Yes, Greg too.  I'm sure the RPI fans from this site alone have put both their kids through college.

That still sounds like a repeating Sisyphus-like cycle that I seem to repeat about every 3 months or so with Syn-Phonic Records, Jim!

My Ipod crashed a few months back and I'm slowly putting everything back on it, but there's been so many RPI discs that I've all of a sudden remembered, cue me sending an email home from work with - "REMEMBER: xxx title"!

Next up will be the E.A.Poe album, it's been a few years since I dug it out, and I remember how much I worshipped that one!

Indeed Michael.  Festa was one of the very first RPI titles I got from Doug Larson.  I remember those days when his packages showed up....large boxes full of RPI as my bank account melted down.  Good timesLOL

^^^ Love the Festa Mobile album, have not listened to it lately.  Time to break it out again!

Not familiar with the Gruppo work.

On to this one now...one that I really enjoy, but it's a shame the whole album isn't as good as that first track, gets your hopes up!


GRUPPO 2001 - L'Alba di Domani

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=5161



I always loved their single `Messagio' as well, lovely tune!

Top five, that's awesomeClap And thanks for the nice words. My oldest daughter and her husband were in Seattle watching their beloved Dolphins play the Seahawks what a month or more ago. They enjoyed the city, took in a concert too. Oh and they met Dan Marino who was on their flight from Toronto to Seattle. 
I'm surprised I'm not hearing more comments about Moogg's latest. Top shelf stuff.

Just reviewed it and it is awesome. I guess technically it's Jazz Rock/ Fusion but with those Italian vocals I keep mine in the RPI department.

^ I like it too!

I'm also really loving the CAP and Alvaro Fella album!

Lots of great new RPI this year, that's for sure.

I just did listen to it for the first time. Very powerful vivid Prog album.
Needs some more spins, but so far I really like it.

Right back at you, John, love to hear what you're enjoying.

The organ is still as dirty and gritty as ever. The album gets better with each listen. Although I did go back and listen to Il Passo del Soldato--man, what a great album that is!

Il Passo Del Soldato is what RPI on fire sounds like. Clap
I had no intention of picking up Warm Spaced Blue until I read some reviews and man I'm so glad I got it. I had problems with the vocals and violin on their debut but both are scaled back a lot. Really enjoying it. I want to check out Promenade and Il Paradiso Degli Orchi's latest.

Anyone else here really like PFM's Jetlag? I've been really enjoying it, but it doesn't seem to get much love.

As a 30-year Goblin fan, I like it, but I prefer Goblin's Four of a Kind. They're really on fire on that one.

I am trying to get that one but its very expensive...Waiting in patience...Thanks for the recoClap
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
