Raccomandata Ricevuta Ritorno - In Fuga (2025)

 

The fourth album from this band from Italy.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards, sax, flute and vocals.

Gosh.... It is ages since I did listen to and then reviewed an album from this band. It is one of the more obscure bands in the RPI scene. They have released four albums, though. That is at least two more albums than anyone could expect and hope for from this band.

I don't have their 2019 album In Rock but I did review their first two albums for ProgArchives back in 2009 and 2010. Two good albums.

The band has now returned again from a long hibernation and the result is this thirty-six minutes long album.

The music is still RPI. Hard rocking RPI with some very strong blues and hard rock elements. 

The band has also retained their RPI roots. The vocals are all in Italian and they are good. 

Most of the music is rather quirky and eclectic with some avant-garde rock undertones. There are also some melodic stuff here although those are pretty hard rocking.

Most of the music works here while some of it falls a bit flat on it's face. On balance though... this is a good album and an album RPI fans should and must check out.
