Biglietto Per L'Inferno
Il Tempo Della Semina

Definitely a bit inferior to the previous one! If the first one has a certain biographical appeal, this one turns out to be a wholly moral summary of life.

Recorded in 1974, this second album was brought to light in 1992 thanks to "Mellow Records" due to the financial troubles of the old label, but it is now easily available in a new 2004 remastering under the supervision of the band. After more than 30 years, the sound quality is impeccable.

It is considered a less creative work compared to the previous one, but it contains very interesting guitar and keyboard passages. The influence in style seems to be more hard rock but Canali's voice is darker than ever (listen to "Mente Sola - Mente"). The highlights between the various sections become less ethereal but more captivating, for example, in "Vivi Lotta Pensa" there's a great electric guitar and an overwhelming Hammond. In the track "Solo ma Vivo", the wonderful keyboards accompany the electric guitar in interludes where a masterful flute enhances the composition of the lyrics. "La Canzone del Padre", lasting 10 minutes, is very varied and propulsive with a dreamlike acoustic guitar and a flute that has nothing to envy to the mythical Jethro Tull.

The album's production, driven by singer-songwriter Eugenio Finardi, sees the band writing lyrics about the political system and social issues. Either way, an excellent work, more leaning toward rock outbursts, more decisive than the previous one but unfortunately conditioned by external voices. From here on, the end of the band.

Another masterpiece!
