Sam Anning: Earthen
Vi aleggia un descrittivismo molto educato, levigato, senza che peraltro ciò scivoli mai nello sdolcinato o nel fatuo. C'è molta misura, molto gusto per un esprimersi carico di ritegno, senza eccessivi abbandoni, per una forma conchiusa, e in tal senso certamente ammirevole, anche se come si diceva avrebbe forse giovato qualche sferzata, qualche fremito, in più. Qualche nota fuori dal coro, per capirci, fuori dal controllo inappuntabile che evidentemente il leader e compositore di tutto il materiale contenuto nel disco ha chiesto ai suoi uomini.
Ciò non significa, ripetiamo, che l'opera non sia di sicuro pregio, di una coerenza estetica e un rigore assoluti. Però, ogni tanto, lasciarsi andare...
