As I expected from a RPI band, Darwin features some damn original music and some pretty emotional moments, every keyboards irruption is pure delight throughout the whole album. Interesting 'marionette' theatrical moments in 'Miserere Alla Storia', as I found in Goblin's 'Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark'. Another original track indeed is 'Ed Ora Io Domando Tempo Al Tempo...' - beautiful 'carrousel' sweet and lovely melody under a genuine baroque atmosphere. The weak track I found there is 'Danza Dei Grandi Rettili' (which is maybe a highlight for who loves prog fusion).
 
My fave tune is perhaps 'La Conquista Della Posizione Eretta' for its thriling atmosphere, it brings me a resemblance with the mood of Lalo Schifrin's 'Mission Impossible' theme, btw a damn good artist, I guess it is a GREAT idea to dig into his discography Wink
 
Darwin all the way through.

same here.. except I'm voting for Kew Rhone Thumbs Up

Banco has always been my least favorite of the big 6, and this album, though the obvious choice for the contest isn't even close to my favorite album. Oh it is damn good.. but it just didn't click like many other albums did.

Hated to go against Banco, but gave it up for some of my fusion blood, Herbie.
