THE GOOD MAN

The 'Amnesiac' takes up themes from the 70s to the 2000s without the vintage side... There is rhythm, energy, Alessio's sax is just divine, ethereal breaks, elegiac choirs with voice-overs in 'Flashbacks' just melting, hard heavy riffs leaning towards BLIND EGO, Alex's warm keyboards and Emiliano's bewitching, swirling and astonishing guitar offering a fabulous prog melting pot... Captivating marshmallow tones, there is above all a progressive enthusiasm to move from one drawer to another with flowery, bucolic atmospheres. The sound of the synthesizer bewitches and strikes a fatal blow with Valentina's vocal leading to the dreamlike dream... The sound resembles the best CARPANI in fact, unrivaled... And would have been in my top 2024 if I had had time to listen to it longer before the end of the year. Almost half an hour that passes without realizing it, it's a major sign.

The 'Good and Evil' has the charm, the bewitchment... again... I look for reminiscences, sounds of other groups... Go in bulk a little of the MINIMUM VITAL for the bouncing and rhythmic keyboards on which we do not get bored; a little of the solos of RIVERSIDE and COLLAGE for the spleen but beautiful, touching guitar. A bit of the atmosphere of SAGA for the clarinet and the instruments mixed together, in short more tonic, energetic and velvety all the same, oxymoron prog.. A bit of classical orchestration with Many wind instruments, sax, viola, clarinet and others... Instruments that go very well in this long suite where the cinematic aspect intervenes with a solemn speech, cries of the jubilant audience and the whiff of YES and Wakeman all at once.. A nod to the sound of GENESIS with Gabriel's flute which fit perfectly into their music.... Not a stressful, annoying sax, not an aggressive flute like in many current groups just repeating the clichés... Title with its elegiac choirs which fit perfectly! (4.9)
