PROGENESI - "Ulisse l'Alfiere Nero"
"Homer's words have granted eternity to Ulysses and his story: is it possible to tell it with images and sounds...?"v"Ulisse l'Alfiere Nero", the debut concept-album of Italian band Progenesi, was born with this clear ambition. There is the experience of the classic 70s prog-rock (ELP, Genesis, Le Orme, PFM), the research in the psychedelic path of Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree's contemporary style, a passion for symphonic music by Beethowen, the romantic lyricism of Chopin, the compositional ideas of the first '900 (Bartok in particular) up to the sounds of jazz (specifically Coltrane, Brubeck and Russell). Thus the music of this album has a strong descriptive and narrative character, which is combined with a set of photographic pictures, both functional to the portrait of Ulysses in the famous episode of the Trojan horse.
