    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?

    Most likely they have to avoid some financial risks. It's not like you will earning Millions in Prog business.

    Lables like Aereostella (owned by PFM members, and even PFM are now on another lable) are inactive for more that a year now.
    Mellow Records have given up on releasing new stuff and are just selling Air music on bandcamp (and had to even restart this
    one under a slightly different name recently).

    Some other things to come:

    Out next week: Semiramis Live 2CD/DvD feat. 2 new songs (R.I.P Maurizio Zarrillo)

    In the studio:
    Lateral Blast - No Time, No Space
    ALLUMINOGENI - METAFISICO (was announced as a Trilogy years ago) (There was an EP with the same title years ago, that was rather awful)
    Moongarden

    Agreed, tough business out there these days, I'm pretty grateful for any stuff that still gets released.

    It looks like the links re-direct you to the sites (in Quartech's case their Facebooksite) from the bands, so I don't know if this is an actual shop.

    They usually organize Prog concerts in Italy with often Scandinavian bands mixed with Italian ones. I think they try somehow to support the bands they worked with.

    Time to revive this thread. I searched the forum but did not see Aliante being mentioned here, other than in reference to Le Orme's song. Here is a very cool track off the new release "Forme Libere":



    Aliante is a trio comprising of Enrico Filippi (piano and keyboards), Alfonso Capasso (bass) and Jacopo Giusti (drums) - TheH and other experts would recognize the last two as members of the Egoband.

    RYM has an album (on High Tide) by a band called Aliante from 1997 which Mauro Moroni has rated, so it may be the same band.

    Did a bit of research on Filippi but the only thing I could find on him is a musical project called AdE that did mostly Genesis covers.

    Thanks for keeping up the thread!

    I noticed Aliante a few months ago (Egoband are also still active and had a new album not to long ago), but I'm a little to busy with other things to post
    everything I find. I think they do nice instrumental stuff but I wasn't overwhelmed. (maybe I get a little choosey as my CD collection is exploding)

    There is of course a lot of unmentioned stuff out there like: Forty Days, Trauma Forward or Verganti (and many others)

    Very nice - will probably pick it up when it becomes available through our regular North American distributors. I also liked your Trauma Forward recommendation. Was not aware of the band. Looks like a 2016 release too, so I guess I am late to the party.

    Do you have any links for Forty Days? That one I could not locate.

    Thanks for educating us on so many good things.

    The Aldo Tagiapietra album is simply excellent! Thanks for the link.

    I tried to buy the CD off of Bandcamp. The CD was reasonable at 15 Euros but the shipping was 11 Euros so I couldn't justify paying $38 Canadian for one CD. Oh well.

    The violinist Mauro Spinazze still plays on the last track of the album. Here is an older recording of the track from a concert in 2014:
