Woodpecker is the debut release from singularly named Swedish vocalist AnnaMy (her spelling not mine). Its a gorgeous album. This is beautifully recorded gentle, melodic psychedelic folk. Plenty of electricity here - most notably on electric guitar courtesy of Reine Fiske. Undercurrents of flute and organ spice up the mix but the focus is on AnnaMy's stunning voice. The overall sound pays homage to the greats of the 70s. Think in terms of Trees, Mellow Candle, Caedmon, and Vashti Bunyan. This one is a real grower. Highly recommended.$16.00 -
Through all of his various bands/projects, Fabio Zuffanti is one of the leading proponents of the classic "Rock Progressive Italiano" sound. Each one of his bands has a bit of a different twist to it. Hostsonaten is perhaps the least Italian sounding prog band. The music has an English feel to it, partly because the vocals are sung in English. The music has its roots is symphonic rock but it isn't afraid to touch on classical themes. Dare I mention...the metallic guitar sounds that crop up? Keyboard soloing has a very Wakeman-esque dexterity and fluidity. With his "Seasons" quadrilogy completed, Zuffanti has turned to Samuel Coleridge's "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". This is actually the first half of the project. All of the lyrics are based on Coleridge's poetry. Marco Dogliotti and Simona Angioloni (Aries) handle the vocals quite well. Dogliotti sounds A LOT like Peter Gabriel. Members of La Maschera and Daedelus accompany Zuffanti on this fine prog journey. Highly recommended.$16.00
