Arti + Mestieri - Giro di Valzer per Domani. 1975 Italy


Giro di Valzer per Domani is the second release from Art + Mestieri and is a slight improvement on Tilt. You won't get too far into an album by this group without noticing Furio Chirco's busy drum style, and that's one of the positive trademarks here as well. Other distinguishing factors include Giovanni Vigliar's violin, and Beppe Crovella's songwriting. This isn't the bombastic Italian prog we associate the scene with, but rather shorter vignette's are presented that are highly melodic. There are 15 tracks here, and all of them are well composed, and easy on the ears. There's a jazz rock underpinning but mostly this still belongs to the progressive rock genre.


Ownership: LP: 1975 Cramps. Gatefold with lyric inner bag. Interesting that the random number generator chose two albums in two days that I purchased at the Mad Platter in Springfield, Missouri (1989). As I said on the Dreamlab entry, I still have many from that buy.

CD: 2007 Strange Days. Papersleeve edition.

5/22/89 (first listen); 3/20/07; 12/5/17; 9/16/22 (review/new entry)
