NOSTOS

Very good an album. Old italian progressive style with strong hammond, piano and guitar oriented tracks. Good vocals. With italian singin, Nostos brings back the memory to the old italian school but it also bring some news. "Livia" is a strong isntrumental which reminds of terror movie like Balletto di bronzo, Terra Madre has a strong middle eight in 7/8 which is a mix between IQ and Genesis' Cinema Show. The keyboard player Gabriele Manzini played in The Watch, Genesis-like band from 2001 till 2004, so the influence is clear. Not bad at all! Get it! Nostos is a long suite based on Odissey. Strong lirycs, very filological. Also the cover of LA tua casa comoda of Balletto di bronzo is worth the price. One of the best italian prog albums of the last year. You can find it on www.btf.it
