LE PORTE DEL DOMANI

- Fabio Zuffanti on bass

- Alessandro Corvaglia on lead vocals and acoustic and electric guitars

- Mauricio Di Tollo on drums

- Andrea Monetti on flute

- Agostino Macor on all sort of pianos, keyboards and synthetizers

This is modern Italian progressive rock at its best. The vocals are fenomenal and Corvaglia's guitar work Is also outstanding. Zuffanti is a very talented musician and his bass playing, both rhythmic and melodic are an unquestionable highlight when present. The sound layers created by Macor are so good they sometimes sound unearthly, beautiful, lush, symphonic, incredible. I got into Prog because of Mr. Ian Anderson so Monetti got me with the first flute note, powerful and determined, precise and well executed. There's an alternate version for this album that's is sang in English in its entirety, but the Corvaglia's singing in Italian is simply unbeatable.

This is a concept that allegedly works as continuation for the album Felona e Sorona (1973) by Italian progressive rock legends Le Orme, a story about two planets that revolve one around the other without ever coming in contact, Felina is a colorful, bright and happy poner while Sorona is dark, sad and home of bad things? that original concept was left somehow unresolved and Mr. Zuffanti and his crew of amazing musicians decided to "solve" or give an ending to that concept 40 years later.

I haven't listened to that original concept album so I'm in no right of judging of comparing, but I can definitely state that Le Porte Del Domani grabbed me and impressed me, I appreciate every note and every passage here, the heavy ones, the more melodic, the symphonic, the cosmic ones?the variety within the same genre is delightful. I do have a couple of highlights in "La Guerra Dei Mille Anni", "L'enorme Abisso", "Viaggio Metafísico" and "Alba Nel Tempio
