4 stars On the fourth album "L'isola di niente" (the English version is entitled "The world became the world") I trace again an obvious influence from early King Crimson, and again the 'feminine' side in the vein of tracks like "Epitaph" and "In the court of the crimson king" featuring bombastic Mellotron and Moogs along folky parts with acoustic instruments. Another influence is from Yes: powerful and propulsive bass guitar and guitars and keyboards with echoes from Howe and Wakeman. And some climates even contain jazzrock-like music, so there's a lot of varied styles on this album. ALTHOUGH AT SOME MOMENTS MY ATTENTION SLIPS AWAY, THIS ALBUM HAS MANY STRONG SONGS, ESPECIALLY THE COMPELLING MELLOTRON-DRENCHED TITLETRACK, GOOSE BUMPS!!
