Oh, man, Jude, got me in a spot here!

Hard enough for me to choose my ten favourite ALBUMS, let alone tracks.

I'll have to give it some thought and report back lol!

I started to explore the realms of RPI quite recently, but it will be long before I'll finish it; there is quite a lot to find here.

Some great tracks (no ranking yet):

The King of Memories - Il trono dei Ricordi

La Chamadere (Peccato d'Orgoglio) - Alphataurus

Progressiva Mente - Alphataurus

L'Occhio del Ciclone - Mario Cottarelli

L'Enorme Abisso - La Maschera di Cera (can be listened on progstreaming now)

I heard Quella Vecchia Locanda's albim Il Tempo della Gioia for the first time recently, this has quite a lot of great stuff. And I don't mention some Italian eclectic prog bands in this list (Akt, Profusion) - I limit myself to bands in the RPI genre here.

My head thinks in albums not songs, making this almost impossible without going through almost every album first.

"Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

Hey, you discovered Evasione too.

It's good, isn't it? Simple but compelling.
