Italian band Mad Crayon have been around for decades, their debut "Ultimo Mirragio" being released in 1994, at the same time as bands such as Finisterre, Il Castello di Atlante, CAP and Germinale revived the dormant Italian school with another wave of genius. Keyboardist Alessandro di Benedetti has embarked on a side venture that goes quite a different route, not quite electronic, not quite RPI, that seeks to combine modern tendencies (electronica and drum machines) with an overt Tony Banks styled soloing desire that is not unlike Geoff Downes' brilliant and underrated New Dance Orchestra project, "the Light Program" (1986) being a work of genius. In fact, Inner Prospekt's previous 2014 album is called "Dreaming of Tony Banks", which clearly defines Alessandro's underlying influence.
