Okay, what we're talking about here is an amazing project that was created as a result of
the cooperation between the Italian drummer/songwriter, Pierpaolo "Zorro" Monti, and
bass-player, Amos Monti. "Zorro" has done an amazing job in composing the tracks, and
if we add the guest names into the mix, such as Erik Martensson, Harry Hess, Robbie Lablanc
and Brian Lablanc, Robin Beck, Mikael Erlandsson, Brunorock, Michael Bormann, Alessandro Del Vecchio,
Vinny Burns, Tim Manford and Ulrich Carlsson, then you'll understand that we're talking about something
truly excellent.
I honestly believe that since 2010, when this was released for the first time by Avenue Of Allies,
up until now, as of the time of writing this review, there hasn't been a better project/album than this one.
I'm talking about both the compositions of the tracks, as well as the performances by the artists!
Truly a unique diamond!
If you want to understand what we're talking about, then you only need to listen to tracks such as
"Strong Enough", "Can't Stop The Rock", "Follow the Stars", "Unbreakable Wire",
"Heat Of The Light" and "Under Silent Walls Part I - Blossom From Night to Dawn".
If you're one of the unfortunate ones who don't have this in your collection, you can have it now!
It is now re-released Street Symphonies Records / Andromeda Dischi, on a brand new limited collectors' edition
(printed in only 500 copies) with renewed cover artwork and the addition of one bonus track,
not included in the original version!
Drop what you're doing and go and buy it immediately! Once you've done that and finished listening to
the album, you'll find yourselves with a big smile on your face! One of the best albums to be released
in the past 10 years, it has already made its golden mark in Melodic Rock history!
As for the score, since a perfect rating of 10/10 isn't enough, I'll give it a 10/10 with honors!
I'd also like to thank "Zorro" and all the other artists for the beautiful musical moments
that they have given us.
