See if I can find it myself.
I like how you say 'not crazy' btw. Well with all the Battiato, Pierrot Lunaire and the likes, I really can't blame you for thinking that I am some sort of weirdo fetishist


LOL

I remember Gudrun as rather grating. Need to revisit that one soon.


Gudrun is like visiting the Mother In Law grating and no i will not be visiting either soon. Man i'm glad there's an ocean between me and Denmark.

Love the first Pierrot Lunaire, especially that song :
 
 
The riff played by the female voice. So original ! And the piano is like rain on my roof. Heart

For Gudrun, I don't know. Don't like the soprano very much. This record reminds me the John Greaves's Songs album. But I find Greaves bettter.

Il Tempio delle Clessidre at Nearfest.  Wow.  Italians really know how to perform with flair and drama :-)  Great show.

Don't kill me but I have to admit that as much as I love RPI, I didn't find any modern band that I really liked, it seems to me nothing can compare to the 70's stuff, about 90% of what I heard just bores me. Unhappy

There was also a jam at the after party with Elissa, keys player for Il Tempio, Mattias Olssen drummer of Anglagard, and Tom Hyatt, bassist for Echolyn.  It was amazing and sounded more like a composition than a jam.

What an amazing cross-section of three of my favorite contemporary bands, each one so incredibly different in style. That is a grouping I never would have thought of! I'm jealous!

If you're tied to the 70s sound try:
Il Baccio della Medusa
La Coscienza di Zeno
Phaedra
Il Tempio delle Clessidre
La Maschera di Cera

Many of my favorite contemporary Italian bands have blended some modern sounds in with the 70s style:
Egonon
Lagartija
Catafalchi del Cyber
Gran Turismo Veloce
Absenthia

But there's certainly enough 70s RPI to last a lifetime!

Todd, I know most of these albums. All have obvious melodic and instrumental qualities. I cannot deny it. However, neither sounds new and revolutionary to my ears. I will learn that the most recent have been recorded in the 1990s, that I will not be surprised. I hear there progressive music, whereas in the 1970s I just heard  music. I do not say that groups like Architrave Indipendente or Adharma fill me completely, but I feel in them a strong will (even if they continue a tradition) to break free from the weight of their elders. By nature, I am less attached to the past tant to the future. The best is yet to come.

Pierre, I agree that there is not much new or revolutionary about these bands. In fact I don't know that I've heard new or revolutionary in any music for a while. To me it seems that 99.9% of music consists of artists trying to add their own spin on a synthesis of various styles of the past or present. Some will take more avant-type music, some will push toward heavy rock, others toward electronic, or alternative,  jazz, classical, etc. But it seems like there is some kind of unique blend of synthesis for each artist, along with their own voice--very little of it seems new or revolutionary. When it does happen, well then a new style is born, a new flavor to add to the synthetic mix for future artists. But for my taste, I don't have to have new or revolutionary to enjoy it. When it happens, well that's great and quite admirable and often enjoyable. But personally it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the others who aren't as visionary. (Despite the quote in my signature!)

You're right todd. I don't expect each time a revolution in music. You know my taste in RPI. I like variety as much as avant garde. This is, I think, a problem of sound. The new sounds old to me. And here there is something to do. The sound is so sterile today, like Jim says in a review. Music can't be sterile or she's dead. She is male and female. She gives birth to herself. She's her own child. I know, I speak of music as a person. But that's what she is for me. Maybe because what I really expect is a revolution of the human kind.
