ZARATHUSTRA

Oh yes!! This album is simply one of the finest moments ever in Italian progressive, nowadays I could only compare it to "Dedicato A Frazz" by Semiramis, another masterpiece... "Zarathustra" is one of the most underrated albums in progressive history, in fact is excellently crafted, arranged and performed; the melodic lines are never silly or predictable, the variety of the moods keeps up the interest in the listening process, not to mention Galifi's vocal performance: superb. It is a concept album dealing with Nietzsche's controversial phylosophic work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" in which the author explained how the modern man had to sruggle to get out of his mediocrity to finally reach an ideal status of being and become a "Superhuman". The songs are all good, probably the "Zarathustra" suite is the best one, anyway, there are no weak points on this release. Too bad Museo Rosenbach suffered for their political ideas and did not have the chance to have a longer career like other bands, probably not that good, like PFM had, in fact this work is milestone of the genre nothing more, nothing less.

It's time to make justice to this album and give it the rating which deserves: 5 stars.
