle Clessidre - Il-Ludere will be out in late April
Also Goad are in the studio again..
LA COSCIENZA DI ZENO and La Curva di Lesmo keyboardist Stefano Agnini has a new album out called Il cerchio medianico.
This one is supposed to be a Prop (Pop Prog) album (what ever that means)
definitely looking forward to some new Homunculus Res, Cerchio d'Oro , Il Tempio Delle Clessidre and Syncage . Curious about whatever this Semiramis thing is too. This thread has been a wealth of good info. BTW, I am one of those that really likes the Promenade CD, nothing groundbreaking, but it scratched a good itch for me.
Another new track by Locanda delle Fate
