If the debut was remarkable, here we're on levels that are nothing short of stellar; this album is a bit of a masterpiece. The very first track, Non c'è tempo da perdere, is perhaps my favorite piece by Perigeo, almost 9 minutes of musical perfection. Then come other gems; I almost have to mention all the tracks because each one is more beautiful than the last: Rituale is perfect in every single second, with a powerful crescendo, Abbiamo tutti un blues da piangere is a wonder from every perspective, one of the most unforgettable pieces in our music scene, the melancholic Nadir is fantastic, and the nine and a half minutes packed with insights of Vento pioggia e sole are the cherry on top. Perhaps the album is a bit more tranquil compared to the previous and subsequent works of Perigeo, but that's a flaw that's totally relative to the listener; if someone adored the frenetic energy of many points in Azimut, they might find themselves in different waters with this second chapter. For me, it's wonderful just the way it is; I would truly change very few things about this excellent second album. 9/10, don't miss it at all.
