^ Thanks H, I look forward to these. I liked the Paradiso from years back, so I have high hopes for Purgatorio. 

You can hear short camples of all songs from the new Maxophone album here:

Sad news...

I Treni All'Alba

Update: On 6 March, 2016, the band announced they have officially disbanded after 13 years together. From their Facebook page: 

"Like the more attentive have noticed in recent times we have been a bit absent... the fact is that in the last few years some things happened in our lives, some nice and others less, some wanted and others not. The fact is that despite all our efforts, these changes and the distances due to the relocation of two of us in England, they made it really hard to continue a serious project like I Treni All'Alba, where the constant commitment and a constant physical proximity are necessary.
We have therefore decided to stop here.
Not because we don't have more to say or because we no longer know how to say it, but simply because for us it has become too hard to do in these conditions.
A huge thank you goes to all those who have helped us and supported in these 13 years..."

They added that they do have material they would like to record one day as a swan song, but could not say for certain it would happen.  We hope so, guys, and thanks for the music!

That's a shame, they had a nice niche, very unique sound.

What ever happened to Il Ruscello?

Off the top of my head, Avalon Legend 2 seem to have vanished, which is a shame.   As far as I know Avalon Legend 2 are working on a new album (?).   If anyone needs info on new Italian Prog bands just ask, I do normally have some info... Last time I checked their Facebook page seemed to be completely missing, unless I'm looking in the wrong place? I assumed they'd kind of quietely disappeared, which would be a shame, H!
