...evocative imagery conveyed therein instead of a main battle tank or a cheap ripoff of symbolist painter Gustav Klimt on a bad acid trip. Que sera, that was the nature of the beast of the music business in the heady days of the early seventies when album covers that actually depicted the likeness of the artists were on the wane. High Priestess...

...evocative. A Wasteland of Memories opens with a spoonful of cinematic orchestra. Xavier's light and here somewhat cheerful vocals pop in and break up the intense melody. It is essentially a transition track, being much more lighthearted (relatively speaking, of course) than the tracks before it and after it. Following then is the second...

...evocative melody sung without words by Annarita Luceri in a way that reminds me of Noa and an exotic recitative part that leads to the heavier Niuru te core (Dark heart) where you can appreciate the contrast between aggressive guitar parts and more relaxed moments, between the raw vocals of Maurilio Gigante and the beautiful melodic voice of...

...evocative. The Bass playing of Renato is powerful and it sublimates, discreet and taciturn, but effective and simultaneously sober at moments of great musical tension, there is no doubt that is one of the underrated bass players, but if most skilful and with a great sense of the support and improvisation (please listen to the passage of...

NIMH (GIUSEPPE VERTICCHIO) - The Missing Tapes (2007)

The Article has images
2008-03-26 21:10:44 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...evocative sounds and industrial parasites. A very strange, rare combination of sounds that cant be missed. Track 3 carries on the same schema with a duel between traditional instrumentation and ultimately creepy dronescapes. Spiritual and moody at the same time. The last track includes a variety of collages, an evocative tapestry of sounds...

...evocative Celtic-tinged, Floyd-fed longish tunes that were sheer pleasure from beginning to end. Their second offering , Spirits of Autumn Past had some more amazing tunes but seemed to lack that spirit that characterizes their unique brand of prog-folk. In fact, as the lovely and supremely talented Heather Findlay took a larger role on the...

...evocative and a bit less sumptuous than the opener, still being genuinely energetic. Special mentions go to the electrifying synth solo that emerges at minute 3 and the fluid contrasts between softer and stronger passages. Fishbulb sounds like a lost HTM piece performed by Colosseum II it includes a funny quote from the popular The Simpsons...

...evocative Baiocco and with melodies firmly established in polyphonic, and indeed to begin there to touch in a tight style maintained in 7/4, with the genius of the Giorgo in the bass constructing a compass and an excellent scale that has the seal of rare virtuosity, so that Baiocco exhale note multiplicity in his saxophone, of sonata with...

Very good 3. - Aliante. - Different Melody that the group records in this work, I believe is the filling in this disc, with a rate of 7/8 in the style of the fact by Genesis in Supper's Ready mainly in the part of Apocalypse in 9/8, Pagliuca again standing out with the work of the keyboards and creating...
