"Decalogue of Darkness" has the magic of the great progressive sound: a magic created by the immensity of Mellotron, moreover it has a symphonic force that makes the 10 chapters truly exciting. Soon we realize that we are in the presence of a formation well above average, especially because the Daal, while taking the most important themes of the sound of seventies, can always be very personal thanks to an explosive creativity supported by an enviable individual technique. The Mellotron that colors "Chapter I", the more than 16 minutes of "Chapter II" marked by brilliant instrumental intuitions, and a final funambulist part, that can remember the best King Crimson of the early days. Impressive changing scenarios in "Chapter IV", which starts quietly and then turns into a progressive explosion ... this song is a masterpiece !!! As always, they are accompanied by Ettore Salati on guitars and Bobo Aiolfi on bass, who perform their work with taste and professionalism. So the Daal, after the extraordinary Dodecahedron, have produced a new creature destined to become one of the most beautiful Italian progressive albums of the last 10 years. Simultaneously with this record, we should mention the release of "Navels falling into a Living Origami", a cosmic suite of over 45 minutes that detects an experimental face of the group, but not less important.
