“Atlantide Sommersa” by Roberto Santucci (New Age/Instrumental Artist from Italy)

"Atlantide Sommersa" is a beautifully crafted, new age piano instrumental album from Italian musician Roberto Santucci. This is a concept album, having the Jules Verne novel "20 Miles Alloys Under the Sea" as the inspiration for all of the songs. It is clear that Santucci feels an emotional connection to the novel, and he puts that emotion within each of these songs in a manner in which they could serve as a soundtrack to a live action version of the novel. It is also clear that Santucci is one of the better pianists in his genre, and each of these ten tracks is solid, seamless, and timeless. "Atlandide Sommersa" is well-produced, and all of Santucci's piano work sounds clean and professional. "White Golden Dreams" introduces the album beautifully with a rather dreamy, lulling piano progression on the high end. "Anthynea" is a song inspired by the queen of the submerged city with a lighter sound and skillful and emotional piano work that uses the entire piano, seemingly all at once. The entire album is fantastic, with a lovely lulling quality perfect for relaxation, and superb, inspired piano work from one of the best in the business. Fans of new age, piano instrumentals, and Jules Verne-inspired music should check "Atlantide Sommersa" out.
