AD GLORIAM

Hehe, let's face this Le Orme debut. And my second LO album, after one new addition, I take their effort since beginning. So I'm not biased, nor affected against them in a way that I know more. Unique state in which I am, so innocent and virgin like by nature, not spoiled by beautiful sounds of their later work (hypothetical good tunes, I suppose that when rated so well, they'll be good). Not for long, but for now, I am.

And you are curious, dear reader, what I have to offer ? Hell, I'm curious too, what this record has to offer. Well, for example first two tracks. First one is psychedelic intro, full of interesting Italian sounds and psychedelic sounds. Good intro, bass line with keyboards (crazy ones). Second is consisted of hypnotic riff, which evolves into guitar solo (nice one), with choir of eunuchs like vocals (don't be offended, this is my synonym for soprano/high pitched vocals, in my sense of reality, even woman can be eunuch, so don't worry, just enjoy it and forget my strange interest in eunuchs from court of Alexander the Great and Arnold Judas Rimmer). It's early, but everyone has to start with something and it's not often as good as their later debut, especially in terms of bands like this (or Genesis, Yes, Jethro). Songs are nice, psychedelic is the word that describes them best.

4(-), not bad, but somehow strange. This feeling that not everything is in its right place is too strong. But I don't agree with majority of people here that it's worse than 3-stars album, because it's not. It's a good one.
