IL TEMPO DELLA GIOIA

This one is a classic of Italian symphonic rock music. The influence of British bands as King Crimson with their original sound clearly appears...the result is rather nice, enchanting, well orchestrated with a beautiful old dated flavour. This is near to PFM with long, symphonic and melodic passages with many instruments and voices. The classical ingredients are evident as usual with abundant flute, violin, and piano arrangements. This is played with a particularly achieved sense of melody. Globally it presents rather soft, gorgeous romantic rock compositions, with time to time more stress on the rhythmical, electric guitar section. A good illustration of the neo-classical (chamber music mixed with symphonic rock) genre that can easily convince every fans of PFM, Celeste.
