Work that smells of incense, this is the second album from Le Vibrazioni. An album that, from the very first notes of "Aspettando", with that very psychedelic English '60s sitar intro, openly cites the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
The songs (all recorded live) follow one another in a sequence without dead points.
"Aspettando" is perfectly Seventies, "Angelica" is an "incantevole poeshia", "Sensazioni" and "Immagina" are two funky tracks that bear the influence of James Brown and the RHCP. "Raggio di sole", the first single, sounds like an old Italian prog band, as does the Sanremo extract "Ovunque andrò", a melancholic ballad that recalls some pieces by Jethro Tull. But the best track on the album is certainly "Ogni giorno ad ogni ora", for the happy combination of lyrics and music. Pink Floyd-esque references in "I desideri dell'anima dannata", with that bass and electric guitar that bring to mind dear Gilmour and Waters (with due comparisons).
What can I say... a truly delightful album, a perfect bridge between the '60s/'70s and today, with a rare (in Italian pop) attention to lyrics and atmospheres from real masters. Chapeau.
They have managed to write and play a truly beautiful album.
Their immense passion for rock, especially that of the ’70s, leads to great references.
Really an excellent performance, the kind I like, gritty like a true rock band.
LE VIBRAZIONI II is an homage to 60s-70s rock, winking at Led Zeppelin and Italian legends like Battisti and Pfm.
From that day on I’ve been a huge fan of Le Vibrazioni.
In Sarcina’s movements, you can glimpse a certain Jim Morrison wanting to come back to life, shaking everything around him.
