ZARATHUSTRA - LIVE IN STUDIOMuseo RosenbachRock Progressivo Italiano |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website


"Dell'Eterno Ritorno" is prefaced with a newly-penned "Intro" section - I hear some middle- eastern influences and don't quite understand the connection but the song proper begins soon enough. I was taken aback immediately by the crisp, modern production; I expected Live in Studio to sound good, just not this good. For a live album, the performances are spot-on and maybe even a little too perfect. Lupo sounds like he hasn't aged a day and his voice is in incredible shape. Golzi and Moreno also provide impressive contributions, doubly so for Moreno who also serves as bandleader and artistic director. "Degli Uomini" and its immediately recognizable Mellotron intro take things up a notch in the energy department. The keyboard sounds are actually pretty authentic for software synths - of course I would prefer the genuine article, but from a logistical standpoint they make more sense. "Della Natura" is an accurate portrayal of the original, though some liberties are taken here and there. The palm-muted guitar technique is overdone at times, but the general spirit of the song is never lost.
The 22-minute "Zarathustra" suite and its five movements are faithfully reproduced, though the new band members are permitted to leave their stamp and make it their own. Andy Senis in particular does a great job re-imagining some of the bass lines, in many cases improving upon the original. Again the keyboards are tasteful for the most part and Golzi is just a beast on the drums. Live in Studio is well done if somewhat unnecessary. I would much rather hear some new material or have a DVD of the performance instead. As a contemporary release it is still miles better than 90 percent of music today, and the timelessness of the original is fully vindicated and celebrated. And it's a lot of fun.
