2973 - LA NEMICA DEI RICORDI

This is their second album for this heavy Prog band. The music still maintain that dark symphonic sound with the Italian Prog influence and the music of the British scene like Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and King Crimson, the latter specifically in the song "La Stiva". The keyboards, the old Hammond, and the saxophone are stealing the show to the guitars leaving them in the background most of the times. The music is played at the fast pace, bombastic, with some slower passages to get a little breather and with the final song "L'Approdo" who is a beautiful ballad with some flute and piano passages. In the song "Onda Di Fuoco", we are very close to the Emerson, Lake and Palmer style and sound. All songs are excellent from my point of view, like it was my cup of tea. This is a nice improvement from their first album who has more psychedelic tones and guitars.
