Erik, I have already made a note to check this band out due to your early Genesis comparrisons, along with many others you have reccomended. With only around 30 RPI albums in my collection I'm only scratching the surface of this facinating .genre.

All very good but this needs to be in the "Get The Word Out" section as all promotions of outside websites should be.

Well Paul, it's incredible how many interesting lesser known and unknown progrock bands you can find on the Colossus projects, in this case Il Fauno Di Marmo on the Tuonen Tytar triple CD is a stunning example of a (for me) totally unknown but promising new Italian progrock band
 In the forthcoming Chapter 6 you will read more about it but .... poor wallets  ! ERIK NEUTEBOOM (PROG ANDALUZ, RPI & MELLOTRON SPECIALIST)

Erik, your enthusiastic review along with Raff's make this project sound like essential listening. Some names I'm familiar with, others not but a collection I will have to buy sooner or later despite the price.

Thanks Todd and Memowakeman, good idea and I am very pleased that you keep Paul's thread alive
By the way, here's my entire Dante's Inferno review, indeed it took
some time to listen to the four CD's ...
 ... : Well, fellow Italian progrock fans, I hope this week more chapters will
be published, I am looking forward to it, thanks for your support
    Ciao

Raff, that's a great review! I really enjoy that CD and look forward to the next ones.
Erik, what a great treasure of information! If we don't already have one, would you mind if we put a link on the RPI sub-genre page?

Ehm.... Gabriella is not a member of the band - she is their PR, and keyboardist Gabriele Manzini's wife. I happen to know both in real life.

Funny, today I read this PM (dated 12 May 2009) by Gabriella (PR of Ubi Maior):
Hi Erik,
- First of all I would like to thank you for your kind words about "Nostos" Ubi Maior debut album. I would like to let you know that they have released their second album "Senza Tempo". In this cd the major influence (yet not the only one) lies on Neil Gaiman's graphic novel masterpiece, Sandman. I would like to send you both CD's but I don't know where... Cheers, Gabriella (aka Lady Belladonna) Well Gabriella, meanwhile I have reviewed Ubi Maior's new album,
it will be published in Chapter 4 but please have a look at:
Ciao!

No problem Erik, glad to add my support to such an excellent article.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in it so far. There's such a lot of reading though it will take people a while to digest it all.

If you click the link below it will take you to the Background magazine website where there is an excellent article titled Forty Years Of Italian Progrock 1969 - 2009. It's written by Erik Neuteboom, someone who will be well known to many of you here and he writes about what he considers to be the most important and his favourite bands/albums of the genre.
It makes facinating reading and a great place to discover Italian prog alongside the excellent resources here.
The first 2 chapters have been published and more to follow soon.
Great work Erik
P.S. click the link for Specials on the website to find the article.
UPDATE - The link above is temporarily broken. This one can be used until it is repaired......
