WORK IN PROGRESS LIVE

Recorded live at NEARFEST 2000 Prog rock festival, "Work In Progress Live" represents DFA's first live performance in North America. This young quartet based out of Verona Italy play a delicious blend of fusion and space progressive rock. I must tell you that this album did totally take me by surprise with their big complex sound and detailed instrumentation. Their music is ever changing and there is something special here with their wonderfully constructed compositions and arrangements. Hard to directly compare but I would say DFA blend elements of DJAM KARET, KING CRIMSON, WEATHER REPORT and GENTLE GIANT, while holding on to their own unique character. As the album progresses through you can actaully hear the audience applause get louder and more appreciative of this bands talents. Althought there are some vocals (sung in Italian) the real strength lies in their instrumental work. Highly captivating and an excellent album all the way through...
