La Torre dell'Alchimista (translated as "The Alchemist's Tower") was founded in Bergamo, Italy in 1997 by Michele Giardino, Davide Donadoni and Michele Mutti to record original symphonic progressive rock in the grand tradition of Italian legends Le Orme, PFM and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. The featured recording in this post was released in 2001 and is now out of print. The music is a nice throwback to the Italian progressive rock of the 70s and is a very enjoyable recording.
