Guys, there's something you should be on the lookout for...one of the best debut albums from an exciting young RPI group....I think Andrea has posted this on this blog page before, but you need to see this:

Unreal City:



Just inspires me seeing a bunch of good-looking youngsters who've totally overdosed on classic RPI while bringing youthful energy.


Surprising. I did a search for this band, who released an album in January and are touring Europe right now, but after the above (from 2013) they were not mentioned in this topic anymore. Not good enough, or just forgotten?

No, not forgotten at all, Angelo! Just...you know, so many bands, so little time!

I've recently placed a prog order from Syn-Phonic in the States, their new CD is in that order, just waiting for it to arrive! I've heard the newie, though, and it's just as good, if not even better than the debut!

It is a very good album, for sure. I missed their gig in The Netherlands, but once a new date is available I'll go see them in Antwerp (Belgium). Nice people, great album. There are some photos and videos of their Dutch gig here on Background Magazine.

Easy man, easy, RPI's addiction is real Evil Smile

Between September, 2011 and December, 2012, I bought more than 300 CD. I took a second job, then a third. But buying Cd’s wasn’t enough. I was so obsessed by that music that I had to see Italy, walk in the streets of Rome with Banco, or settle down at the Florian Café of Venice with Le Orme. I went to these towns, then Naples, Capri, Milan, Pisa, Bologna... My last day in Florence, in a records store close to the Duomo, I met Mister Maurizioi  Pieri, the producer of the Kay Hofman's record : Floret Silva. He showed me photos of him at his studio with Jacqueline Darby and members of Pierrot Lunaire. I knew that my quest was finished.  I was delivered from my RPI obsession and could return home and live quietly. 

But it's so late. 3 o'clock in the morning in Paris. I'm gonna listen to the Gli Alluminogeni's album Scolopendra before to sleep. Just one, I promise. 


Good night.


I've bought about 85 CDs in the last two months but that is not normal for me, it's just a binge. Embarrassed
I started out adding to my Jazz Rock/Fusion and Hard Rock/Metal collections and then catching up
with some of my favorite guitarists solo works. 
Now I am working on things I need in RPI, both older and newer. The thing about RPI is that you do 
a search for one album and you end up finding three. Wink

I'm listening to "Inferno" by Metamorfosi (1973) on YouTube. I'm halfway through and it sounds great.
I didn't see it on the list but I know the list not complete.
Any comments on this album/band?

Just watched a couple of the Unreal City videos posted here and was very impressed.
Sometime today I'll visit YouTube and hear the full album.

^ Two classics and a very nice recent one. QVL and Osanna are among my very favorites. I'm envious of you to be able to experience these albums for the first time. Happy discovery!

I've been adding albums by bands that I know but what has been more fun is discovering bands and
albums based on the excellent recommendations of members posting on this thread.

The current warner edition of Palepoli hasn't a very good sound and this album is full of details you all want to hear. Check out a japanese edtion of this masterpiece if you can.

I see. I payed mine 20 bucks, but it was 3 years ago. The old "King records" japanese edition are the best. 
Some SHMCD version are good too, some not. Palepoli is excellent and the digipack is superb.

^ As Pierre mentioned, the old King/Nexus version is by far the best one on CD! If you love this album, you'll want to spend a bit extra for this version. You can usually find it for 20-40 USD. Well worth the effort and price!

What does everyone here think about L'Uomo? I'm listening to it on YouTube now.
It's a little heavier but I like the guitar and flute.
I've also ordered De De Lind's only CD.

^ I like L'Uomo, but it's my fourth favorite Osanna album after Palepoli, Landscape of Life, and Milano Calibro 9 in that order. For me, Palepoli is 5 stars, the others 4 stars.

I love the De De Lind album. It's on the hard rock side of the RPI spectrum.
