Inspired by Greek Mythological figures of the Moirai (often known in English as the Fates, were the white-robed incarnations of destiny which the Romans called the Parcae), 'Le Moire' is a new MCD of the Italian band Hautville. Containing four new songs and a cover Banco del Mutuo Soccorso's song "Non mi Rompete" (Hautville's version is pretty similar to the original and has a nice atmosphere), the CD has as special guest on piano on "In Superficie" and "Caelum et Terra", Arturo Statieri of Pierrot Lunaire (they were an Italian prog rock band that did two albums in 1974 and 1977. They reformed and recorded a new album in 2011). First of all, I have to say that on this MCD Hautville found a new dimension and convinced me completely: they have found a right balance where the acoustic guitar and the heavenly voice of Simona are the main elements and synths, piano and drums, enrich the formula. Most of the tracks are mid tempos full of pathos where the 70s progressive influences are really evident and not only because of the Banco cover. Take "In Superficie", it has an haunting piano melody where dissonances and melancholy duet with Simona's voice just to explode into a wonderful prog rock opera. "Caelum et Terra" seems to be the natural following to that track and its based on guitar arpeggios, piano improvisation, synth orchestration and light drum beats. Really cool work and you haven't to be a prog enthusiast to dig it!
