yep, first review ;)

My God, didn't know they're Avant. For me this one sounded pretty melodical and even poppy - look at the release's year. Besides it has nothing Italian in it except for wonderful vocals and lyrics - I mean musically it is NOT Italian. To give you a chance to imagine, take late 70s GENTLE GIANT, mix it with RUSH 81-87 and force them to play something 80s CRIMSO-related. Weird you say? Hell no! Melodic and sometimes even cheesy despite all this signatures and Frippique sound (the songs are pretty short, by the way). I liked the opening tracks here, and even thought of giving it a 3-star rating, but the further we go the more "samey" music goes. Boring and repetitive, nothing completely interesting. I wonder what did they play in 1975 (highly acclaimed album) and maybe I'll try to get that one. "Al Volo" is not recommended, only if you want to hear an Italian band playing non-Italian music. Not the best example though.
