Musician and producer of the most prolific and quality
in the national prog scene, Cristiano Roversi has a rare
talent in my opinion, and that is the ability to contain
in every situation, in every project, the love for the origins
combined with taste sounds and the challenge to a more sound
fresh and current. The prerogative of a few, limited to
a small elite of artists following this "think" they are
able to constantly breathe new life to a genre now in constant
risk of screwing on himself.***
Journey Through Mine is the title of the third album
as Submarine Silence, recently published for Ma.Ra.Cash
Records He sticks to these premises, which ranks as the
excellent evolutionary step There's Something Very Strange
In Her Little Room (2013).***
Those who follow closely in fact the story of the mother
house, the Moongarden, will not find even some alternative
spark due to the last two works of the valance band, in
particular the last Voyeur. Although the band two distinct
and separate entities, the hands of Roversi (all imaginable
keyboards and bass) and trust and talented guitarist David
Cremoni are now an indisputable trademark, that spills promptly
with each listen.***
With the help of Emilio Pizzocoli on drums (a return)
and the voice of Guillermo Gonzales (former frontman Mothercare),
the Submarine Silence enact another journey in music between
the old emotions and new mold, between consolidated reminiscences
symphonic prog and most current and stimulating insights.***
Loudness fairytale, dare to sudden and modern inserts,
the interesting "pasta" of Gonzales voice, drumming always
calibrated and perfectly functional for the performance
of the songs ... from a technical and qualitative point
of view, even if they wanted to go is complicated find some
fault with this album. The seven pieces in the lineup offer
a continuous cascade of sensations, alternating instrumental
meaningful but slide to the sung passages of equal and genuine
intensity. There is cohesion yet this variety and I think
it was the best key and it is worth repeating, the massive
and exciting scores of keyboards Cristiano Roversi and arabesques
of the guitars David Cremoni.***
Of course, there remains no doubt that the evocative
and dreamy mood of the two addresses again the music to
emotional and vibrant coordinates; The three instrumental
passages on this subject are a perfect example, suspended
in the atmosphere, however dynamic and suggestive where
there are large tightened segments space (The Astrographic
Temple), episodes where is the romantic / epic mood prevails
(Canova's Gypsoteque), still others when all this fails
to rise exponentially emotionally and where the growing
and uncontrollable phrasing between piano, keyboards and
guitars breathtaking (Five Lands Nightwind).***
On the front of the tracks that provide vocals there
to record the good eclecticism Guillermo Gonzales, capable
of passing through idyllic moments of rare intensity (Black
Light Back), very marked rhythmic accents (Swirling Contour),
recalls and engaging flavors belonging to another season
of the progressive (the title track), touching episodes
in which the pathos reaches its peak (Butterflies).*** Not
much to add except applaud all of Submarine Silence components.
Album to have, Journey Through Mine will not disappoint.***
