SOGNI IN UNA GOCCIA DI CRISTALLO

Prowlers is listed as a Rock Progressivo Italiano band. This album does not have the typical retro Rock Progressivo Italiano sound though. It also has a very contemporary sound. The world has moved on since the 1970s and so has this band. The light female vocals (by Laura Mombrini) here also sets Prowlers a part too. The music feels like it has been built around Laura's vocals. The sound on this album is therefore rather light and flowery. No heavy guitars and no heavy keyboards cascades. Prowlers whispers where most other Rock Progressivo Italiano bands screams.

The sound is great. But the lack of any really great songs here is a major problem and this album's undoing. The music is too pedestrian and does not offer that much variation either. This is still a good album, but nothing more than that. Those who likes Rock Progressivo Italiano in the vein of Pink Floyd will appreciate this album more than I do, though.
