QUINTO STATO

Very nice and fluid fusion music from this very known italian band. This album is not as strong as "Tilt" or "Giro di Valzer", but offers us some very nice songs, with very good playing from all the band members. Furio Chirico is less remarkable, but he is still a reference in this album. Very good keyboard and flute work, but the guitar is not so impressive due to the major presence of the keyboards. The vocals in some themes, in the beginning, are a little rough, but they become quite interesting as soon as we get used to. As being an Arti + Mestieri fan for a long time, I could not ignore this great album. I advise it to all fusion and Arti + Mestieri lovers.
