Master of theatric (almost operatic) storytelling through music NICK COMIGLIO is back with another eclectic blend of
sounds and styles, often based in classical or jazz idium, but enhanced/embellished by electronic twists and effects,
theatric Italian vocals (Riccardo Ruggeri), frequent contributions from the vibraphone (Marta Caldera), and very solid
drum and bass play--thanks to Martino Malacrida and Maurino Dellacqua, respectively. Unfortunately, the music
sometimes feels a bit formulaic, rooted in rote traditions and borrowed progressions and styles, though the bombast
factor seems more reined in (or more polished and finessed) than on the previous Syndone album.Five star songs: 1. "Frammento" (1:01) (9/10); 4. "Gil spiriti dei campi" (5:27) (9/10), and; 7. "Alla sinistra dei mio petto" (3:08) (9/10). Four star songs: 9. "L'urio nelle ossa" (7:15) (8.5/10); 5. "Qinah" (6:10) (8.5/10); the MYRATH-sounding 8. "Fahra" (3:19) (8.5/10); 3. "Terra che brucia" (5:26) (8/10); 11. "Cielo di fuoco" (7:38) (8/10), and; 10. "Bambole rmk" (4:15) (7.5/10). A nice addition to a prog rock music collection--especially if you know and like theatric Italian prog.
