LOGAN DWIGHT

This album by this peculiarly named (for an Italian band) group begins well. The opening track, Logan Dwight starts off sound very similar to the title track from King Crimson's "Islands" album. By the middle it turns into a David Bowie-esque piece, the feeling helped immensely by Federico D'Andrea's vocals. The second song is every bit as good, but with a more traditional symphonic style with some Chicago-like horns.

After that, however, the band veers almost completely from the prog sound they performed so well, instead sounding like an amalgam of early seventies bands, like Jefferson Airplane and Crosby Sills & Nash. These tracks are not bad, but they are nothing special either.

But the first two tracks are dominant enough to give this album three stars.
