Lightdark

I discovered this group by chance, and I approached them without knowing that they were Italian or what they offered. I was blown away.

A project by a certain Giancarlo Erra to which other members have joined from this album, they give us a gaseous mix of Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Eno, and Sylvian, all provided to Erra to be characteristically reworked and infused with minimalism and sobriety.

Yes, if there's one thing that is universally appreciable, it's balance: the alcohol content is never high, actually, it isn't there, and a clear melancholy envelops, envelops, envelops. Right from the brief introduction, I feel a sense of well-being that has no equal; then when the slow drum of Places Remained laboriously presents a fantastic layer of keyboards and guitars that completely overwhelms you.

Yes, this is it. Listening to "Lightdark" is returning to the womb. The world will not seem more beautiful than before, because you will forget it and wonder if it ever truly existed. If you close your eyes, you will float slowly, carried by Erra's gentle voice that, with your hand held tightly in his, will lead you to a new, smooth, clean, clear world.

Yes, the clarity of pieces like Kites will dispel any doubts you may have had if any resisted the psychedelic journeys of the other tracks. It's true that with each chord of From Silence to Noise it will seem that at any moment Steven Wilson might pronounce "We lost the skyline...", but this makes everything more fascinating, like the ectoplasmic puffs à la Sylvian in The Misplay. And it will seem obvious to you that Someone Starts to Fade Away bears the voice of Tim Bowness, as obvious as the splendid cameos of a swelling double bass.

Yes, and in the end, you will agree with me that it's a shame that on Wikipedia there are only the English and Dutch pages of this gem of ours.
