The second album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band returned again with this forty minutes long album after a seventeen-years long break.
I reviewed their 2008 debut album Secret Passages some days ago and that is a very good album. Hence, I had a lot of expectations for this album.
Secret Passages had a lot of epic and monumental sounding symphonic neo-prog. I was hoping for more of the same on Tales Of Water...
... But that is not what we get here. The band members has gotten older and must have mellowed a lot. The result is forty minutes with mellow neo-prog with some manstream rock influences.
The music is mid-tempo with a lot of both acoustic and electric guitars. That in addition to the piano, keyboards and vocals. The vocals are in English and they are good.
The music is slightly pedestrian. However... The songs here are good although they are a bit sparse on the interesting details front.
This is a good album indeed and worth checking out if mellow neo-prog is your thing.
