IL PAESE DEL TRAMONTO

This is the second album of the marvelous RPI band. Like the debut release, it develops 'nervous' and 'dramatic' sides of the genre: Unreal City is closer to Museo Rosenbach and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso than Celeste and PFM. Sometimes this music is rather dark, although almost always beautiful and melodic. All tracks of the album are excellent. Each track contains brilliant compositional ideas, melodies remained in a memory, an interesting development, and sophisticated arrangements. 'Il Paese Del Tramonto' is full of beauty, power, and energy. Unilke the debut release, there are no boring fragments. Personally I strongly like melody from 'Oniromanzia' repeated in the end of 'Ex Tenebrae Lux'. It is one of the best albums of 2015 although weaker than the classical releases of Le Orme, PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, and some other 'giants'. 4.5.
