DESTINAZIONI

1. Caledoscopio with the typical voice of Emanuela and immediately a fruity, energetic progressive rock, made of reminiscences of the great old ones, on GENESIS especially; come on, yessian acoustic guitar, Crimsonian bass, organ from times gone by, it spurts from everywhere; 'piano' we seem to hear, let's take the time to listen without getting carried away; a haunting guitar to throw perplexity 2. Banalmente throws itself on an RPI piece, I'll explain quickly: there's everything in it, classical, melodic, symphonic, rock with a superb guitar solo and a delightful prog metal of dreamlike keyboard on a neo vein, bringing another of crystalline piano, yes it's messy and it has .... head finally 3. Vetro with the surprising symphonic intro, quickly aired by a guitar arpeggio; choirs coming from Olympus or Syracuse, a pleasant anthem, the voice, yes you have to get over it otherwise it gets stuck; Emanuela sings well but it slows me down not to understand; and then the Italian voice the best for prog I do not endorse; a tribal pad, a zest of haunting notes, that is the typical trait of the group and the feeling of having a complex, shattered piece. The finale is intended to be Oldfieldian, al di meolesque, surprisingly musical 4. Strade Affollate delicate guitar arpeggio, the vocal that flirts with that of MECANO who also sang in Italian; in short a marshmallow piano-acoustic ballad, yes that is my style. The organ and the Irish bouzouki take pride of place to wander through musical encounters, amazing 5. L'Occhio dello Sciacallo for the vocal duo that smells of Italian songs from the 70s, theatrical and grandiloquent; an energetic nursery rhyme where the voice is the main instrument

6. Antares and its aquatic intro, the acoustic guitar, the violin, softness of the notes and an air that rises with the surprising medieval pad; latency and enthusiasm, the melody goes to two lands, can lose you, hang on to the organ of yesteryear. The metronomic piano follows it bringing the spleen guitar solo to proven progressive lands, all good especially Emanuela who launches into a thrilling finale that makes your head spin, excellent title, yes I'm starting to get the mood of this group unknown to my ears 7. Sono Luce piano arpeggio in a dried-up cascade; the synth starts for the bucolic ballad, hold on a bit of VOLLENWEIDER for the crystalline air, gripping with this heavy riff which stands out and finally gives consistency to the piece. Emanuela arrives, delivers limpid, solemn, overwhelming vocals; the guitar solo reminds me of MARILLION for its lyrical flight; the album focuses with the return of the waves 8. Quello che Rimane... maestro synth, dark, latent, with a folk-medieval pad which quickly takes you on a journey 9. Destinazioni stands out immediately by calibrating its RPI, a thunderous heavy riff at the base. After this cataclysmic surge the tone moderates with guitar arpeggio and bouzouki for a crescendic melodic path; it rises, it spurts, the flight goes to Anglican prog metal, even a riff from Antisocial, that's to say, I find myself there. The fruity keyboard takes me back to Italy, the distressing break halfway through still calls out to me, there's some good or very good like this nod to the 9th symphony, it's really bursting. Emanuela takes over in phrasing and launches Sandro for a neo synth solo; the air comes back, sets off again on an interesting evolutionary line, a bit repetitive, more contemplative, but I'm quibbling, this group managed to concentrate me for an hour without a break.

MELTING CLOCK RPI group with a strong symphonic character, striking eclectic. (Originally for Planète Prog).
