20.000 LEGHE SOTTO I MARI

Nuova Era is a band that was first active from the mid 1980s through the mid 1990s. Their sound was definitely retro, but it was more exciting and inventive than a lot of their contemporaries in the Anglo-prog world. Following their 1995 album, they took a 21 year hiatus before releasing a pretty solid return. Nine more years have passed, and they're back with their sixth LP. Consisting of just two huge songs (clocking in at 36 and 16 minutes), these suites cover a lot of ground. The immense title track is dramatic and emotive, and the many parts flow together fluidly. That said, I don't think it needs to be one huge song. It simply feels like a gapless album released as one track. The 16-minute instrumental "Nautilus", meanwhile, feels shorter than its runtime and is a great listen.
