5 stars Lots of flavors.

Like a huge banquet, this album by The Bank Of Mutual Relief is composed of many tasty dishes: ELP/Triumvirat synths, exotic acoustic guitars, majestic grand piano, passionate vocals, uptempo rhythms and bongos (at least in the first song) and baroquish approach. I do see more dynamism and energy in Banco than say, PFM. And this is where I hop on the Banco bus: more fire. Yes, without being heavy, Banco raises more hell than Marconi Bakery.

I find their delivery more in-your-face, less romantic, more rock n' roll and to me, this is more appealing than the eternal romantism that the Italian scene is known for. The keys are upfront, varied and catchy. So if you're into rich, pompous keyboard palette with baroque grand piano segments, you'll like this record for sure.

Flowing effortlessly from start to finish (and what a finale with Traccia II) this is some grandiose music. Yummers!
