UN'ALTRA MANO DI CARTE

Let this wash over you. Don't listen too hard, especially at first. With deep analysis, there's only a little new here (there is some, cool!), but what it does, it does so well that it works beautifully as a great example, and a modern one at that, of Rock Progressivo Italiano.

Think, if you had never heard Banco and you heard this, I believe it would hit you quite powerfully and artistically. Yes, it is a bit neo but if done well, Neo tends to come off like a rebirth of classic car with all the modern gadgets and essentially looks quite similar, yet if look closely you will recognize it is a remake. Something is a little different, a little less authentic about it. Actually this "neo" quality is a strange phenomenon. It always reminds me of Stravinsky and his neo classical, not in terms of the music but that peculiar "Neo" quality, if you will.

This is all to say that this has grown on me and I feel safe and entertained. Perhaps, being as they continue, and I certainly hope they do!, they might embrace some of the great Modern Classical Composers (Berio, Nono, etc) who had a distinct flavor and vibe that identified them as something uniquely Italian. I think Banco played with this a bit, but it would maybe break the music away from some of the slightly lame songwriting aspects. Go Bold! A nice addition to any modern library.
