MeM - Cielo E Mare (2025)

 

The third (?) album from this band from Italy.

The band was a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and saxophones.

A guest added soprano vocals. 

I know next to nothing about this band. I got two of their albums and I have contacted their label MaRaCash for all relevant info. The nice, helpful label has, three times, contacted the band for more info and has received no reply. I therefore can only go by what I know about this band and the two albums I am reviewing this month. 

I reviewed their second album Foglia Di Rugiada earlier this month and that was a decent enough album with a blend of symphonic prog and cinematic rock. 

That album were a pretty stripped down bare boned album. That is not the case with the follow up album Cielo E Mare. 

We get an hour with a blend of cinematic rock and symphonic prog. Mostly symphonic prog, it has to be said.

There are lots of guitars here in addition to the synths. There are some soprano voices on one track. 

The music has some ELP and classic RPI references. This is indeed a RPI album. 

The quality of the music is pretty good. Not everything here is good but this is still an album RPI fans should check out.
