Live recordings from NEARFest 2000, Bethlehem,USA. First live shows in US of this excellent Italian fusion band. Sound quality is great, album contains songs from two first band's studio albums.

It is a real pleasure to listen this album. One of the great band of new jazz fusion generation. Based on classic prog from early 70-s ( Gentle Giant, King Crimson,etc), early RPI (Banco...), with some psychedelic moments (Ozric Tentacles), musicians play modern but very classic progressive fusion. With strong Italian roots - rounded, well balanced, very melodic, warm, with strong harmonies and even with occasional Italian vocals ( almost operatic).

Band's early works were more space/psychedelic prog influenced, but with time their music became more complex and jazzy. So this later recording of early songs gives a rare possibility to hear old songs sounding in new, live and more jazzy key.

All in all - extremely good recording from early 00's. Highly recommended for all jazz fusion,RPI fans.

Really 4+
