Description/Reviews:
Italian artist Riccardo Zappa is out with the album "Gabri Flies to Italy", and I guess that progressive rock is the best category to sort this production under. It is a fairly low key and careful album we get here, with many of the all instrumental compositions exploring various combinations of acoustic guitars and keyboards first and foremost. Gentle, atmospheric laden and romantic creations, where the word dreamladen can be applied with a high degree of sincerity. On some of the compositions, like the massive title track that opens this album, we do get arrangements that are a bit more elaborate too, at least in parts of the song, and when I see references to the material of Mike Oldfield applied to some of Zappa's earlier albums I can hear that in those sequences and in passages in a few other songs too. This is music with an acoustic foundation that makes use of tendencies from acoustic rock, folk music and classical music without strictly adhering to any of these traditions, and sets them up in romantic and borderline cinematic journeys that occasionally touch base with similar types of landscapes as Mike Oldfield. If that sounds like music that will appeal to you, then this is an album that should be worth a listen. (Olav M. Bjornsen at progressor.net's facebook)Media/Samples
