4 stars "Decalogue of Darkness" is the 8th album of this group in duet with a certain Davide Guidoni on percussion , which has released an intimate and very mesmerizing Album sour the name of B-RAIN. This album is actually composed of 10 orchestral pieces based on samplers and other Mellotrons played by Alfio Costa and the various percussions by Davide Guidoni himself; these different pieces, all passing the 70-minute mark, offers a musical adventuree on a post rock sound a little melancholy, with a lot of melancholy, depressive and intimate climates. The mellotron sounds vintage, while the ambient air gives in the ambient compositions with introspection. No voices, just instruments that cut notes to make you go on cold, Scandinavian continents, where each note leads you to reflection, meditation, appeasement. 10 movements in fact that provide a slow and inexorable feeling of relaxation, an impression of wisdom provided by the different melodies. One feels captivated by the sad and intimate sound, cold and icy, while keeping a dose of creativity that allows to recharge de facto, musical oxymoron in fact by the creative action generated.

In short, it is paradoxically with the last two tracks with basic piano support at the beginning that we realize in which universe we left; at this point the piano arpeggio seems to fall from the sky, it's a bit like chamber music while the previous tracks all flirt with the sound generated in its time by KING CRIMSON or ELP; the guitar here much more present catapults our stirrups and other anvils well scattered in the bottom of our ears for a feeling of fullness. An album to listen to in the evening to let you ramble before falling into the arms of Morpheus. Complex and heady, icy and hot as a morning ember.
