IL TEMPO DI FAR LA FANTASIA

Well this Roman couple of clever musicians has been the most pleasant surprise of the recent history of the Italian Neo-Prog in the early nineties, and despite of deserving an inferior score in a few circumstances only (talking about for instance a tepid episode regarding the arrangement of the keyboards within "La Collana riflettente", although the rhythmical section is good yet), generally this concept about the Duke of Montefeltro and his own picturesque Ducal Palace of Urbino (a long suite divided into ten movements) is remarkable and often over the average: the 22 minute-long first suite "Il Canto n. 1" is a delicious game among the acoustic and the electric guitars, as they are able to alternate fast excursions to delicate passages: those are the direct harmonic solutions by Attilio Virgilio,well supported by means of short vocal parts...instead "Nel labirinto" -the last track-is characterized by a great lyricism, according to the tradition of the best Roman bands, such as Banco and Ezra Winston, making this album a very interesting "small jewel" and a piece of poetry as well!!
