4.0 out of 5 stars Solid effort., January 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Storia O Leggenda (Audio CD)

Storia O Leggenda is far better than either Smogmagica or Verita Nascoste the recordings that preceded and followed this effort. Where Le Orme was still wrestling with modifying their sound, the efforts here are much more consistent in both composition and production. Less poppy more progressive. A fine effort.Recommended...Simon

Le Orme always had a well-developed sense of melody and the ability to string shorter ideas together into a cohesive whole (i.e., Felona e Serona). However, whereas earlier songs (sometimes) seemed like undeveloped fragments, on Storia o Leggenda, the shorter pieces stand on their own. This is a wonderful recording that has all of the classical posturing, analog synthesizers, rhythmic complexity, and the melodrama of their earlier works yet presented in a much more stripped down manner and is somewhat more mature sounding. One does not need to understand Italian to appreciate this disc. An absolute must for Le Orme fans and fans of Italian progressive rock.

Another great album from Le Orme. Again, not knowing Italian I have no idea what it is all about, but the music here is magnificent, the vocals all very well done and the lyrics......all in Italian so I have not a clue. I don't have much more to say about this one other than this is classic Italian progressive rock at its finest.
