LAVORO D'AMORE

Russian band ROZ VITALIS started out as the creative outlet of composer and musician Ivan Rozmainsky in 2001, and then developed into a proper band recording a fair amount of studio albums, as well as being an active live band at home as well as abroad. Nine studio albums in total have been released by Roz Vitalis so far. "Lavoro D'Amore", the most recent of those, was released through the Italian label Lizard Records in 2015.

Roz Vitalis continues to be a striking, creative and innovative band. On this occasion perhaps not always as successful as on previous productions, this obviously being a case of personal taste more than anything else, but while not always managing to hit the sweet spots for my personal taste in music, what they do is never uninteresting or without worth. All in all, this is an album to seek out for those who prefer their progressive rock to be eclectic, adventurous, unusual and purely instrumental.
