4 stars This second CD from the Italian progrock band is their best, what a wonderful and lush 24- carat symphonic rock sound!

1. Il "Gia Sentito" E Il "Non Ancora" (1:35) : The first track features a mellow climate with twanging guitar and dreamy vocals.

2. Maggio (9:29) : A pleasant and varied up-tempo song, nicely coloured with flute, organ and electric guitar.

3. D'ombra, Vapori E Sabbia (6:41) : A fluent rhythm with a wonderful harmony between the keyboards (Mellotron and organ) and flute and fine soli on guitar and flute. This composition contains lots of good musical ideas..

4. Eleonora (4:20) : A dreamy one with twanging electric guitar.

5. Le Onde, Respiro Del Mare (8:46) : A very good composition delivering a compelling atmoshpere and spectacular keyboard play. The moods shift from mellow with flute and twanging guitar to up-tempo with bombastic Hammond organ and fiery electric guitar, the interplay between these instruments sounds also great!

6. Dioniso Inquieto (4:22) : Beautiful 12-string acoustic guitar (I love that sound since early GENESIS!), the piano supports a subdued, very sensitive electric gutiar solo.

7. Malcreanza (6:59) : Lots of excitement here: a break with a flute solo, Fripperian guitar work, a synthesizer solo on the Moog Prodigy (the 'poor man's Moog..!) and many changing climates.

8. D'io (3:40) : This short and romantic piece features vocals, twanging guitar and wonderful Mellotron waves.

9. Avant - Grado (9:20) : Another great composition that starts with beautiful flute and sparkling classical piano, then an up-tempo with with bombastic organ.

10. In Aeternum Veritas (0:58) : Only a voice and twanging acoustic guitar.

11. Meurglys III (The Songwriters Guild) (7:42) : Here is a VDGG cover featuring an intro with soft Mellotron and flute, then emotional vocals and fiery Fripperian guitar, many changing climates and a wonderful final part with organ and piano.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD ITALIAN PROGROCK ALBUM !!
