The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds, flutes, guitar synth, vocoder and vocals.
A dozen of guests, including Steve Hackett, provided congas, basses, kawal flute, guitars, nickelharp, narration and vocals.
Their 2007 debut album Febo was a promising album. An album with a mix of Pink Floyd psych rock and RPI.
Five years later, and we get a new album. A far more ambitious album with guests from PFM and the likes of Steve Hackett.
The music is still very pastoral and laid back psych rock in the vein of Pink Floyd. There is also a long narration part with some avant-garde music in the background. Then we also get some more classic RPI.
...And that is this album.
There are some woowinds and a lot of flutes here in addition to the regular instruments. The Italian vocals are good.
The quality is a mix of decent and good. That long narration piece in Italian did nothing for me and is rather poor. That aside, the rest of the album is good.
It is still an album well worth checking out.
2.5 points
