I've been enjoying an album by guitarist Marcello Capra, "Preludio ad una nuova alba," released in 2010.  Amazing acoustic guitar!

Marcello was one of the two guitarists on the debut of one of my favorite RPI bands, PROCESSION.  Many of the guitar textures he plays on this solo album are reminiscent of some of the sounds of "Frontiera."  This is not prog necessarily, but it's great music for anyone interested!

Ciao Franz and welcome to the Den.  Congrats on your album, while I'm not exactly a metal connesuir I enjoyed that third track very much, "Spazio".....great album cover shot too!

Anyhow, if you're interested in being on the site, you need to open a thread like this in the "Suggest New Bands" thread further down the forum.  There the metal team would check you out and communicate with you.  Good luck!

Hello friends of PA, i'm in semi retirement mode on this forum becuase i have a lot of job to do in my work, things financially are better but i have much more responsability and besides that, my little girl demands me more time so, i have to sacrifice somethings like participating in the forum (never to listen to music),

The question here is: do somenone knows what kind of bass effect use Stefano Ursa in The Io Come Io album of RDM?

Thanks as usual.

Raffa addresses the language issue in her excellent blog.  Check it out and "bookmark" it while you are there. Big smile

Welcome, Marisa!
Only have 1 Banco - looking for more, just gotta invest in the debut, as I loved 'Darwin'

Marisa, welcome to the thread!

Yeah, most of the RPI junkies around here have gorged on Banco for some time....they are a favorite.  Hope you find lots of good stuff through these forums.  Smile

Good thread. You have some names that I have never heard of that I may check out. Have you heard of Banco Del Mutuso Soccorso?
They are an excellent progressive band from Italy that I have resently found out about.

Listened to LOCANDA DELL FATE's debut no less than three times today. I figured if the Gnosis site rates it as the 14th best album ever to come out of Italy i need to re-visit it. Also listened to LA TORRE DELL'ALCHIMISTA's debut album today which clicks with me in every possible way.Love that record.

I am such a sucker for PFM´s L´Isola di Niente! Via Lumiere gets me every time. From that almost Canterburian wacky start to the pastoral simpleness of the organ at the end - the track is a great example of what PFM could do, when they were good! Anybody else here, who thinks that it is their finest hour?
