The third album from this band from Italy.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, saxophones, flutes, bagpipes and vocals.
A vocalist added some extra vocals to this album.
Their first two albums was a mix of Pink Floyd'ish psych and RPI. The music was softly spoken and pastoral.
There was always a jazz element in their music. That jazz element has fully broken through on ESM 40.
This album is dominated by the saxophones and the other instruments, including vocals, plays a secondary role to the saxophone.
There are at times almost some Soft Machine vibes over the saxophones and the music.
The final part of this sees some vocals and a song.
The main theme and music here is laid back jazz. Pastoral jazz, almost.
The quality is somewhere between decent and good. This is so far their least good album.
I will review their new album in the coming days and I hope that one is better than this one.
2.5 points
