The search for Prog-parts...
After
3 demos and a promo album, the Italian band AurA is one of the new
upcoming releases from MKM , New Dawn Series….
It’s
a shame that the quality of this album is extremely penalized by the
production .This band gets all characteristics to compose good songs and
actually this album gets valid ideas but also excessive technical parts
and a very mediocre arrangement.
The
search for prog-parts is not always well-structured and this aspect
(even if it shows the technical ability of these boys) doesn’t give
importance to the essence of the songs…
The
tentative is to remind of Dream Theater …but even if the band gets
great technique, the prolix structures of
Dream Theater are very far from these ones…
The
vocalist and drummer Giovanni Trotta has a good voice for this style,
he’s also able to sing very well without being excessive in high
tones.
Sometimes
I don’t like the sound of the synth, that seems very far from the new
releases….it seems like those used almost 10-15 years ago…
I
underline the sweetness of the closing track “Feelings” in which I
can’t but notice the great vocal performance of Elena De Miranda…
