THE DREAM (Zauber) - 1978


"The Dream" is the only album released by Zauber, little-known group from Turin (yeah, my home town) that combines the genre progressive Baroque, Italian classical and medieval music. The disc is characterized by simple melodies, yet appealing, long instrumentals and lush arrangements to which the instrumentation is typical of rock bands are supplemented by xylophone, glockenspiel, flute, harmonica, viola, cello, flute and oboe. Although references to Jethro Tull and King Crimson are far more melodic rare, "The Dream" presents the most immediate songs, Baroque. In any case, an album to listen to and enjoy. In my opinion: with the help of a high-level post-production, eliminating that traditional - and sometimes annoying - Italian singing style of the seventies, the Zauber could certainly get more glory. But, I repeat, this is a review of all questionable.
personal mark ( poor / fair / good / separate / very good / excellent ): Distinto .

“Il sogno” is the only one album released by Zauber, an unknown prog rock band from Turin, Italy (yeah, my home town) combining progressive Baroque, Italian classical music and Medieval music. The album features simple, yet appealing tunes, long instrumental suites and lush arrangements in which the conventional four-piece rock group instruments are supplemented by xylophone, glockenspiel, flute, harmonica, viola, cello, recorder and oboe. Quite close to the Jethro Tull’s and King Crimson’s style, “Il sogno” provides a set of more immediate, Baroque pieces of music. All things considered, an album worth to be listened to and discovered. In my opinion, Zauber could have achieved more ambitious goals if only they had been supported by more accurate and experienced post-producers and had done away with the typical - and, sometimes, fastidious - singing reminiscent of the 1970s Italian easy listening pop music. But this is just an opinion of mine.
My personal mark (poor / pass / good / fairly good / very good / excellent): Fairly good .
