The ninth album from this band from Italy.
The band was now a nineteen-member big band/project with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, violin, piano, keyboards, samples, loops, sax, flute and vocals.
This album popped up totally unexpectedly in my inbox some weeks ago. It was indeed released at the end of last year and that well below my, pretty faulty, radar.
I believe this is more of a studio project now than a real band. Hence the nineteen contributors to this seventy-four minutes long album.
The music here is fusion.
There are a lot of symphonic prog and some folk rock influences on this mainly instrumental fusion album. Jean Luc Ponty is also a good reference here.
The balance between violins, guitars, sax and keyboards solos is good here. There is therefore a lot to enjoy here. The very good musicianship here also adds a lot to this album. Even the three minutes of vocals adds something to this album.
The result is a good album. Maybe this is their final album. In that case, the band is leaving us on a high.
3 points
