The one and only album from this band/project from Italy.
The band/project was a nine piece big band/project with a lineup of percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths, saxophones, flutes, effects and vocals.
I have had this album hanging around on my to-review list for over ten years. I have not been brave enough to review it before now....... That says something about this album.....
This is a concept album based on the work and life of the Italian sculptor Luciano Ceschia. The project's orginator was Carlo Barbieri who composed this album and then invited some guests to record this piece of music.
This piece of music was released as a private pressing LP before being picked up by a record label who later gave it a proper release on CD. Double CD, in fact, taking us to eigthy minutes of music.
The music is very minimalistic folk rock with some electronica and a lot of avant-garde music.
The music sounds chaotic and is indeed chaotic. The is indeed a chaotic album which does not make much sense.
This album has some historical value and is quite a quaint sounding album. There is not many pieces of flowing music here and the quality is not good at all.
The quality is only half decent and it is almost impossible to listen to this whole eighty minutes long album in one go. I had some really big problems with that. Hence, I have many times given up reviewing this album before I finally made an effort this week and finally got my head around this album.
