Frequency Drift - 'Letters To Maro' (2018)

I have to say that after a couple spins, this album is hit and miss. Not sure what they were thinking. It's a patchwork of different musical styles that just don't go together. Their 'GHOST' album is much better. -

Netherlands band - A Silent Sound. 2017 Symphonic/Folk
‘A Silent Sound’ is the rock band founded by Tom Luchies. ‘a Silent Sound’ takes you on travels far beyond what you know and everything that you’ve ever seen. While embarking on a journey across the world in 2015, visiting places like Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand, the inspiration was found for the beginning of ‘a Silent Sound.’
The upcoming album ‘COMPASS’ is all about the journey of a young man to a once lost place among the sea shores. To fulfil his father’s last wish, he needs to leave all behind and experience the world and all it has got to offer him.
Just as the planet once used to be, this album is without boundaries and restrictions and is the complete image of such a journey along unknown places, new experiences, the beauty of the world itself and all the other sides of the coin. It will never be easy to achieve something you truly believe in, but it is never impossible.

La Dottrina degli Opposti - Arrivederci sogni. Band from Italy - 2018 Symphonic
Really enjoying this album!.......
La Dottrina degli Opposti is not a band, but a solo project of the Genoese musician Andrea Lotti. This one was one of the founding members of La Coscienza di Zeno.
In the spring of 2018, his solo debut Arrivederci sogni was released . Andrea Lotti plays a variety of keyboard instruments, primarily analogue (mostly piano), guitar, mandolin and accordion, and has also composed everything. In addition, there are almost two dozen guest musicians, mainly on classical instruments: strings, woodwind and brass, but also guitar, bass and drums, as well as a singer (Francesco di Ciapica from Il Tempio delle Clessidre).
The music is clearly rooted in the voluptuous symphonic Italoprog of the 70s. Of course, the focus on classical instruments creates a very good unique sound.
Not only are there extensive instrumental passages (especially beautiful in the concluding Fra le dita), but also completely instrumental pieces in which the album thus reaches its climaxes; such as the delicate, sometimes moderately bombastic Sulla via del ritorno.
Arrividerci sogni is clearly an album from the field of feel-good prog. In itself, music with such a high feel-good factor thanks to the colorful and never overloaded arrangements and the compositional skill of Andrea Lotti... This has such an overdose of harmonies and melodies which is good hearing to .

Crosby & Nash - Wind On The Water
I am in an American folk rock mood, so I might put on some Byrds later this day.

City Boy - 'City Boy' (1976)
[Blocked Image: http://www.renaissancerecordsus.com/CD_Graphics/cityboy.jpg]
A favorite from back in the day. I only ever owned their debut, but looking on progarchives, they have quite a few highly rated albums.
If you like 10CC, you will most likely enjoy this band.
One Member went on to be in The Maisonettes, big hit with Heartbreak Avenue (Or was it Heartache?) - City Boy had a big hit with 5705. The said members brother (Twin?) was an actor and appeared in UK soap Crossroads, and that is the end of the pointless trivia!

Band from Italy
Band between PFM and Celeste.... The guitar sounds remind me of Andy Revell from Twelfth Night
As far as progressive albums from Italy, sung in Italian, go, this ranks pretty high for me. Love the flute and instrumental passages. Thanks, Noni!
