You can listen to their album In The Court Of The Mandolin King here:


Hi,

Got to admit that is very nice and well done .... however, the rest of the album is the whole KC thing and while it is interesting, the novelty wears out quickly. But, at least, this particular piece is worth the listen ... very nicely done.

Next for them is Pink Floyd! Wink Smile

I am ashamed to say that other than PFM , I am not familiar with any other prog bands from Italy.

I do love PFM though, and fondly remember buying 'Chocolate Kings' back in the day. Smile

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Hi,

Nice additions ... 

Aether is very pretty and special on this piece. Very melodic.

Cubo di Rubik is, likewise really good and tight. It's really nice to see some material really well done like this.

Le Vele di Orinide is still one of my favorites thus far ... very clean and even those vocals are well done.

Hi,

This is one of the nicest things I have heard on this thread. No rush to get a solo out, and just plain well defined work and very tasty all the way through.

Very enjoyable to my ears, and you can't even compare it to anything else ... that's how nice it is!

Hi,
Drift Lab

Surprisingly enough the one thing I heard several times, was the one that might sound "conventional" and it has a lot of "look ma, I'm doing a solo!", but somehow, the quality of the totality of the music is excellent, and these folks are tight, and know what they are doing ... quite enjoyable. Though I'm from the progressive school that you don't have to make space for that solo for ma to hear! Just solo ... if you have to, and don't worry about a special spot being made just for you! 

Nice stuff ... and well played! These guys ain't no beginners, although their composition is a bit on the conventional jazz style of the late 60's. Very California, I thought! 

Gosh ... gotta hear that again!
