other way around for me, that is to say I prefer DFA's complex fusion over DeM's hard symph/neo

This is a very tough callm on here, because of the three real studio albums (one is a demo, the other a live), they're all quite good.
I have a slight prefereance for Lavori, but they'reall fime.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Love DFA. To me they are a more accessible Deux Ex Machina who I admire as well. But DFA have more melody in their songs and they resonate with me more each time I hear them. D E Machina don't do that for me.

I've only heard 4th so far, so it has to be that one. A very good album, and great to see music like that still being made!

DFA 4th is the only one I have heard so far. Great band. How did I overlook them so long?

I haven't heard the "4th" album yet, but I'll vote for "Duty Free Area" because I love the eclectic approach (combining space-rock and ounces of heavy prog) to jazz-prog, its is richer than the already amazing debut album.
Kind regards.

I have a soft spot for Lavori in Corso . There is this long spacey bass fueled ride that is simply marvelous which I prefer to their more complex stuff where they have a tendency to really lay it on in terms of chops. Haven't heard the new yet though.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Excellent band, their 4th album has not been listened to my ears yet, but i hope to do it soon.
For starters, Lavori in Corso is a great option because if you like it, then you will love the others as well.
Actually Trip on Metro is also unknown to me, but the 3 i know are all worth listening, either studio or the Work in Progress Live, will please you.
