about

I genovesi Eris Pluvia contribuirono nel 1991, con l’esordio “Rings of Earthly Light”, alla rinascita della scena progressiva italiana; un disco da annoverare senza troppe esitazioni tra i classici di quel periodo, che purtroppo non ebbe alcun seguito fino al più recente “Third Eye Light”, edito da AMS Records nel 2010 (AMS 188 CD).

“Different Earths” esce perciò a sei anni dal predecessore, rinnovandone la formula e restituendoci una band ancora ispirata, che allo sfoggio di tecnica tipico di certo rock progressivo preferisce un approccio più delicato e lineare ma non per questo meno sentito ed emozionante. I nomi di riferimento non sono cambiati nel tempo: Camel e Pink Floyd in primis, omaggiati in particolar modo negli assoli di chitarra, negli interventi di flauto e nei tappeti di tastiere.

Anzi, è innanzitutto la pastorale semplicità il punto di forza di questa release, che riesce nel difficile compito di risultare attuale pur ispirandosi a gruppi e sonorità del passato. Un disco emozionante!

The Genoese band Eris Pluvia contributed in 1991, with the debut album “Rings of Earthly Light”, to the rebirth of the Italian progressive rock scene; a record to be counted without much hesitation among the classics of that era, which unfortunately did not have any follow-up until the recent “Third Eye Light”, published by AMS Records in 2010 (AMS 188 CD).

“Different Earths” comes then six years after its predecessor, renewing its formula and giving us a band still inspired, that prefers, to the display of instrumental technique typical of certain progressive rock standards, a more delicate and linear, heartfelt and exciting approach. Eris Pluvia’s reference names have not changed over time: hints of Camel and Pink Floyd can be heard especially in the guitar solos, in the flute melodies and in the sustained keyboard sounds.

Indeed, this release finds its strength in the pastoral simplicity of its songs, which succeed in the difficult task of being up to date while referring to groups and sounds of the past. An exciting album!

I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-)) As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing! Carsten Pieper

So what kind of music is this? "Symphonic Prog Folk" maybe...?! Difficult to put this into a drawer. Anyway, it's among the best things I've found in the last few years. The songs are of stunning beauty, with rich keyboard and guitar arrangements, plus flute, violin, and classical brass and woodwind. And let's not forget the most appealing female vocals. Just pure pleasure without rough edges. The album is issued on an italian label, and, in fact, if there weren't the occasional greek lyrics, this band might be erroneously considered an italian prog band... which is a big compliment!
