ALBUM REVIEW
NARROW PASS is the name of the project of Italian multi-instrumentalist Mauro MONTOBBIO, a resurgence of an eponymous project initiated at the end of the Eighties, gone without any trace. Here is eventually the first album, released in 2006 by the Musea label. Our man, whose favourite instruments are guitars and keyboards, was surrounded by a pleiad of outstanding musicians, for the rhythm section, vocals (Featuring the extraordinaire Alessandro CORVAGLIA from LA MASCHERA DI CERA) and wind instruments. The latter ones were played by Edmondo ROMANO, former member of the legendary ERIS PLUVIA, in company of the female vocalist Valeria CAUCINO. It is no surprise if NARROW PASS sometimes evokes the excellent "Rings Of Earthly Lights", a little masterpiece from the early Nineties: a strong sensitivity, melodies with a diaphanous purity, airborne flute parts, a strong influence close to CAMEL.. This music should also be able to charm the PINK FLOYD lovers as well as the nostalgic ones of MARILLION-kind of lyrical guitar soli.
