IO E IL TEMPO

Nuova Era's third album still finds them in a rather ELP-influenced phase, much like on their second album - indeed, the structure of two sidelong epics is repeated again this time around. And, once again, it's keyboardist Walter Pini's playing which completely dominates proceedings this time around. I would say as far as attempts to reclaim the ELP sound in an RPI context go, it's a little more successful than the previous album, but there's really little to choose between them except that I think this time around the production is a little tighter; if you liked one, you'll like the other
