LA CURVA DI LESMO

Fabio Zuffanti is back--and this time with one of his better productions--thanks to the inputs of so many other Italian professionals--especially Stefano Agnini, the variety of vocalists, guitarist Fabio Gremo, and the others from La Coscienza di Zeno--as well as a veritable all-star lineup of members of top notch Italian prog bands like La Maschera Di Cera, Finisterre, Eris Pluvia, Il Tempio Delle Clessidre, Höstsonaten, Saint Just, Analogy, and Nickelodian.

1. "La Posa Dei Morti" (8:26) (17.25/20)

2. "L'isola Delle Lacrime" (17:14) (29.75/35)

3. "Ho Rischiato Di Vivere" (26:24) (44/50) i. Ho Rischiato Di Vivere - Parte Prima ii. Ritratto Di Donna In Nero iii. Memoriale iv. Gargoyle v. Ho Rischiato Di Vivere - Parte Seconda

B+/4.5 stars; a wonderful new addition to the kingdom of progressive rock music in the Italian operatic tradition. Definitely worth checking out for your selves.
