The Red Zen is an instrumental quartet from Italy. Imagine a fusion album recorded by a progressive rock band. While their label tries to position them as a band in the style of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever, they really are more of a straight ahead prog band. Guitarist Ettore Salati was formerly with The Watch. While he doesn't sound like Steve Hackett here, he certainly plays with far more distortion than you are likely to ever hear from a fusion guitarist. No - this isn't really fusion. Its really well done instrumental prog rock with some killer soloing coming from keyboards and guitar. This owes more to Djam Karet or Helmet Of Gnats than any fusion band I can think of. Highly recommended.
