3 stars The sound from this italian five piece band delights me from the very first moment: dazzling runs on the Minimoog synthesizer, floods of Hammond organ, majestic Mellotron waves and warm vocals. The tracks "Non ci credo piu", "Lunario" and "Passi dentro il tempo" are fluent tracks featuring powerful play on the guitar and keyboards. More mellow are the songs "Avalon" and "L'anima del cielo" delivering dreamy guitar and compelling organ and Mellotron waves, dynamic drums and emotional vocals. My highlight is the long composition "Pensieri affascinatti": Banks-like organ work, a break with fiery electric guitar and a lush grand finale, layered with vintage keyboards. A pleasant final song is "Mellotronmania", the name of the title speaks for itselfs, MELLOTRON SOUNDS!! Another strong effort from an Italian band, FORZA ITALIA!
