The keyboardist of Moon Garden and Mangala Vallis (to name two of his most
important projects) Cristiano Roversi gathered on his third solo album "Out of
Print" some known in the Progszene colleagues. Bernardo Lanzetti including
(among others Mangala Vallis and PFM), Aldo Tagliapietra (Le Orme), David
Cremoni and Mirko Tagliasacchi (both at Moon Garden) and Gigi Cavalli Cocchi
(Mangala Vallis). Despite this, "antiquarian" more influenced by Roversis great
role model Anthony Phillips, as for example the typical Italian Prog With the
possible exception of the vocal contributions of Lanzetti "Tales from Solitude",
the - The be very theatrical, many - not typical of "antiquarian. guests but
make sure that "Antiqua" not like an album of a lonely solo artist anmutet.
Lanzetti The guest vocalist, Tagliapietra and Leonora could take notes on the
arguments put forward by their songs.
Antiqua is Roversi for a dream country in which you avoid the pressure and
concentrate on the expansion can. (Like the fans expect and Anthony Phillips and
may only be this group of listeners as "antiquarian" arrangements). How to play
in the lyrical symphonic reveling, some of keyboards and acoustic guitars
Retroprog the formative role of "antiquarian". You have to make friends only
with the more frequently used drum machine. Personally, I'll take it in his
enthusiasm about his own work by speaking a masterpiece Cristiano Roversi said
machine is not bad. Mitigating circumstances for me include the fact that these
plays on "1984" by Anthony Phillips an important role. The drum machine gives
some pieces of "roman" now time the electronic (or some listeners .... maybe a
little less refined) touch.
"Nessie Revealed" and the first part of "Falling" dedicated to electronic
music. While "Nessie" indulges symphonic bombast, the first part of "Falling"
from esoteric women chant to ambient-like accompaniment. In the second,
"Celestial Slow Fall" said part of "Falling" delicate acoustic guitars sound as
support for lyrical flute and oboe-posts. Presumably, the wind instruments, as
well as later in the same upcoming choirs, virtual origin. Very pretty, like the
medieval and Celtic elements in "Dimlit Tavern" integrated. The piece is a
celebration of Phillips and Steve Hackett fans. In "Out of Print" (the title
track) are - somewhat surprisingly - African rhythms and - less surprisingly -
used guitar and synthesizer solos.
The album I'd stylistically mostly between the works of Anthony Phillips,
"The Geese and the Ghost", "Tarka" (with Harry Williamson) and "1984" to see,
without me "Antiqua" unconditionally and continuously want to certify the same
class.
Whether "Antiqua" is truly a masterpiece, each handset to answer for
themselves. In the rare category "symphonic Retroprog with trips to Electronic"
Roversi is at least represented with a very good work. Through its execution of
this kind of music seems a little now and then to build on neo prog and New Age.
I think this is an interesting and not disturbing facet.
