Just wondering what people thought the great reunion/comeback albums were from Maxophone, Il Roverscio Della Medaglia, PFM, Banco, etc etc.

    Sorry for the delay - had to sit down with my music library and go through it:

    Good Comebacks I know of:

    • Alphataurus - AttosecondO is fantastic. Their newer one is still undergoing evaluation. : )
    • Banco - Nudo (1997) was great, but I believe that was a live album, so it doesn’t count (though there are several live comeback albums that are great, RDM’s comes to mind, and that whole live show with like 10 bands where Ian Anderson played with PFM)
    • Celeste - Il Risveglio del Principe. It’s one of the members making new music that’s mostly pretty close to the original band. Overall def worth listening to. He’s done several in the past 5(?) years.
    • Locanda Delle Fate - The Missing Fireflies. Lord, his pipes. Feels like a followup, I think is old material that wasn’t released before?

    Comebacks:

    • Museo Rosenbach - Barbarica. Mentioning it, own it, don’t recall it. Which is sorta damning, I assume.

    Albums I didn’t know existed until checking to see what I had:

    • Metamorfosi - Purgatorio.
    • Osanna - Palepolitana.
    • Semiramis - LA FINE NON ESISTE.
    • Il Baletto Di Bronzo - Lemures.
    • Il Rovescio della Medaglia - Tribal Domestic. I had their recent live album (where they, honestly, CRUSH it…), but didn’t know about this one.

      Gave a couple of listens to Attosecondo. It’s quite nice and heavy. Good organ play, bass, mellotron. Compared to their debut it seems to be more energetic, but I think their debut is more elegant, so it’s hard for me to put AttosecondO above Alphataurus. I also remembered about Biglietto Per l’Inferno, because I listened Alphataurus and them in the same time. They also did a comeback, but I didn’t listen it yet. I will continue to listen albums you mentioned btw. Museo’s Zarathustra is one of my most liked albums, wonder how good are their latest ones.

        Oh man, didn’t realize Biglietto had a comeback, listening to it tonight! Thanks!

        And yes,I agree, Attosecondo isn’t better, but holy crud I’m amazed they got that close!
