SMOGMAGICA

No good. Even considering Le Orme one of the best prog groups in the world, and trying to appreciate the attempt of giving a chance to a good guitar player (and Tolo Marton is very clever, and recently has played in some live show with Tony Pagliuca), this is definitly not a good album: only some good passages, such as L.A., Laserium Floyd, and Laurel canyon. Better forget all other pieces. In general, it is like Le Orme lost their way: Pagliuca doesn't get a good interplay with Marton, Tagliapietra and Dei Rossi are simple extras, not surely at their usual levels. Also, in general Le Orme are melancholic enough (exp with Tagliapietra voice and lyrics)... but here you are led to cut your veins... Very very far from their past and far from their future.
