The Italian Prog Appreciation den

It's a strange one, eh fellas? I just bought it blind from one of Greg Walker's most recent updates, but for some reason, Jim, I had the feeling you reviewed their previous album? I might have the wrong band altogether?

Sagi, I'll try and whip up a review for it over the next couple of days, so you can find out more about it. I loved that it still had these punchy little outbursts, quite wild and unpredictable!

Yes, Pierre! I heard the music first and thought `Wow, I like this!', and then those strong vocals come in, very intimidating and reckless!

Altare T. go sligthly in the direction of bands like Area or D.e.M.
but stay original.

This Album was one of my faves of the last year. I also liked the debut
album very much, but it is somewhat different.

The debut was less avant jazz and had some more hard - blues rock elements, which made it easier to digest. But both albums are great,
and I think it's a good thing to have some development.

It looks like there is a solo Album by the vocalist also, I coudn't find it yet (but there are some Clips on Youtube)

From the debut:

I would like to report the group "Quella Vecchia Locanda", their first self-titled album (from 1972)is beautiful!

Hard to choose between the two but I think I prefer the debut just a little more.

I quite like this. Prego Micheal!
This song has a very lounge inspired feel to it, and I can already tell that these guys would be a real treat to see live. I'd definitely be one of the guys drinking 8 long espressos while foot tapping the ground till I put a hole through it. This is well done, well composed. Jazz RPI? I think so. The song gets kind of moody in the last 2 minutes. I was not expecting that at all. Love surprises like that.
Also. When the saxophone and bass are going haywire they remind me so much if the beloved, King Crimson.
Can't go wrong there.

i need to talk to mats.
