4 stars This record consists of two side long suites like the previous album, in fact it's pretty similar to the previous album but just not as good.

"Io E Il Tempo" starts off with church bells as a monologue in Italian joins in. Organ comes in after a minute then the song kicks in. A calm with organ follows as drums join in then mellotron and guitar. Great sound 3 minutes in. It settles again as vocals come in. The song continues to shift and change. Check out the guitar 7 minutes in ! Love the vocals that follow. Keyboards are next to impress and they continue for the next several minutes. More great vocals 14 1/2 minutes in. Flute before 16 minutes as the organ floats. Solo bass follows as keys and drums join in. Guitar lights it up.

"Domani Io Vecchio" opens with pulsating keys with drums that build. Guitar starts to play over top. It settles with piano after 2 minutes, fragile vocals join in. Both the vocals and sound get more passionate. Nice. The contrasts continue. The tempo picks up around 6 minutes. Silence before 7 1/2 minutes then it starts to build again including reserved vocals. Organ 10 minutes in. Drums then guitar join in as vocals follow. Some beautiful guitar after 16 minutes that comes and goes. Mellotron as it settles while the guitar continues. The music stops 23 minutes in as spoken words and piano end it.

A solid 4 stars.
