The Rome Pro(G)ject III
EXEGI MONVMENTVM AERE PERENNIVS
The Rome Pro(G)ject’S new concept album!
One and a half year after the hvge svccess of their second album “OF FATE AND GLORY”, “The Rome Pro(G)ject” release
EXEGI MONVMENTVM AERE PERENNIVS
57 minvtes of instrvmental progressive rock in 13 tracks.
As per its title, that means I RAISED A MONVMENT MORE LASTING THAN BRONZE, the possibly final chapter of TRP saga is an instrvmental concept album abovt the end of the roman empire and the awareness that “non omnis moriar”, not all dies as the roman heritage keeps on showing in europe, asia and africa.
“TRP III” is the new act of an exciting trilogy by an uncomparable “open band” that, in five years, affirmed as one of the most interesting and significant examples of progressive rock!
“The musical walk through the history and the places, the greatness and the beauty of the Eternal City” and its “Fate and Glory”, come to an end with its – possibly – best performance.
The two previous cdalbums went sold-out, and there will be no other chance to get any copy! (A re-relaese seems almost unlikely at the moment).
Once again, “The Rome Pro(G)ject” will see smashing contributions by Steve Hackett (Genesis, Gtr, S.H. Electric Band), David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator), David Cross (King Crimson, David Cross Band), John Hackett (S.Hackett Band John Hackett Band), Nick Magnus (Steve Hackett Band) and Francesco Di Giacomo (the now late vocalist of italian prog band Banco).
With the marvellous talents of Franck Carducci, Daniele Pomo (RaneStrane) Roberto Vitelli (Taproban, Ellesmere) and Paolo Ricca.
Again, under the independent flag of TRP records, this 3rd album includes 10 tracks + 3 bonus.
Not coincidentally, the cd album will be released Dec. 7th, 2017, on the same date TRP released their first cdalbum five years ago.
Mixed and Mastered by Angelo Sposato at Sud Studio Digital Sound – Vadue di Carolei (Cs)
Conceived, composed (all tracks except where stated), arranged and produced by Vincenzo Ricca.
