PICCHIO DAL POZZO

A quite amazing album, and definetly warranting 5 stars. The saddest thing about this band (like Hatfield) is their relatively meagre output - the scope of their talent seems enormous and yet it remains caged within 4 albums - I really would rather hear another 20 minutes of this band than a decade's worth of Genesis or Yes.

So many textures and colours in this album that its very hard to categorise. At times I thought I was listening to Sigur Ros, at others, Hatfield. Escapist in the extreme, this album doesn't just provide the soundtrack, it draws the pictures.
