Editorial Reviews

Italian band ERIS PLUVIA performs a structured, refined and quite melodious music, in the style of GENESIS. Technically perfect and truly beautiful, it is built upon keyboards layers, shiny flute parts, saxophone, splendid vocals, guitars and an inventive rhythm section. Unique but quite excellent, "Rings Of Earthly Light" (1991) proves to be as good as EZRA WINSTON or SAGRADO, and can be placed at the same level as the best productions of the genre today. Here is then the perfect choice for fans of sophisticated, original, refined and flawless Progressive rock. A Classic of the Future !

This review is from: Rings Of Earthly Light (Audio CD)

Before I even liked this album, before I knew if it would grow on me, before I could recommend it wholeheartedly, I was stricken by the "sound" as I rarely am by any album. Whoever produced it has discovered a secret that too few producers of symphonic prog seem privy to. It is based on the simple principal that this genre is above all beautiful music and that beauty needs to be showcased. But in and of itself this is still not reason enough to overflow with accolades about the album itself. For that, I turn to the quality of the compositions, the vocals (in English), the instrumental interplay and range (winds, keys and guitars), the gorgeous melodies with enough complexity to grow with repeated listenings. Every cut is nothing short of a masterpiece, from the fusiony "The Broken Path" at 1:38 to the "side-long" title suite. The strongest of all is the closer "The Way Home", with superb saxophone and lead guitar, and a closing verse and theme that leave me wanting for both more music and oxygen. Buy!!!
