NAVELS FALLING INTO A LIVING ORIGAMI

So the album really begins around minute six after a kind of boring and overly sweet experimental pastorale like introduction. The blues like electric guitar embarks on a trippy and enticing prog/rock ride with some added electronic noises to build what could be track 3 on an uncut one track conceptual release by DAAL in 2018 and named Navels Falling into a Living Origami.

As far as minute 12 it´s easy to sense a less experimental songwriting, unlike "old school" DAAL, in favor of more friendly melodic lines and I suppose it worked out fine considering the appeal this album had in its days here in PA.

Around minute 21 there is a 4 minute intersection which clearly displays the "old school" I was talking about. Minute 24 marks the next "track" of this release with a piano/electric guitar based composition which take turns and build a somewhat King Crimsony mood although its finale runs a bit too long.

Minute 30- A two minute(+-) arpeggiated , dramatic piano counterpoint introduces the next section which could easily be described as Symphonic Prog with a blues oriented electric guitar which also serves as mid section before a symphonic exercise which actually ends up sounding less interesting without the guitar.

Minute 37. For those who like Progressive Electronic this 6 minute section will turn out quiet appealing.

After a bit of silence the last section appears. A kind of Italian version of one of this duo´s heartfelt influences, Pink Floyd, in between the Barrett & Waters era.

Now the crappy part of reviewing... rating !!

Would have loved to love it after all those favorable ratings and my early DAAL days enthusiasm but it actually stays short of 4 & 5.

3 PA stars.
