WARM SPACED BLUE

Having paid tribute to the sound of the classic RPI scene on their debut album (In Hoc Signo), for their second release Ingranaggi della Valle shift to a substantially more modern sound, with Pink Floyd-via-Porcupine Tree-esque space rock mashed up with brooding, foreboding synth-oriented post rock.

It's an interesting stylistic shift which might see them faced with accusations of selling out, though to be honest if they genuinely wanted to sell out they wouldn't be playing prog in the first place. Admittedly, I'm not quite as sold on this as I was on their masterful evocation of RPI classics of the past, but it was enjoyable enough and if this was a necessary stylistic departure for them to grow their craft then maybe it will pay better dividends on later releases.
