IL PAESE DEI BALOCCHI

This has got to be one of the most inoffensive album ever made. The music here is so quiet, that sometimes I forget the album is evne on. Once in a while, the band breaks out of its sleepy mood and bursts into symphonic energy (with passages that sound similar to RDM's "Contaminazione"), but for the most part the playing is slow and quiet. I got this album back when Mellow Record's had their $10 sale, so I think that it's worth $10. But, if your planning on spending more, be warned that "Il Paese Dei Balocchi" 's debut is sleepy. The music is high-quality, but one wishes that the band had written more aggressive parts to balance out the slow passages.
