The debut album from this artist from Italy.
Mauro Montobbio did the bass, guitars, guitar synths, keyboards and drum programming here.
He got help from numerous guests who added drums, bass, piano, organ, keyboards, flute, saxophone and vocals.
Mauro played in the Italian bands Narrow Pass and Eris Pluvia plus added a track to the first Rome Progject album before he started to write and record this album. An album guested by Nick Magnus and many of the musicians Mauro has worked with in the RPI scene.
The music on this album is a crossover between musicals and symphonic prog.
It is mostly a symphonic prog but some of the vocals, female vocals, takes the music well into musicals and rock opera territory.
There are also some RPI is the music here.
Most of the vocals are in English and that is a bit of a disappointment. The one song here in Italian is very good and the Italian language would have suited the music here better than the English vocals, good as they are.
The music is sweet, mellow and mid-tempo. The sound is very good.
The result is a very good one hour long album. An album which should be on a lot of top ten lists for this year.
3.5 points
