This short release (four tracks, roughly half an hour) is quite strong. It should definitely appeal to fans of classic Italian progressive rock. I’d have to say, though that those more mainstream prog fans who don’t mind that the lyrics are in Italian will probably love this, too. The music is more mainstream than a lot of Italian prog acts. It’s very closely tied to the progressive rock of the 1970s. It’s inventive, creative and accessible. It’s also great.

Keyboards bring this in with a gradual build up. Before the one minute mark other instruments begin to join. Then it powers out to a high energy progressive rock jam that is purely classic. By the time the vocals join past the two minute mark it has dropped back to a mellower version of the same jam. They power it back upward for the chorus, though. The jam that follows that chorus is especially tasty. The pattern of mellower verses and more powered up choruses continues. We get a meaty guitar solo section later. This thing continues to grow and evolve and is a great piece of music. It’s an excellent way to start the set in style.
