UNUSUAL MOVEMENTS

"The Bridge" soaring electro intro drifting on a crystalline and fluid piano melody with Alessandro's keyboards; contemplative serenade leading to Federico's colorful solo; an interlude put into the mouth which sounds very pleasant modern. "Mantra" lugubrious clockwork, redundant GLASS-style piano, austere Giuseppe sax, the sound starts with a spatial electronic orchestral like ALAN PARSONS; hypnotic percussion groove before the vocal entry then the sax solo with a jazzy touch reminiscent of STRANGE POP's recent work on late-night urban legends; hushed vocals, phrasing, captivating, on the legendary Robert WYATT; everything will be fine if he tries to impress us; disillusioned, haunting air then the heavy guitar solo flight to try to chase away the viscous depth of Covid and its latent spiraling depression; romantic-dreamlike drift before the final cathartic symphonic crescendo, the return to this time which was numbered for us then. "Winter Day" takes up the tune from before, vocal and orchestration with a little more melancholy, ideal as a letter of apology for the future generation; the bass is powerful, setting a sad rhythm, a contemplative ballad from GENESIS where the synthesizer launches swirls of violins. Genesisian "Neverland", yes THE SAMURAI PROG, GENESIS everything is linked in fact given the adoration of Alessandro; the tone is groovy rock with a jazzy touch, one that rocks you, tortures you and doesn't leave you alone; Rafael's fantastic solo alternates with the Gabrielesque flute, the bass break and electronic keyboard make the head nod; this keyboard resumes, rural, the instruments leave on a symphonic space mixing progressive rock of yesteryear and updated sounds; the guitar gives the typical energy avoiding falling asleep or the weariness of vintage rock; Peter Pan revisited in a grandiose symphonic style full of certain dynamism, proven lyricism and grandiloquent beauty, hats off.

"Just Five Minutes" intro to VANGELIS Memories; it vibrates your stirrups before the jazzy tune pins you to your seat; Giuseppe's sax takes you to a smoky 'Roger Rabbit' style bar; the drums hit the eardrum, the guitar, the keyboard, everything is there to make you regress without getting bored; I have fun playing piano and guitar notes, yes jazz can be fun, in short very well done; we would forget that this title is a little over 5 minutes long. "Around the Corner" archaic piano, a note from SUPERTRAMP, a touch of rural mist; hushed vocals again, Federico goes on a fruity prog solo; the keyboard still leers on the bucolic atmospheres of BANKS, a little flute, we regress to GABRIEL; the piano seeks itself, forcing introspection; the orchestration is varied to leave the rhythm playful and navigate the memories of yesteryear while modeling the modern sound, a musical paradigm; dealing with childhood, its doubts, its expectations in a folk-jazzy then symphonic tune is art; art-rock for this breathtaking guitar finale with choirs coming straight from Olympus, magnificent. "The Question" intro that ANATHEMA loved to play, between latency, ideal atmosphere for reflection, the intimate, metronomic Floydian arpeggio; Carmine distils acoustics like a remedy for the damaged world, the sounds seem to descend from a musical waterfall, the bass explodes, the choir wanders before hearing Carmine's breathtaking electrified solo, pushing out of the album any other desire only very beautiful music; between WYATT and hard, between creation and absolute beauty; one of the most beautiful pieces of this year 2024. The dark, robotic finale with the serene piano.

"Living Like a Looner" as a bonus on CD with COLLINS-style pad, an alternative other than 'Neverland' for an eclectic, bouncy, borderline funky, quite hilarious derivation; the bad side of vintage prog which recalls certain current groups reveling in an unrenewed style, bonus it works.

INNER PROSPEKT releases this stunning album of mastery disseminating well-calibrated, non-boring jazz; intimate and atmospheric ambiances; emotion, the spleen tone, bordering on contemplative, ambient post rock; a concept for this haunting framework tinged with art-rock, symphonic and unique progressive rock. Inimitable. (4.5) Initially on Prog Profile.
