SPETTACOLO ANNULLATO

These guys participated a couple of "progressive gigs-festivals" near Como Lake in the early nineties, organized by my first ensemble of Lethe, and I know that their background- varying from the atmosphere concerning the Italian Pop Progressive scene, to the early albums by Steve Hackett (Do you remember his album "Voyage to the Accolyte"?!?)-has been always affected by this kind of stuff!! The production is a bit weak and sounds dated (except on their digital synths), nevertheless their use of two keyboards,accompanying the leading guitar,is remarkable... the harmonic solutions performed by the guitarist are the main part of their suites...of course it is not a complete emulation of Steve Hackett, but for sure their sound is resembling here his early albums!!Therefore you don't find bombastic solos, but the wall of sound is compact and the output is convincing many more listeners, as long as They keep on composing melodic albums with a symphonic approach at least (for sure the band Locanda delle Fate has been always another important music reference for them!)

Cause of the features above, I should prefer to give a "2 stars and an half" rating, as the melodic and rather interesting music lines by this ensemble from Bologna (Italy) sometimes are not completely developed...but it never minds, you can check this stuff out at least!!
