CIELI SOTTERRANEI

I wish I was as enthusiastic as tszirmay about this record. I do like the style of music they play but listening to almost 66 minutes of that same repetitive style is just too much for me. The last song is my favourite but by the time I get there i'm done. Regardless, if you like laid back Psychedelic music chances are you'll like this alot.

"Fratelli D'Italia" opens with atmosphere then the drums come in and build after 1 1/2 minutes. The guitar echoes and piano helps out too. Organ before 5 minutes as the thunder booms and the rain comes down. Guitar and spacey sounds follow.Spoken words before 11 minutes as the guitar lights it up, then it turns spacey again and blends into "Ahisma". Spoken words come and go throughout this track.

"Cieli Sotterranei" opens with piano only then it turns spacey as the guitar echoes. A beat comes in before 3 minutes. A fuller passage comes and goes. "Terra !" is once again laid back. Some vocal melodies before 3 1/2 minutes. Guitar to the fore after 4 1/2 minutes and some good organ late. "La Stanza Di Mandelbrot Parte I" is spacey as sounds come and go. "La Stanza Di Mandelbrot Parte II" is more of the same really. "Cieli Sotteranei-Frattale" builds and we get some vocal melodies half way through. I like this. Silence 7 minutes in for over a minute. Then we get what sounds like music from a parade. That earlier soundscape with a spacey vibe takes over. Church bells end it.

So a good album that fans of mellow Psychedelic music should enjoy.
