FORSE LE LUCCIOLE NON SI AMANO PIÙ

The lush opening tells me that this is not the type of hard rocking bombastic symphonic prog from Italy which has been my daily fare during the last weeks. Locanda Delle Fate drags the tempo down and consentrate their effort on understated lush, pastorial melodies. Melodies which slowly penetrates your skin and stays there.

The music is based on baroque and chamber music. Well, their music is basically chamber music, based on vocals and tangents (piano and keyboards) as it is. There are some flutes and guitars too here. Chamber music, this is.

The vocals is the strongest point of this album. The deep, opera influenced male vocals here is excellent. Oh, the vocalist's name is Leonardo Sasso. Praised be his abilities. The rest of the band too is excellent. So is the rest of the album. There is no real killer tracks here. But songs like Profumo di colla Bianca and Forse le lucciole non si amano più is really superb. But this album has this typical X factor lush feeling which seperate normal symphonic prog from Italian symphonic prog. An X factor you don't find in English, American, Scandinavian or any other European symphonic prog scenes. This album is one of the reasons I am exploring the Italian scene for more gems.......... gems like this album.
