IO SONO NATO LIBERO

Banco with "Io Sono Nato Libero" gave us the quintessence of his art. It's a complex music which sounds very easy after some listenings. The band mixed folk, classical, electronic, jazz and rock in a wonderful and unique blend. An italian one. That's very important because doing that way, looking to their own culture, Banco didn't sound as english bands. To give a correct description of this music is very difficult. Banco created his own sound and if I can find some influences ( ELP, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, ... ) it's clear for me than this band is a prog master equal to Genesis, Yes, King Crimson or ELP. I really don't exagerate saying this. Listen to this album, and I'm sure you'll understand what I'm trying to explain.

5 stars. A masterpiece of progressive rock. One of my all times favourites.
