COME IN UN'ULTIMA CENA

The first album of all-new compositions by Banco since Io Sono Nato Libero (if you don't count Garofano Rosso, which didn't include lead singer Francesco Di Giancomo's operatic vocals), Come In Un'Ultima Cena is a concept album surrounding the last supper which features the band's usual stellar level of performance, with each of the shorter pieces coming together into a cohesive whole. Vittorio and Gianni Nocenzi, the group's synthesiser wizards, had used Garofano Rosso to experiment with incorporating more modern synths into the group's sound, and the results on here are truly enchanting, updating Banco's sound for the latter half of the 1970s admirably.
