TALSETE DI MARSANTINO

Following their wonderful predecessors "Febo" and "Alder", l'Estate di San Martino - the prog-rock band from magic Umbria - doesn't rest on laurels and takes a step forward by delivering us another impressive work named "Talsete di Marsantino" issued on the same label and housed in a lavish gatefold mini lp cd packaging. What about the music? Well, it only takes a few moments - as soon as Archivista bursts on the scene - to realize that inspiration and musicianship are as high as ever! Of course, giant prog-rockers of the past such as Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and PFM have had a great appeal on the Italian band but in my humble opinion on this album more than on any other has emerged their undistinguished style made of intricate melodies and variety of arrangements. Not to mention the guest appearences: the voice impossible Bernardo Lanzetti, guitar maestro Steve Hackett and the voice master Francesco Di Giacomo are here to witness their deep belief in the project. A record that will certainly be much appreciated by the progressive music lover. Thank you ESM !!
