Vincenzo Ricca’s The Rome Pro(G)ject‘s “The Demo Collection Volume II” official promo video featuring an unreleased 1996 original recording titled “GENESIS.” This track laid the groundwork for what would become, in a different form 26 years later, “Have Caesar! Reprise” on “TRP V – Compendium of a Lifetime.”

Vincenzo Ricca announces the official release of the second chapter in “The Demo Collection” series, featuring unreleased versions of tracks from the whole TRP saga. By popular demand, and shortly after the success of the first volume released last February, the album will be available from November 6, 2026 exclusively in digital format on the Bandcamp platform at theromeprogject.bandcamp.com.
Subsequently, from December 6, it will also be available for purchase – again in digital format only – on the official band website at theromeprogject.carrd.co.
Just like the first volume, this second installment gathers ten unreleased alternative versions of tracks carefully selected from the six official studio albums that make up the project’s discography. The journey continues with 53 minutes and 03 seconds of great progressive music in high-resolution 48kHz / 24-bit audio: despite being “work-in-progress” versions, the meticulous audio treatment and sound clarity deliver an immersive, powerful listening experience, conveying the energy and freshness of true “live in studio” sessions to the listener.
In true The Rome Pro(G)ject tradition, this volume features a solid line-up of international Prog Rock legends. Alongside creator and multi-instrumentalist Vincenzo Ricca, exceptional musicians and special guests include: Tony Levin, Steve Hackett, David Jackson, Bernardo Lanzetti, Billy Sherwood, Nick Magnus, Franck Carducci, Tony Patterson, Daniele Pomo, Roberto Vitelli, Paolo Ricca, Luca Grosso, Sylvester “Pammy” Budd, Lorenzo Feliciati.
All tracks composed, arranged, and produced by Vincenzo Ricca except for tracks 5,6,9 composed by Vincenzo Ricca & David Jackson
