5 stars ''inventive and dense''

In 2006, Yugen, the band from Italy of RIO/Avant-Prog released the fantastic ''Labirinto D'Acqua'', I spent months listening to this album, dissecting it to finally be able to express myself about what I think of this experience, and I'm I'm glad that day has arrived.

the 14 instrumental songs that together have a duration of 50 minutes flow smoothly, so smoothly that it doesn't seem to be that long, since the album begins with the interlude ''Sévére Réprimande'' at no point have I felt that this album is dragged on, but it only evolved more and more, and after this intriguing start, Yugen attacks with the intense ''Catacresi5'', this song is intense, complex, jazzy, and with a lot of textures in its sound with a lot of breaks in rhythm and with a beautiful piano solo, to be honest, I believe that all the songs on this album stand out and only add to the album, ''Corale Metallurgico'' and ''Brachilogia7'' which, in my opinion, are more intense than many Black Metal albums, how macabre ''Skellotron 003'' is and how beautiful and hopeful ''Quando La Morte Mi Colse Nel Sonno '' is, I feel a lot of feelings in the songs on this album, love, sadness, anger, hate, joy, it's fascinating how the members of Yugen know how to manage this time, with extremely adventurous and dense compositions, full of diversity, full of emotions, with so many things happening, and yet, all these elements are well put together, I love this album, everything about it is very progressive and unique, masterfully executed from beginning to end, ''Labirinto D'Acqua'' is a masterpiece, a sensational diverse experience and easily one of my favorite albums of my life, highly recommended.
