The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of bass, guitars, keyboards, sax, flute, recorder and vocals.
One guest added drums.
This album comes as a thirty-six minutes long studio album with a twenty-eight minutes long live album as the second part of the album just to flesh this album out to a one hour long album.
This is a review of the studio part of this album and I have ignored the live part of this album as I never review live albums.
Chaire is the name of the studio part of this album and the songs are from 1974-83. They were spliced and collected over the last four years by the members and made into Chaire.
The music here is RPI. Good classic RPI as they did on their 1973 debut album Melo. That is a semi-classic album in the RPI genre.
There are a considerable amount of saxes and flutes in their music in addition to the guitars and keyboards. The Italian vocals are then added to the top of the sound.
Despite of being old songs, the music feels contemporary post-millenium. The music is also mid-tempo and melodic.
There are some good and some sub-standard songs here. This album is not as good as Melo. It is still a pretty good album though. RPI collectors should check out this album.
2.5 points
