5 stars Born from the honesty of approaches and the extensive evolution of the group, Regna offers us, as a timeless gift, a result with an aftertaste of classic progressive rock that drinks from the delicious and emotive universal sources of the seventies. The technical mastery is at the service of the passion and interpretive warmth that makes its way from the first note. And all this with the intention of directing us through an elaborate labyrinth of sensations and soundscapes that draws a huge canvas full of captivating strokes and details that make up a wonderful space where the listener can recreate and delight himself from beginning to end. The band sounds coherent and full of confidence to develop a work of complex arrangements that include everything from dreamy acoustic delicacies to furious instrumental moments that consecrate the character of the musicians that make up this enormous work that is Cinema. Although it is not a purely conceptual work, there are moments in one theme or another, which recover ideas exposed at different times in their audition. That's why I say that they sound coherent because they try, and succeed, to convey a musical message in an organized and well-divided way. And this is rarely achieved because it takes a lot of work, when composing a work, to give fluidity to the themes to create a flowing river to a climax of supreme beauty. Remarkable themes well led by Mellotron and varied keyboards spilling over rhythmic bases of intricate pulse and electric guitars stretched beyond the realm of possibility, play with wonderful acoustic interludes and snatched solos from Moogs of devilish charm. The voice, as if it were a minstrel, recreates stories with authority and charm. And everything flows; everything oozes with huge, poetic aromas. Regna, ultimately, creates a crucible whose fruit rounds off a work without edges and, in full ecstasy, says goodbye with a monumental suite that serves, as an epilogue, to close a perfect circle, a grandiose and soft vibration, which summarizes the intentions of this masterpiece that is Cinema: splendour, energy, soul and firmness.
