20.000 LEGHE SOTTO I MARI

It's a 4.5 star for me for the latest Nuovo Era offering. Two tracks at around 36 minutes and 16 minutes,so plenty of time for the band to showcase their talent. The title track at 36 minutes certainly doesn't feel like it. The 20,000 Leagues theme enables some watery effects - a bit less than Vangelis Oceanic! - to demonstrate the theme of the piece. Mellotron is omnipresent - always a good thing ! - and vocals are in Italian,though the piece is mostly instrumental. There are various mood changes throughout,but multiple keyboards lead - one synth effect I'm not entirely keen on ( starts the track and appears now and again) The playing is superb -some hints of Hackett,Gracious ( Heaven) , King Crimson ( finale) and other classic RPI bands. The mellotron is marvellous and elevates the piece when used. The 16 minute track is more aggressive and gives the lead guitar more room. Another enjoyable track. It will probably be in top 10 albums of the year for me
