Nuova Era was one of the popular bands and among the few ones aswell from late '80s in prog music
from Italy who tried and succeded to revive the italian prog style. They releassed 4 albums before
disbanded in 1996. The second album from 1989 named Dop L'infinito is one of the better examples of
symphonic prog from that period not only from Italy but in general, because most of the well known
giants from '70s turned the page and optain for a much more mainstream and accesible prog in that
period, but Nueva Era keeping the torch hight in this field. The album contains 2 pieces only, but
very long, where each musicians brings best they got. Clearly infulenced by '70s prog music not far
from Banco del Mutuo Soccorso fame, the album sounds like was from 1978 not 1989, only the
production and overall sound betray the year of release. Anyaway this is a fairly good album who has
all the ingredients to be better fiewed in prog circles. Beautiful melodic guitars combined with
great keyboards make from this album an enjoyble ride from start to finish. Is a well balanced album
with memorable parts, some great instrumental passages here. All in all a good towards great release
who needs a far better fie keeping in mind the year of release. 4 stars for sure.
