Prati bagnati del monte analogo

by

Raul Lovisoni / Francesco Messina

Raul Lovisoni and Francesco Messina only worked together on one record, this one, and it's a concept album dedicated to the unfinished adventure novel 'Le Mont Analogue' by Rene Daumal. This has already the making of a legendary, forgotten classic, and the music doesn't disappoint, at all.

Long ambient washes, motifs coming in and out of focus from the haze, hypnotic harp sequences, vocal textures, piano licks and warm synth tones make up an incredible collage of sounds painting a mesmerizing but slightly unnerving picture. It really feels like a long climb up a mysterious mountain while reality slowly warps and bends in strange ways.

Legendary producer Marta Salogni starts her day by listening to an album all the way through while drinking tea, and more often than not her album of choice is prati bagnati del monte analogo. It's a pretty great choice I think.
