4 stars Pierpaolo Bibbo - one of the lesser known musicians in RPI field, but with debut being quite good and well performed, Diapason from 1980. This album got positive feedback in prog rock circles, but after this album was issued he remain in obscurity many years until Mellow records re release the album on CD in 1994. His name become in attention of younger geneartions of that period, including me.

When no one expecting another work from him, he pop out in 2012 a new work named Gnemesi, after 30 years of silence. A very solid album, to me his best work from the 3 released so far, it has another one in 2018 Via Lattea.

Keeping the atmosphere on melodic side of italian prog but with some more edgy passages on guitar, but aswell the keyboards and all are well done and played. Only complain is that is computer druming.

I like very much the atmosphere on this album, the vocal parts, all is quite good from the start to finish. Bibbò's voice and keyboards are excellent all through the album, with a plus on pieces like opening Il viaggio, the smooth Fratelo, or Metastasi d'autunno. Aswell Fabio Orecchioni did a fantastic job on guitar.

For me a nice yet very unnoticed album in prog circles, this is pretty much well worth investigate. Musicaly elegant in typical italian style, melodic yet. 4 stars for sure, unfairly unnoticed album.
