Album a Day: Vittorio Vandelli - A Day of Warm Rain In Heaven

Fucking Italians. Vittorio Vandelli of Ataraxi took S.T. Coleridge's The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and said, "Ya know what? I'm gonna make this in to a goddamn Neo-classical album." and he did a beautiful job. It's important to listen to intelligent music because it makes you smarter and for that I say "fucking Italians". This is just a beautiful album by a great guitarist/composer taking more traditional music and throwing in synths for moments of something new with something old (and check out the great guitar solo on 'I Killed The Albatross'). Please pick up this 2004 album by a master at his craft and just lie back and think. Favorite tracks: Farewell Farewell Thou Wedding-Guest, The Ocean Green, A Sadder and A Wiser Man, The Curse In a Dead Man's Eye, A Day of Warm Rain In Heaven, and I Killed The Albatross
