Well Paul, three weeks after you have opened this thread, I notice that it
has turned into a kind of 'Prog Archives Italian Progrock Library' where
until today almost 800 progheads prefered to read in silence

Paul, Chapter 3 will be published this Saturday afternoon, to add
the pictures is a painstaking and time consuming task  ....

Excellent Erik, I'll look forward to reading it.
Astralis sound well worth checking out from what you said in your review. I'll do it!

Paul, I am looking forward to it too, it lasts a bit too long but on the other hand, as I mentioned, it's a tough job to do the lay-out with all those covers. Chapter 4 will be my favourite because of the wonderful live photos and the amount of interesting lesser known and unknown new Italian bands, I hope to receive the new Giardino Delle Delizie this week so I can add it too Chapter 4.
Indeed Paul, Astralis is worth to check out but I am also very pleased with the new Supay featuring that exciting blend of Andean flutes and hot rocking guitars  But back to Italy, this evening I enjoyed this great new Italian progrock band:

Well Paul, to me VIII Strada sounds as captivating Heavy Prog, their trademark is the
splendid interplay between the sparkling piano and harder-edged electric guitar

Excellent news Erik, I've only just started reading chapter 3 but it looks full of interesting choices to check out. I'll get back to you in due course when I've had chance to read it more thoroughly and no doubt find some more interesting additions to my RPI collection.

Hi Erik,
I could at last read your third chapter, what I found really interestingl is that you put albums from bands that are really different, I mean someone can read useful information about oriented classical RPI bands, or eclectic ones or even metal. So for someone who loves prog from Italy will be delighted to find info about Divae, or Deus ex Machina, Calliope, Mad Crayon, Nuova Era or La Torre dell'Alchimista.
But I have one question, why did you decide to end tour chapter 3 in the 2002 year and not in 2000?, I mean, is there in 2003 a different remarkable sound that made you separate your next chapter from 2003 to 2009?

Hello Paul: Thanks Chapter 4 will be published soon, poor wallet of yours 
Hello Memowakeman: thanks for your enthousiastic words, indeed it is varied,
even for my 'conservative standards' About your question, ... I really don't know, I have forgotten the reason  .....
Are you interested in new Italian progrock like Narrow Pass, Gan Eden, Proteo or Il Ruscello or do you want to know more about good new but lesser known and unknown new progrock from all over the world like Eye To Eye (France), Ageness and Pax Romana (Finland), Astralis (Chili), Supay (Peru), Janos Varga Project (Hungary), Castle Canyon (USA), Retsam Suriv (Argentina), Anamor (Poland) or Kotebel and Neverness (Spain) or a triple Finnish Progrock tribute CD, check out:

Me too Paul, it's planned this weekend. And I have good news because today I received a parcel from Italy (from the AMS label) including CD's by Il Ruscello and Nodo Gordiano, I am very glad with the collaboration of this Italian progrock label because now I am able to add these very interesting new Italian progrock bands to Chapter 4 (New Bands) And about my All Time Italian Progrock Top 20 (Chapter 8), it's already published, along with Chapter 1, 2 and 9 (Epilogue) ....

Very interesting to read your top 20 Erik, steering away from the more obvious Banco and PFM choices. Never occured to me to look and see if it was already published, asuming it wouldn't appear until all the previous chapters were in place.
I think Il Ruscello are a very promising new band though I think the vocals let them down a bit.

Well said Paul: " ... steering away from the more obvious Banco and PFM choices... ",
I will keep this poetic phrase in mind while making reviews in the near future
And now I am going to listen to Il Ruscello and Nodo Gordiano, ciao.

Today I got from Progwalhalla the 4-CD box set The Divine Comedy Part 2 (entitled Dante's Purgatorio) to review, I am stunned by the huge amount of Italian bands, from known formations like Nuova Era and Mad Crayon to a cascade of interesting new names like KBridge, Ten Midnight, Soulengine, Atlantis1001, Contrappunto Project, Sophya Baccini, Armalite and Passini & Ragozza, I will tell you more about their progrock sound in Chapter 6 (Compilations And Special Projects) of my Italian progrock article.

Erik, I read your very interesting review at Progwalhalla. It sounds well worth getting but I haven't even got part 1 yet so in all it's going to be a bit expensive. Perhaps when I win the lottery.
