Scaretale is great, but does drag a bit for me after it's initial minutes. I also think the ape sounds in Tribal are great.
And the end section of Shoemaker is probably my favourite operatic part of Floor, it sounds so great.
*sniffle* I'm not crying.
You should really check out that Turilli/Lione album though, if you like that super high-end symphonic, theatrical stuff. You'd like it.
Yea, my main problem with Luca, as I said, is that all just started sounding the same. WAY too much for me. When I know exactly what chords/melodies you're going to do before you do it, I tend to check out.
If you recommend it though, I'll give it a listen.
For what it's worth, I think the latest Turilli/Lione album is not a classic-Rhapsody rehash, despite it obviously having all the trademark sounds of both Turilli and Lione (kind of like this latest Nightwish album, actually). I think the album has a more electronic ("modern") feel to the classical sounds/orchestrations than in the past, which does give it a bit of a different vibe for me. The album is about science fiction, rather than dark lords and dwarves and stuff. And it sounds like it.
