TILT leaves you feeling that way

"This album is absolute ear candy for the first seven of eight tracks. The pace is breathtaking and playing as tight as most bands only dream to achieve. Much of the credit for this goes to Furio Chirico, perhaps one of the busiest drummers you will ever hear. The one sung track, "Strips" is a perfect example of how the band is able to bridge a breathy, cloudy gentleness of mood with the happy joyful chaos that swirls around most of the album. Another moment that will leave you breathless is the way In cammino Venegoni begins with an almost motionless sax solo and then slowly swirls around itself to a full take-off. What? You're still reading this, and you haven't bought TILT yet?"

Along with"Maxophone"the best italian 70's fusionprog album.

"In this album you find the exceptional drums by Furio Chirico but also an excellent guitar and bass work, well supported by the keyboards... of course it's a 70's "ante-litteram" fusion prog, by means also of Soprano Sax and Violin, which create a well balanced compromise between the complex harmonies in the vein of Gentle Giant and the softer melodic lines more PFM oriented... these could be the right references,nevertheless They are not a derivative band and, on the opposite, their original style has been influencing a lot of jazz prog stuff for a long time in Italy !! Moreover their ante litteram fusion style sometimes reminds me of Weather Report, but -unlike W.R.and often Mahavishnu Orchestra-A.&M. have a symphonic edge of their own !!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND BETTER THAN "GIRO DI VALZER ...""
