Prolusion.
Unfortunately, I could not access to the Tilion website to know if 
“Insolatarimente” is the debut album by this Italian band or not. 
Nevertheless, I believe that it’s their debut.
Synopsis.
The album consists of eleven tracks, five of which are songs, and 
all of them are separated from each other by instrumental pieces. 
In other words, the alternation of instrumental compositions and 
songs is laid in the basis of this work. All five of the songs: Buio, 
Il Custode, Luna, Torpore Celebrate, and the ‘sidelong’ epic 
Dietro i Riccordi (2, 4, 6, 8, & 10) are similar among themselves 
by many stylistic and structural aspects and are about Classic 
Symphonic Art-Rock with either elements of Prog-Metal and 
the bits of Jazz-Fusion or vice versa. Of course, those of them 
that feature solos of saxophone, and these are Buio and Torpore 
Celebrate, are especially rich in elements of Jazz-Fusion. All 
songs, as well as the entire album, are marked with distinct signs 
of a high originality and tastefulness. Each of them is filled with a 
complete set of essential progressive features, among which 
complex stop-to-play movements done exclusively with the use 
of unusual meters and very frequent changes of a musical 
direction, tempo, and mood are especially evident. The vocals 
are great and are mostly dramatic in character. But even though 
all the lyrics here are in Italian, the music of Tilion, unlike that
of 
most of the other progressive bands that came from this country, 
does not have an obvious Italian feel to it, which is partly 
because purely instrumental arrangements cover about two 
thirds of each of the songs here. A very solid and diverse arsenal 
of keyboards was used on this album, and while a piano and 
synthesizer are the main soloing instruments among them, the 
presence of Hammond and Mellotron on Buio, Luna, and Dietro 
i Riccordi make these compositions sound simultaneously 
modern and vintage. The parts of all of the soloing instruments 
here are masterful, and the drumming is excellently matched with 
everything that happens on the album. Quite quiet, yet, still 
intricate arrangements consisting either of the interplay between 
passages of piano and solos of harp or only passages of acoustic 
guitar are present on most of the songs here, and also on the 
instrumentals situated on the opening and closing tracks of the 
album: Prologo and Epilogo. The music on each of these 
compositions represents a blend of Classic Symphonic Art-
Rock and Prog-Metal and is on the whole close to that on the 
songs. One of the instrumental pieces located ‘inside’ the album, 
Solitaria Mente, features only passages of classical guitar and 
angelic female vocalizes, while a few female vocals are featured 
in the beginning of Torpore Celebrate. Apart from Solitaria 
Mente, passages of acoustic guitar are also present on Dietro i 
Riccordi and Epilog, and those of them that, along with solos of 
flute, are interwoven with basic textures (on the aforementioned 
16-minute epic), sound especially amazing. All three of the 
remaining instrumental pieces: Orrizonti Sintetizzati, Il Pensiero 
dal Basso, and Corale Tribale (3, 7, & 10) are somewhat of 
brief benefit performances for synthesizer, bass, and drums and 
vocoder respectively. All of them are great, but too short, so it’s 
hard to consider them differently than intros to the songs that 
they lead to.
Conclusion.
My conclusion will be short, yet, exhaustive. I regard Tilion’s 
“Isolatarimente” as an hour of triumph of the Italian Progressive 
for the first half of 2003, though of course, I heard not all the 
albums released by the Italian progressive bands during this 
period. (Nevertheless, I believe I heard most of them.)

Non hai saputo sfruttare il potenziale commerciale di un pezzo come "Mas
Alla" degli Anima Mundi (Septentrion) e ti metti a dare la colpa alle
recensioni?
