  • OK, I listened to 3 parts of Nudo composition. Giacomo is definitely is one of the singers ever. Nudo feels a bit more modern, part 1 and 3 are my favourite. Didn’t listen to the rest, because they seems to be a replay of material from previous albums, which a listened anyway.

    Il Risveglio del Principe is probably my favourite here. It’s unexpectedly good. I usually do not like such calm jazzy albums, but it has surprisingly interesting rhythms that I want to listen to it again every time. Track 1 is especially good: it transitions from part to part kinda smoothly and intuitive, instruments fit with each other well too.

    The Missing Fireflies. I listened to it relatively recent to making this comment. It’s overall quite enjoyable. Would note tracks 3, 4, 5 and 7. 4 has interesting guitar play, it’s one of the melodies that seems like I listened very long ago, tho it most likely never happened. 5 is it’s live version, it sounds, like live versions in general (want to mention Il Tempio Del Clessidre live at some Brazilian event), more warm and breathtaking. 7 and 3 are a bit heavy and energetic, kinda like AttosecondO. I want to listen to their debut, since some tracks originally appeared there. Also you mentioned pipes, could you point to the track? I am not very good at recognizing instruments.

    Barbarica. Museo tried to compose something stylistically similar to their Zarathustra, cover reminds of their debut too. I can’t remember it being bad, but also can’t say anything good about it rn. Some prog albums take the time to sink in, so probably I should listen to it again someday.

    Listened to Vivi. Lotta. Pensa. by Biglietto. Kinda disappointing. Their debut seemed much more fun. Their debut kinda goes along with their bandcamp pfp:

    But their newer album… I don’t find it interesting. Maybe I should give it another try.


  • Gave a couple of listens to Attosecondo. It’s quite nice and heavy. Good organ play, bass, mellotron. Compared to their debut it seems to be more energetic, but I think their debut is more elegant, so it’s hard for me to put AttosecondO above Alphataurus. I also remembered about Biglietto Per l’Inferno, because I listened Alphataurus and them in the same time. They also did a comeback, but I didn’t listen it yet. I will continue to listen albums you mentioned btw. Museo’s Zarathustra is one of my most liked albums, wonder how good are their latest ones.


  • Do you know any good comebacks btw? I feel like majority of the prog bands in general couldn’t maintain the same quality over time. IMO Camel were very consistent and it’s the only band I can remember performing good even on the latest stages of their lifetime. I read somewhere that Banco released some proggy material recently. But I didn’t give it a proper spin yet, only listened two times to Transiberiana.




  • I gave winters a couple of listens today. I think it’s dim in front of “Hands”. It has good instrumental parts, but overall I found it clumsy. I had big expectations for Zombierach (pt 3), as I thought it would sound close to Zombieroch. They tried to replicate that bouncy rhythm, but it rather sounds intermittent and kinda meh. Does part 2 even exists btw? I’m looking into refreshing my memory about Strangelet, which I find more interesting.
