I recommend this album to those who are looking for a musical That most progressive rock seems to accommodate, yet there is still something that I find very I have listened to this album MANY MANY TIMES, and I think that this isīecause I love this album's honest and raw nature. I would generally give an album like this a 3 star rating, but I feel that "Seasons" has earned It is a catchy prog song and is not overly complicated, something that I "Strange little baby" isĪnother great track. It is catchy and has some great melodies. "(Livin') borrowed time" is my personalįavourite track on the album. Song concludes with a climatic and uplifting ending. "Seven Seasons" is a fresh sounding prog track, and has a rather dark sound. My favourite tracks on the album are "Seven seasons", "(Livin') borrowed time" and "Strange Luca Sabia has a nice voice, pleasant to listen to, but a little Mystery in these songs that I personally look for in prog music. Is fairly standard there is very little here that hasn't been done before, but their is still an air of Originality here, particularly in the overall sound and production. The influences of this band are evident, but there is a lot of
There is nothing groundbreaking here, but the album "Seasons" has been spun over and over again in my bedroom over the past few months. Not absolutely essential but still an interesting item for art rock fans. Their third cd ("Seasons") is the more personal of the three, proving that the band can be original without totally abandoning their love for the old masters. The vocalist, although a little shaky, has a pleasant voice, sounding somewhat like a cross between Peter Gabriel and Steve Hogarth. They can rock like Hogarth-era MARILLION or cruise along simple, folksy tunes à la JETHRO TULL. None of their three albums really break any grounds, yet they offer an interesting mix of the bands mentioned above: melodious and subtle 70's prog / 80's neo-prog with a rich, full-bodied sound, focussing mainly on alternating acoustic and electric guitars. At last count, the group consisted of Luca Sabia on lead vocals and guitar (the only member from the original line-up) Alberto Callegari on bass, mandoline, flute, backing vocals, keyboards and samplers Paolo Lisé on drums and percussion and Barbara Martini on keyboards and backing vocals. In between gigs - and through a continuous turnover of musicians that threatened the band's inner equilibrium - they've managed to record their first album in 1990.
They've also participated in numerous compilation and tribute albums. They started off as a live act covering bands like GENESIS, MARILLION, JETHRO TULL and PINK FLOYD in various local clubs. The history of this band is so complicated, it's a wonder they ever stuck together long enough to record any album.
