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.
Sorry for the delay - had to sit down with my music library and go through it:
Good Comebacks I know of:
Comebacks:
Albums I didn't know existed until checking to see what I had:
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.
There’s a lot in here. Awesome!
Nudo: yes, that album is fantastic, though I don’t know their catalog as well as I should so I’m unsure how much of it was the new stuff. That said yes he has an amazing voice. So so good.
Celeste: Yeah, for someone trying to re-create the magic 50 years later, he certainly succeeded. I like the female vocals (I believe it’s on this album), but the whole vibe is just being warm and cozy in front of a fire.
Missing Fireflies: I think half of this were compositions from the 70s. Yay! Modern production on classic pieces. And when I said pipes, I meant his voice (American colloquialism). Sorry for the confusion!
Barbarica - yeah, I’m relistening to that as well as the new Alphataurus (“2084”), Biglietto (Vivi), and Maxophone (La Fabbrica delle nuove). That last one seems really good!
And thanks for your thought on this!
