OTEME - L' Agguato, L' Abbandono, Il Mutamento (2015)

The second album from this one man band band from Italy.

This band is one of Stefano Gianotti from Nichelodeon's many solo projects. He does the percussion, harp, guitars, banjo, piano, organ and vocals here.

Numerous guests has added drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds and vocals.

The band has so far released four albums but I have only got this album and I shold have reviewed it many years ago.  

OTEME and the other projects Stefano is involved in is all avant-garde prog and RIO projects.

There is a lot of weirdo woodwinds driven melodies and themes here. Mostly by dissonant woodwinds.

There is also a couple of proper songs here too. Folk rock songs, that is. The vocals is good.

 This album is one hour long and gives good value for money.

The music is decent enough and will appeal to everyone into avant-garde prog from Italy or anywhere else. I am not entirely won over.
