FORSE LE LUCCIOLE NON SI AMANO PIÙ

Sounding nothing like BANCO in my opinion, but a little like a mixture of PFM with early GENESIS, this album is a peach. Rich, melodic music with vocals having that very typical Italian male singers' slight gruffness at times (but definitely pleasant on this album).

Waves of keyboards, guitars, flute and vocals flow over you. Listening to the music makes me feel slightly melancholic and nostalgic. I can't speak Italian and don't understand the lyrics, so for the music alone to be able to actually evoke such emotions illustrates its power. I think this is an album for the romantic (not in the love sense). If you enjoy rich, melodic, symphonic rock with vocals then you will like this album a lot.

This highly melodious, very sentimental symphonic rock music may not be to everyone's taste, but I find it outstanding and play it often. I'm dithering: 4 or 5 stars? Oh, to Hell with it: 5! I just can't bring myself to give it less.
