Reviews


review by: Valerio


Here am I once again with a pretty nice project out from "la bella Italia".
Italian progrock scene is among the most important and affect the progressiverock movement worldwide.
 Daal second album follows the pretty highly appreciated debut on MellowRecords "Disorganicorigami and on Musea "rokstenen" a tribute to Svenska progressive, "The tales of Edgar Allan Poe" a syNphonic collection and "Paradiso" a progressiverock Epic.

"Destriktive Actions Affect Livings" is the perfect example of how difficult is to comunicate with people near us and the impossibility of comunication with those who are no longer among us. Daal is an introspective reflection of how our actions/behaviour affect people in our life and how this can be really destructive.

Music is cold and dark, roots are the synphonic Italian progrock scene added to a huge electronic/samples work which sometimes reminds me of the masters Heldon/Pinhas and our beloved Franco Battiato progressive era.

Alfio Costa composed the music and Davide Guidoni gives his high-skilled partecipation to the project. Alfio and Davide are DAAL, In "Destruktive Actions Affects Livings" there is the partecipation of important guests such as Riccardo Paltanin and Guglielmo Mariotti of the famous band The Watch, Ettore Salati on sitar from the band Soulegine, partecipation of Pensiero Nomade, Alessandro Papotto from the legendary band Banco del Mutuo Soccorso on horns and Bobo Aiolfi from bands Tilion and Prowlers.

I must admit it took me a deep listening to the album before getting into it, at first listenings  I was intrigued by the dark/obsession and agony it transmitted (my favourite feelings when I listen music!) and not by the compositions but especially listening it at night during the last winter i started to appreciate it in all its aspects. DAAL is a dense album with a huge work on sounds, filters and obsessive melodies, evil sounds which reminds that there is always a "bad" behaviour in all of us, a "destruktive" side of our soul. Mellotron and the multiple synths/keyboards makes this 100% desirable.

Booklet images give a pessimist view of life in the next future combined with that impossible way to comunicate and understand each-other that one day we will live in glass cages. Brrr... this album as an horror aspect inside.
Anarchist is dedicated to Giovanni Passannante who tried to kill the Italian King Umberto I in 1878, captured was condamned for life and remained alone in a cage under the sea leavel on an island until his death suffering like a beast, his guard never ever said him a word and sailors who crossed the sea near the Island heard terrible complaints coming from there, alone in the dark of a cold cage that he lost all his hair and his skin became grey and his body was swallen/inflated..."and even if you could kill me two times and I could reborn two times I would live again to do what I ve done".

An album highly recommended to everybody who reads our pages especially to synphonic oriented ones and "classic" progrock lovers with particular love to synthetic sounds and electronics.
