Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1979, Italy.

Derde album van dit Italiaans jazzrock/fusion gezelschap.

The third work released after it forms again "Quinto Stato". First of all, I was surprised for vocal. The sound followed the fusion route of the former work, and became atmosphere relaxed in addition. ARTI was transfigured to the fusion group that was the technique and balanced. The energy of Italian rock in the first half of 1970"s is felt in vocal by me. Unique fusion album. It is an interesting content. 

Very nice and fluid fusion music from this very known italian band. This album is not as strong as "Tilt" or "Giro di Valzer", but offers us some very nice songs, with very good playing from all the band members. Furio Chirico is less remarkable, but he is still a reference in this album. Very good keyboard and flute work, but the guitar is not so impressive due to the major presence of the keyboards. The vocals in some themes, in the beginning, are a little rough, but they become quite interesting as soon as we get used to. As being an Arti + Mestieri fan for a long time, I could not ignore this great album. I advise it to all fusion and Arti + Mestieri lover
