New Trolls - Concerto Grosso, The Seven Seasons mp3 album

Most reunion albums by old progressive rock bands are disappointing. The latest collaboration between Nico Di Palo and Vittorio de Scalzi, arguably the most important members of the original New Trolls, is anything but. If anything this may be New Trolls' best album to date. Nico Di Palo's vocals have never sounded better and his Italian accent is now so muted at to be almost undetectable. The style of the album is pure '70s progressive with heavy classical quotation, so this truly is a follow-up to the two previous Concerto Grosso albums (1971 & 1976). Of course, de Scalzi and Di Palo have the advantage of 21st century recording techniques and another 30 years of experience. The result is an amazingly crisp album that aptly demonstrates that the progressive rock /classic rock style is anything but dead and that new, creative, and enjoyable music can still be recorded by the right artists. Here is '70s art rock just lightly updated for the 21st century. "Concerto Grosso, The Seven Seasons" is absolutely brilliant and highly recommended for all progressive rock afficionados, not just fans of New Trolls.
