LA RECENSIONE

Well, given the success of my reviews, I'm including by "request" this LP by Delirium by Ivano Fossati as well. The group's debut work.

I don't like to comment on every single track or the various musical transitions, my "fans" will have understood that, so even this time, put it on the turntable and enjoy listening.

 You never get tired of listening to it, this is music that, unfortunately, is no longer made.

 Dolce Acqua in its nine tracks touches on various melodic aspects; one could say that it spans many concepts of love, color, and poetry.

 "All that will remain of us is just a great bonfire..."

 "Dolce Acqua is one of the best prog albums ever made in Italy, an essential listen for any fan of the genre."
