STORIA MAI SCRITTA

Enzo Capuano from Italy put out one album back in 1975. This is a laid back affair with lots of acoustic guitar. I must admit this has been a hard one for me to get into. I suppose my lack of love for Prog-Folk is the reason, I just wish the keyboards took on a greater role.

"In Forma di Vita" builds then a calm arrive before a minute. Reserved vocals follow with what sounds like string-synths. A beat after 6 minutes with vocals takes over. Not a fan. More string- synths follow. I like the keyboards 7 minutes in. "La Nuova Stagione" opens with gentle guitar melodies, it does get fuller after 1 1/2 minutes. "Volo Nella Notte" opens with more laid back guitar. It picks up before a minute then we get a calm. It picks up again as contrasts continue. Not enjoying this.The organ though is another story after 2 1/2 minutes, it just doesn't stay long enough.

"Risveglio" opens with mellow guitar. It's fuller before a minute. A calm follows before it picks up again with strummed guitar. "Dal Tempo Vissuto" features intricate guitar with light drums and string-synth-like sounds. A calm ends it. "La Natura Dentro" is pastoral once again with not a lot going on until around 2 minutes. It does settles to a calm before picking up again. "Memoria" opens with strummed guitar followed by drums then keyboards before 2 minutes. It settles before 3 1/2 minutes as the tempo continues to shift. "Il Buio" has vocals and a light beat with guitar. It picks up after a minute. The sound of traffic ends it.

Barely 3 stars but fans of Folk will find lots to enjoy on this reflective recording.
