bandenere And again, I'm listening a precise and crystal clear sound. But..this time is like a pole vault. Compared to the previous work the pole is stuck slightly deeper than 80s. And it throws you upward even more... Favorite track: Up On The Mountain High.

Black Sea 01:40

I was walking on the ancient path that leads down to the sea It was dark around and the cobblestones was all that I could see A sudden gash opens up the sky revealing the brightest moon I stood there still breathing fast freezed I couldn’t move I saw houses lit like paper lamps on the contour of the hills And the black sea like a raging land The majesty of the feel This marvelous sight as I run away appeared standing in the moon A white creature with a single horn that was pointing the way back home

Long is the way and hard the path to follow Move your steps and hold on to what you got Harsh are these times no matter how dark appears tomorrow search into your soul for your own spark of light Stay on the track now keep away from sorrow and looking back you’ll see how far you’ve gone Strive for the top you really have no time to borrow then you'll settle down and greet the end of the fight

about

[...] A joyful ride amidst well articulated synths, lovely wind instruments, agile bass, and just an overall passion for great, psychedelic rock.
[...]Weaving in between eccentric structures, Ragonesi paints a world that is wholly his own, as much as he pays tribute to classic like King Crimson or Pink Floyd. Everything sings with the joy of instruments well played and well recorded, every bit of the intricate, progressive rock shining through. This has to do with composition just as much as production; the disparate parts are written exceptionally well, complimenting each other in clear, interesting ways, as befits the genre.
Even though the influences on this albums are clear to hear, Ragonesi definitely has his own take and style of things; the way he layers synths on tracks like the shorter “Black Sea” and the fantastical “Dream of The Unicorn” prove that Ragonesi is not just an imitator but an artist with their own voice working within these genres. If you’re after some well made, unique, and effective progressive/psychedelic rock, this is the place for you. Dark Passenger is a joyous and accomplished celebration of the genre and everything which works well about it.
