KALEIDOSCOPE

Kaleidoscope is a double CD box with the albums Lavori in Corso (CD 1) and Duty Free Area (CD 2). Both CDs include some live tracks from 2003 or in total three live tracks to be more precise.

While Lavori in Corso is a more blend of RPI and Jazz, the Duty Free Area is a blend of space rock, jazz, canterbury and symphonic prog. In short; you get two pretty different types of albums here, but both loosely within the fusion/jazz genre. These two CDs are not that different from each other, but different enough to really make this box interesting. So four stars for the music.

The packaging too deserve four star. The booklet is not like a book, but it still contains enough reading material to complement the music.

In short; this is a very good box sold for a reasonable price and an excellent addition to anyone's record collection.
