ABBIAMO TUTTI UN BLUES DA PIANGERE

This is some excellent space jazz psych prog from Italy that manages at times to be rather mind-blowing. I would make comparisons to Sensations' Fix, Santana (Caravanserai), Weather Report, Brainticket (mainly Celestial Ocean, also Psychonaut), Mahavishnu Orchestra, Popol Vuh, as well as to some Canterbury (Supersister, Soft Machine), Italian Jazz Prog (Picchio Dal Pozzo/Duello Madre/Dedalus), Funk, and Avant Garde (Henry Cow,...). Great album! I was hooked immediately!

My favorite song might be the entrancing opener "Non c'è Tempo da Perdere", but a lot of great stuff on this album. I like the first side a little more as the second drags a little at some points with more soft slow jazzy essays, though there is still a lot to like. A generally very inspired and very proficient jazzy atmosphere fusing influences from many styles, with a nice dose of psych.

I will update and elaborate this review and possibly the rating as I listen more to the album.

4.25 stars
