This is a little mistake: it's taken from Dante's Comedy, but the door should lead to the "anti-inferno". Percussive piano and bass with water sounds to start "La Porta Dell'Inferno". Another very complex and "circular" song. Vocals like in Mozart's magic flute are replaced by a cymbal, then piano and vocals. It's still a 3/4 (almost) but the tempo is accelerated. ![]() It's folky and theathrical in the same time, with excellent vocals again. The electronics behind have a vintage sound but is remarkable the dialogue between guitar and piano before the last sung part and the coda. "Satan" has an obsessive rhythm and has the theathrical flavor of a rock opera. This is a progressive track as I think people usually intends "progressive": sung parts alternated with instrumentals, structured as a suite with different movements and recurring themes. The high pitched voice of Sophya joined in a choir by whom? Maybe Sonja Kristina who features in the guests? The guests list is another thing to check. "Angel Of The Revelation" starts with electronics and piano, then vocals and a proper song starts. ![]() The introduction "William" is a symphonic piece of beauty with a guitar of the "not a misplaced note" kind, like Andy Latimer is used to do, some "mute" vocals and a very nice melody. I'm not expert in William Blake's poetry but this album has made me curious. Symphonic orchestral arrangements on melodic bases and a concept behind. I should have reviewed other albums before this but it's the first thing that I listen from this artist and I wasn't expecting anything like this. Baccini, Sophya / Arcadia - Big Red Dragon 19-BWR 162
