Otherwise, the duties of voice, piano, synths, loops and "sound design" are divided between the resident duo of Gianni Pedretti and Sergio Calzoni. The darkness (yes, I know it's a cliché, but read on) they are striving for is not the cold black metal style, nor the sterile approach of industrial-orientated acts, but a warmer, inviting darkness -- as suggested by the velvet tongued vocals, which are a few steps above spoken word.

Colloquio do construct "proper" songs that adhere to the rules (well, most of them!) of songwriting, frequently abrogated by many of their labelmates, but they clearly place a greater emphasis on atmosphere than Canaan, even if they don't resort to ambient interludes. Nonetheless, _Si Muove e Ride_ remains sufficiently morose so as to negate any possibility of mainstream accessibility, and whilst I still prefer the guitar driven sounds of Canaan and Neronoia, this is a welcome addition that completes the trinity.
