Description/Reviews
The debut album of the Italian band sounds maybe closest to modern-prog of K-Scope, with particular reference to Gazpacho's dark and melancholic atmosphere, rich in pathos and lyricism.
Tha album has only five songs, but one of them is the long suite "Marble House", in which the stylistic modernity cohabit with mellotron and Farfisa organ, soft touches of electric piano, the inevitable Hammond, Harmonium and piano.
Atmosphere is sometimes tense and electric, often dreamy, from the first song "To makes ends meet", between the phrasing of distorted guitars and organ, the restless pulsation of drums and bass, which melts into the sweetness of the guitars arpeggios and electric piano.
A vague reference to the early Genesis in "Reverie", the epicity of "Riding in the fog", the touching crescendo of the ballad "The last 48 hours", and then the 24-minutes highlight of the title-track, an alternation between light and dark in six breathtaking parts.
