...DI TERRA

A quite nice, fine album from Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. The style is very symphonic with orchestration, sometimes jazzy and there are no vocals at all. The first track "Nel Cielo e Nelle Altre Cose Mute" is very peaceful, almost classical music. "Terramadre" is very jazzy in style of jazz fusion.

The fourth track "Io vivo" rocks most. Things calm down with "Ne' Piu' di un Albero non Meno di Una Stella", this track has some very nice flute playing, reminding a bit of Jethro Tull. "Di Terra" closes the album with a very majestical manner with similar themes as in the start of the album.

Overall this is an excellent album. There is not very much headbanging rock here, so it's not for your hard rock party. Instead it is for a nice evening with candle light.
