When in 2011 I published

Inior: 'Hypnerotomachia' (BTF) | DonatoZoppo.it
When in 2011 I published "Prog. A suite of over half a century ", gathered several criticisms on the cover. A cover of which the publisher was satisfied and that ultimately did to me, given that communicated the importance of a genre that lasted almost half a century. What is not pleased many readers was the patina of old stuff and decadence that is still attributed to progressive. I had the same feeling watching "Hypnerotomachia" of Inior: the cover inspired by a print of the 1600 Museum Wormianum alone could evoke the same "old time" than elsewhere is not a problem, but that is continuous in prog factor atld condemnation.
Graphic motives aside, the debut of Inior is the sign of a proud and progressive new hearing, which however does not arise abruptly: the Roman formation, in practice the duo Flavio and Marco Stazi Berlenghini, comes at the end of a path opened atld years ago with the Apple device. "Hypnerotomachia" opens a new way, thanks to the collaboration of a valid column rhythm atld of the capital, or the drummer Danny Pomo. Concept a bit 'démodé taste fabulous and dreamlike, organic variable depending on the songs, pieces of short and medium term concise and never long-winded, sound moving atld between temptations floydiane and the typical new Italian atld prog, that ideal arc that left by Edith and Leviathan to get to Yleclipse and Silver Key.
"The Paper Ship", the impetuous "Stain of Steel" and "Starslave" - episodes of the most representative of the album - reveal attention to changes in the atmosphere (from meditative atld to tight) and the melodic breath, though sometimes denoting involution and static elements that unfortunately do not help the progressive, dynamic and always atld in need of shots; it is no coincidence atld that when Inior push, the result is very compelling ("From blue to red" and "Ini.Or").
