If you love Goblin, Claudio Simonetti, the O.S.T. and Symphonic Prog Metal this compilation is for you. All this ingredients are here. Because Claudio Simonetti decides to re-arrange some success played by he. And the music becomes Symphonic Prog Metal (except in "TGamma", good Jazzy POP song and in "Twin Peaks" clear Vangelis Electronic Ambient Longue music with Rock part). In this sense this compilation are extreme fresh and convincent. The sole real problem is represented from the label of this release. In fact D.V. More Recond is a small label that produces good budget compilation. And I don't know that distribution have abroad. In Italy is distributed in the departement stores. In every case we return in musical field. The songs are great in these new versions. In my opinion this compilation should have greater spread because the songs excite, ooze anger and horror. Simonetti plays like possessed by Satan and the atmospheres of the songs materialize upsets before our eyes.

Upsetting. After the listening Satan will be your sole god. Welcomes to the Universal Judgment! If succeeded gained this compilation to eyes closed. To regret for the not purchase means to cry for the despair.

The return of Goblin... That return!!! Yes, the Goblin's elements are all in this O.S.T.. But sure the sound is more modern, the composition are more neighbors to the Prog Metal or of a strange Horror version of a mix between VDGG and ELP. But sure this album doesn't disappoint the expectations. The guitars is a la Santana and the keyboards are more mellow that in past times, in "Endless Love", Horror ballad, the music is more near to New Age. But in general this is a music that it puts much more anxiety than in past (fault the association of Synth, used often like pianos or with their true sound and electric guitars). The first song "Non Ho Sonno" is a good mid tempo Symphonic Prog Metal, that not emotion not even to pay but the rest of the songs... In this sense is still worst!!! And that interesting operation the mini suite in 4 parts "Movie soundtracks: The Death Farm Animals" where returns the subject of "Non Ho Sonno". Extreme interesting "Ulisse" where Simonetti and Antonio Marangolo plays an Horror version of Vangelis. Interesting also the anxiety of "Death Farm" with a slow Black Metal begin and interludes (of electric guitar) Prog develop and solo a la Jens Johanson/ Timo Tolki duel!!!

Good return for an immense band. Because it is true the anxiety is here!!!
