VIRTUAL SUN

If you like bands like Marillion for example then this might be something that you will find interesting. There is however a bit more to this music, I would personally describe it as progressive rock where the emphasis is clearly on the rock part, although the more "progressive" sound is never very far away and often clearly heard. The sound is at times quite dark and heavy, with slightly distorted vocals and guitars. Overall it is slightly reminiscent of some of todays rock-bands who emerged from the underground and indie scene. But even at its roughest it still maintains a clarity and delicacy to it. The musicians are all of the highest standard and capable of providing the instrumental variation needed to pull off an album like this, also the production is very good. In addition Mario Gucci's voice has to be one of the best around. He is certainly one of my favourite singers in this genre. If you want good and varied rock music with a progressive twist to it, then you should definitely give this one a try.
