IL TRONO DEI RICORDI

Excellent musicians and compositions, changing music, great atmospheres, powerful and beauty... Then, why this album isn't a masterpiece? Because IL TRONO DEI RICORDI has many neo-prog cliches: the rythmical section, the English language, a lot of MARILLION/IQ influences and -specially in the last track- obvious Gabriel-esque touches (in fact, "Visions Of The Daughters Of Albion" seems an excerpt from a GENESIS' album).

But one of the band's achievements was to amalgamate these above mentioned neo influences with the special and unmistakable Italian flavour of the seventies, resulting magnificent soundscapes and a lot of surprises at each track.

Altough not the most original, a highly recommended album. This is the kind of stuff that any prog fan could enjoy.
