Chiave Di Volta - Ritratto Libero (2004)

 

The one and only album from this band from Italy.

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

This album has bypassed me for many years until Ma.Ra.Cash re-released it earlier this year on their Bandcamp page. Hence, I got a copy.

RPI, classic RPI is what's on offer here.

The band mixed jazz, folk rock with symphonic prog, RPI symphonic prog on this fifty-five minutes long album.

There are plenty of flutes here and some good vocals too.

The music is very colourful and flowery. Lush is the word I am looking for and the word who describes this album best.

The music is mid-tempo and very complex throughout. This is by no means an easy listening album.  

There is a lot of very good details here and that is the main positive we can take from this album. The overall quality is very good and this makes this album one of the golden nuggets among the post-millenium RPI albums.

Check out this album.
