TILT - IMMAGINI PER UN ORECCHIO

My relationship with this one comes and goes. There are days where it absolutely hits the spot, as arguably my favourite thing to come out of Italian progressive rock, but I'll admit that sometimes it has passed me by without much effect. A lot of it is down to the drumming - it carries the music to the degree where if you're not focused, you might miss just how good this is. Like a distant precursor to The Mars Volta, Arti & Mestieri create organised chaos by taking parts of genres both simplistic and detailed. There's a lot of jazz-rock rhythm in here, accentuated by the saxophones and clarinets, but there's also a punk-rock aggression that pulls it all together. The whole thing feels like an angsty musical workout, and on days where intensity is something I'm craving, few albums of this era do it better.
