IN OGNI LUOGO

Once you're self-considered as a humongous Italian prog expert, it comes the time where you should've bumped into FINISTERRE or at least, heard of them. Narrowing the Italian prog rock down to the 70's bands isn't useful anymore due the circumstances surrounding the current renewals and style updates day by day in the European scene. FINISTIRRE is certainly that kind of proposal to pay attention to; their fresh, jazzy, sometimes sentimental and punchy way of handling their instruments is quite amazing to anyone that listen to them for the first time and provokes this feeling of wanting more and more. Maybe some other previous releases by the band will appeal more to you than "In Ogni Luogo", and that I can't counterpoint to; but I find this album in particular as the holder of the missing pieces of the works of yesterday and the crucial key to the projects to come like "Storybook" for instance.

This piece is certainly a reflect of the hard work the band put in to accomplish the task in order to be innovative, unique and convincing. It's got almost everything you'd probably ask to get from a new band: beautiful composition and arranging, symphonic interludes, outstanding instrumental execution and quite an impeccable production. This recording is a must in your Italian prog rock collection; and once inside the record store or wherever you find this album, retrieve FINISTERRE's lead singer Fabio ZUFFANTI masterful rock opera "MERLIN" (written by Victoria HEWARD by the way) as well, you're gonna love it.
