Another beautiful album, it doesn't have much to envy from its three predecessors; I place it half a step below because, although good, two of the three instrumentals, "Aliante" and "Notturno," don't make me tear my hair out. However, it's an album with nothing to throw away, featuring at least three songs among my favorites from the band ("Maggio," the folk-pop ballad "Frutto acerbo" that once again reminds us how Le Orme were also connected to simple songwriting and not just prog, and "La fabbricante d'angeli," another pitch-dark gem to add to their repertoire of sunny and reassuring lyrics...). The excellent title track is instrumental and contrapuntal (well, otherwise they would have titled the album "Quel mona di Adalbertopiero" or whatever), and "India" is another great song with an interesting text. Beautiful, inspired as always in ideas and melodies, with the almost constant alternation of "instrumental-sung" and "rhythmic piece-quiet piece" making the listening experience varied. A stellar album, indeed.
