Monni. Lorenzo - Grey Swans of Extremistan (2010)

The third and so far latest album from Lorenzo Monni.

Lorenzo Monni did the guitars, bass, loops and computers himself. He got help from a couple of guests on drums.

This is his final album before he went on to do his albums under the Leptons name. He has two albums under that name.... so far. Reviews to follow next month.

Grey Swans Of Extremistan is his most complex album. All barriers are being pushed and new areas are being explored.

There is a lot of avant-garde neo-classical and jazz here. There is also some symphonic prog and a lot of eclectic prog. King Crimson but also the likes of Dennis Rea and Mark Wingfield also springs to mind here. In particular Dennis Rea.

The music is eclectic and dense.

It is also slightly melodic and has some eastern influences.

The result is a good album and an album who should interest all those into eclectic jazz and neo-classical music.
