Picchio Dal Pozzo....... with a big twist.

The twist I am referring to is the inclusion of the Yugen members and their inputs sprinkled throughout this live album. Yugen is an Italian RIO/Avant-Garde band and a pretty popular one too. Both here in ProgArchives and in Italy. This live album is therefore interesting, to say at least....

First off all; this is not a bootleg promoted to an official album. The sound is excellent throughout and really captures the essence of this performance from 2007. Why it has taken three years to get this album out is beyond me though.

I don't think the songs here needs any introductions. The studio versions of these songs, at least. And they are mostly performed here true to the originals. But there is a twist and that's Yugen. Their additions and sprinkling of their own gold dust makes even Picchio Dal Pozzo's material even more interesting. And believe me; Picchio Dal Pozzo is very exciting on their own. Hence; this live album comes with a heart attack warning (should have). Despite of the addition of Yugen; Picchio Dal Pozzo still takes center stage and really makes it their own album.

The material here is absolute great and the nine minutes long Il Presidente is one of the best ever Italian songs. Both studio version and the version on this live album. The added "lost and found" final track Lindbergh is the weakest track here. The rest of the songs are excellent too. The album never becomes nothing but intense interesting and a magic tribute to this truly great Italian band.

This is a live album well worth checking out and an obligatory album for all fans of this band.

4.5 stars
