Riflessioni Al Tramonto

A new collection in the Italian series. This one features ten down-to-earth rcok tracks, without unnecessary ambition to be over-complex just for the sake of being very "progressive". Instead, you'll find an excellent blend of guitar soloing, occasional (quite decent) use of the flute, pleasant voices, a healthy dose of keyboards, and such.

Tracks:

  1. Ibis - Narratio
  2. De De Lind - Paura del Niente
  3. Aria Palea - Scena Dopo Scena
  4. Flea - L'angelo timido
  5. Il Bacio Della Medusa - Ricordi Del Supplizio
  6. Alusa Fallax -  Riflessioni Al Tramonto
  7. New Trolls - Nato Adesso
  8. I Teoremi - Impressione
  9. Rocky's Filj - Martino
  10. Osanna - Non Sei Vissuto Mai
