Vittorio
Vandelli A Day of
Warm Rain in Heaven Equilibrium Music
Vittorio Vandelli of the band Ataraxia and vocalist Francesca
Nicoli retell Coleridge's rhyme of the ancient mariner musically.
The results are somber and compelling in a very esoteric
fashion.
Vandelli plays all the instruments on the record and fashions the
material into a voyage worth taking. It's easy to sit in one's
chamber and drift into a reverie with it playing on the stereo.
Nicoli's diva-ish vocals serve to add a flavour of opera to the
proceedings. It's an unusual and challenging work and one that
commands the listener's attention. The dreamy strains of some songs
are contrasted by the nightmarish hues of voe painted in others. By
the time the record ends it's gone from sadness to joy and back
again. Much like life itself.
