ON WE SAIL

Well... Its about 01:58 in this hot Summer night here in Porto, Portugal and I just listened to this Samurai of Prog album for just about 5 times in a row... Then I had to try to review it here, something I just don´t do for quite a while... I wont review it track by track just because I don´t have the same fellows here ability to do it... I just want to spot the highlights for me, beginning right away on the first song, quite keyboard based...Then Theodora, another vocal track full of emotion... Then The instrumental Ascension, wonderful track rich of musical beauty; congrats to the writer David Myers... Signore Oliviero Lagagnina also presents us here with another great instrumental, on which I recall some Rovescio Della Medaglia and Emerson Lake & Palmer influences; great... Then and finally, the last track, a sublime emotive farewell to Life from his author, the late Stefan Renstrom; it begins just gloriously, then is beautifully emotionally performed and also features a middle section again reminiscent of ELP, surely one of his musical influences... Strongly recommend this album... Five stars.
