NEI GORGHI DEL TEMPO

Consorzio Acqua Potabile were actually veterans of the first wave of RPI, but it was only in the prog revival of the 1990s that they had a chance to make their first studio album. Though they have interesting compositions and they deliver decent performances - keyboardist Maurizio Venegoni breaks out some particularly nice solos - the group are let down a little by the production standards on the album - some of the keyboard and guitar sounds seem rather cheap or underproduced, and the mix of the album sounds a little "off" to me. It's still a good listen, but it could have been a great listen had the band had the benefit of production values sufficient to do their music justice.
