Cristiano Roversi is an Italian
multi-instrumentalist who formed in 1994 Moogarden. Antiqua
his third solo album is very inspired by the progressive rock of the
70s. The artist claims himself, his mentor is Anthonny
Phillips (lead guitarist of Genesis). Cristiano is
surrounded by many artists to this album, for vocals, drums, guitar, or
bass. Nine titles, fifty-one minutes, two feature films,
Tales From Falling Solitude Suite, a signed Ed Unistky artwork worthy of a book
of fairy account, here's a few words Antiqua. was
discovered relatively instrumental album, not necessarily technical sometimes
sinking into the facility, a very cinematic music, interspersed with progressive
touches, a rhythmic Genesis, twelve string guitar sounding at times like Hackett
and his good old keyboards, Hammond organ and Mellotrom.
Melodies s listen to it with ease, but some passages are likely to
challenge you, like singing on Tales from Solitude Suite that comes completely
cannons progressive rock, almost shocking the first time and we ended up finding
a very attractive once the last surprise. There is also
L'amore, sung in Italian pop genre blah blah which ends still on progressive
sound. Revelated Nessie's atmosphere and Falling is
mesmerizing. The first part of Falling is simply magical
with the voice that sings Leonora names of beings or machines
vollent. Celestal Slowfall lacks a bit of pep, and it is a
shame the music is a bit too linear and expected an instrumental this
time. Dimlit Tavern, although it is quite simple magic has
obvious with acoustic guitar where one feels the influence of Anthonny
Phillips. There is also the presence of the wheel Vielle
played by James Larcombe which gives one side as progressive folk very
friendly. Antiqua is a very instrumental Hackett with Gigl
Cavalli Cocchi percussion. One of the highlights of the
album titles, more thorough, more musical, very prog. Afterwards there sometimes frankly too easy melodies like Nirayed's
Secret Diary, which adds nothing to the album in my opinion where the final of
the album, Antiqua's Evening. But the overall impression
remains a very nice album, which listens without effort, that does not tire,
pretty progressive references. In short, we spent a great
time with her. Posted by Neoprog the
