LAVORI IN CORSO

Hailing from the city of Verona,D.F.A. (aka Dutu Free Area) were found by three friends in 1991.As time went by,they moved from rich musicianship to superb complicated structures with improvisated parts and released ''Trip on metro'' in 1995.which was enough for the prog community to keep an eye on them.''Lavori in corso'' was recorded in early 97' and presented a band with an amazing and mature musicianship....D.F.A. come like a cross between GENTLE GIANT,maybe YES along with mid-70's KING CRIMSON,delivering complicated arrangements filled with rich textures,complex parts and earth-shattering interplays.Things are not that simple of course,as there are numerous hints of Canetrbury/CAMEL-like prog with smooth jazzy arrangements and melodic passages,while the keyboard work (except the beautiful mellotron) might seem out of place sometimes,but the synths presented here are no more than an excellent atmospheric/electronic musical journey.Only compared to DEUS EX MACHINA's inventiveness and intensity,D.F.A. belong among the most-talented music group of the modern-era and ''Lavori in corso'' might end up as a classic through the years to come.Extremely highly recommended!
