This record is clearly one Holy Grail, a bunch of Lascivious tracks wich semplicity let the listeners enjoyment idea grow out so smoothly that after many delightful replay we take it like a Perfect Masterpiece.
The great progressive "Aquarium" tracklisting is such that side A starts with a slow "entering in" mood, making the perfect start for a quiet moment or a candlelight dinner and "Paradiso" is totally soft and easy, just like some relaxant sea waves , so every successive steps puts up the best track after the other so there's a small intro, then we are lifted up and tickled by effects plus there's a deep groove with many as passages wich repetition requires and then a sudden slight intervallo with 5 minutes of "Squalo Azzurro" and a final burst out with "Chanchito". So that's why this LP seems to be "physically present" to the listeners mind, wich takes a lomg vacancy into a sensual array of moods, between summer and the midsummer evening quiet.

"Gioello" is totally marine with its spare effects wich resembles moving bubbles and liquid over a flowing surface: here organ, piano and synth are uniquely charming to fullfill the watery sense of cascading sounds in an exotic ambiental mood, with always changing patterns that come and go. "Torpedine" and "Pompadour" with their escaping melody and abstract flowing of sound recurrent modules gives us an idea of greatness in nature and a total feeling of apnea and being under water with that absolute particular silence, here enriched with imaginative sounds from the sea fantastic life, even with a sense of humour and fun along with the many different instruments sounds that slowly enters in our ears one after the other with such a special touch that shows how Fabio Fabor best composer abilities just makes this LP a true masterpiece, a hidden gem album in the limitless world of sound Library.

Then "Angelo di Mare" e "Idolo Moresco" are the best tracks of this magnificent yet record: they are fully dreamy and so gently lightly over flowing with soft splashing cymbals and piano plus organ, building up a total imaginery with as many ingredients as the sea is made. In this latest mentioned, there's a beautiful mixture of guitar and water bubbling synth effects wich gaves the good marine idea and plus it has an astounding melody in the best jazz beat vein of the 70'. "Martello" has some more trickery effects and is listed as "shake" tempo, infact is more groovy and a bossa nova guitar is interfilled with long deep scaling synth effects wich resembles water bursting, maybe the rhythmic background here is just a bit too low but in the vinyl it has a full display of colors like bubbles above the surface. "Squalo Azzurro" led us into a big pause of 5 minutes with a circular blues tempo track wich creates a gap into the listening sequence: is made just for us to prepare the end of such hidden submarine world leafing us to the last track, the sad (!) latin disco of "Chanchito" wich introduces for the first time a nostalgic note among the fast danceable vibrations of previous tracks with cyclic long high pitched keyboard waves that resembles depression fits at their artistic best.
