ULTIMOMIRAGGIO

This Italian band has two roots in the past. First the cover that has been designed by Mac Mazzierri who once created the cover of Le Orme their album Uomo Di Pezza. And second their sound that has obvious hints from mid-Genesis: tasteful and melodic symphonic rock delivering wonderful interplay between the guitar and dual-keyboards (strongly evoking Hackett and Banks) and good soli. The song Running Child contains pieces that are derived from famous composer J.S. Bach. To my surprise the vocals are not only in Italian but also in English. That is a pity because Italian should sing in their beautiful native language, the English vocals lacks a bit power and emotion. That's my only negative remark, just enjoy this pleasant symphonic rock albm.
