For those who love heavy symphonic Italian prog you will be amazed. I do not know why but these guys are left off the "best-of" Italian prog lists far too often. LA BOTTEGA DELL'ARTE blend the symphonic touches of LOCANDA DELLE FATE with the most beautiful of songs. "Dentro" weights very heavily on keyboards which there is no shortage of here.... piano, mellotron, clavinet, moog, odissey, hammond etc.... This is one of those bands that once you hear, you will not be able to get out of your head. Vocals are exceptional and handled by several members who can all really sing (lots of great harmonies).... very classical voices with the big classical symphonic sound. Like so many of the classic Italian bands they have dual keyboardists, a guitarist, bassist and percussionist all of the highest quality. "Dentro" is one of those cd's that every one love and never gets too heavy to lose some fine folk. Get this CD!!!

When I listen to this record somehow I get the impression I would listen to Albano e Romina Power or similar stuff. I listened already to many bands in Italian Prog including more mellow ones like Locanda Delle Fate but those ones did not sound that much pop-ish, cheesy and sob stuff like as this record here. For me it rather sounds like any standard Italian pop album, maybe very nice if one likes stuff like that but for sure this has neither to do anything with Prog nor with Rock in general. So I'd like to warn everyone who is in favour of bands like PFM, Le Orme, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Locanda Delle Fate, Banco and so on to stay away of this record, maybe the other outputs of the band are different, I never listened to any other.
