Areknames ~ Italy


In Case of Loss (2010)

The 3rd and last album from one of the earlier Italian retro prog acts. Areknames (named after a Battiato track) didn’t emulate their own country’s output but rather that of the early 1970s UK and northern European sound. Heavy on the analog instrumentation with just a touch of post rock. Very easy on the ears for those of us predisposed to these kind of sounds. I loaded up on albums like this in the 2010’s. Will be interesting to see how well they hold up. 

Ownership: CD: 2010 Black Widow. Six panel digipak with 12 page booklet. Acquired in 2010.

2010; 3/17/23 (review)

Also own: Areknames (2003);  Love Hate Round Trip
