Hi Kyle!!  Long time! When I popped back into PA after a many-years hiatus, I noticed that no one had posted in the Den for over three years. The ranks have thinned in here and elsewhere at PA it seems, but we'll have to try to keep the torches lit. Good to see you. Cheers. Beer

Our friends Cormorano.....what could be nicer than a little laid-back RPI outside on a beautiful day? Check out their latest album, Obliquizioni d'Autunno.

A mix of new and old artists....

Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth, Cristiano Roversi of Moongarden, Enrico Gabrielli of Calibro 35, Diego Petrini of Il Bacio della Medusa, Marco Croci of Maxophone/Jumbo, and, of course, Aronne Cereda of Dalton.

^ I know! I've been playing it too. I love their enthusiasm and obvious passion for prog rock. Lyrically conceptual too. Andrea did a nice job of explaining the album's lyrics in his review.

Area....yep, you really can't go wrong with the first 5 albums through 1978. All are solid and mostly beloved by those who hear them. I haven't heard anything beyond that 1978 album yet.  Cheers!


I think Area is my second Italian band after listening to the iconic PFM [I need to re listen to them as well]. I gave their third album a try and found the instrumental interplay quite good though as again, I still find their debut the strongest. I will still trod through their discography because it has interesting moments.
