I AM CHANGING

Italian symphonic prog music as beautiful and tender as anything in the genre. Not much rock, but instead neat melodies on piano and acoustic guitars accompanied by fine flutes and lush mellotron sounds. I would probably have been just fine with the vocals and given the album a high rating, if it would have been in the native language of the vocalists. It would feel so much more authentic without that strong accent, although the female singer is considerably more comfortable with english. Because the male voice appears way more often than her, 'Chime of Times' and the instrumental songs 'Bright Autumn Dawn' and 'Fading Lights' are clearly most enjoyable, despite that most songs have excellent composition and quiet but grand epic soundscapes.
