FELONA E SORONA

Many things has already been said about the concept in this album. This is an interesting story about two distant planets, Felona full of joy and Sorona full of sadness. And contrary to ours first desires, solutions goes not to the recovering of Sorona, but to both of them reaching a point of balance. So, the concept is good to appreciate, but what about the music ? What about the follow up of a masterpiece named Uomo Di Pezza ?

I consider Felona E Sorona related to Uomo Di Pezza in the same way Tangerine Dream's Rubycon relates itself with Phaedra. Both are masterpiece that followed a prior masterpiece without a great change in musical direction. A band that performs this MUST be a first line one !

Felona E Sorone does not sound like repeating Uomo Di Pezza, neither seems to be its second lp of a double album. Compositions go on being superb, singular musical mark of Le Orme is perfectly here to be recognized. It is like their bag of creativity was not emptied they got internal resources to yield us another truly masterpiece that could not be left unknown for any music fan, doesn't matter the style in question. If we consider all of this and add another superb cover art, we get another easy five star rating.
