Finally got round to downloading that Assenzio album and I'm glad I did as it's impressive stuff. Thanks for the link. Thumbs Up

Grazie BW!

Just got this month Banco's debut album, and then quiet unexpectedly I found Museo Rosenbach's "Zarathrustra". Banco's album I have been enjoying very much, though I still need to hear it more times; however, so far it seems bound to become my favourite from the one's I have so far (the other's being Darwin, Io Sono Nato Libero, and Come in un'ultima cena).

I was a bit nervous about picking Zarathrustra when I found it, because I didn't really know what to expect from it, but now I'm really glad I got it, it sounds really interesting and enjoyable. I think I'm going to love both albums.

Excellent, Dellinger! Enjoy! Let us know how it goes. Zarathustra and Banco are among my favorites.

I'm really enjoying Randone's 2009 album, "Linea di confine."  Wonderful composition and playing.  This album is always interesting, often melodic, and frequently memorable.  I may even like it better than "Hybla."  Definitely worth your time and money!

Clap That is a great album, Todd, and it only has a few reviews. Need to get round to posting my thoughts on it but the next RPI album I review will probably be the Absenthia one. Wonderful stuff.

Many thanks Matt and Merry Christmas to you and the family too. I'll be working on Christmas Day, but I'll be checking in here at PA as soon as I finish my shift! Tongue (I'll be having my family Christmas on Boxing Day.)

Merry Frazzmas!


Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

Thanks Finny!  I did it quick so didn't match at all the pixilation of the two source images.  However it does look kind of funny like this, in a ridiculous way.

Merry Christmas to all RPI fans in this forum from Greece. A pertinent question which sprang to my girlfriend's mind is if there is a group of people, or if there's an artist who should be credited with all these exceptional artworks on some of the RPI LP covers. 

Some of them are true masterpieces.

RPI covers do have their own unique flair in the spirit of the music....but to my knowledge the credits would be as scattered as any other genre.....i don't believe it's just a small group of people....

Merry Christmas to our friends from Greece!Smile
