The club has a recording studio on the premises, which enables recording both studio and live material in high quality. The group, fronted by the incredible singer Alberto PirasFind albums by this artist, whose voice is of truly operatic quality, plays a strange mixture of Jazz-Rock Fusion, RIO and Avant-Garde, completely unique and amazing. The lyrics are both in Italian and Latin (they were all Latin on their previous album "CinqueFind albums with this title") and were written by Piras; the music was all composed by guitarist Maurino CollinaFind albums by this artist and keyboardist Fabrizio PuglisiFind albums by this artist. The DVD includes a complete live concert filmed at the club as well as other bonus material like interviews with the band members and earlier video clips going back to the early days of the group in the 1990s. Altogether this is an impressive package containing both studio and live material and concert footage – a great document of a great group. A must for RIO and Fusion enthusiasts alike and considering the success of their previous album, very little encouragement is needed to make people go for this one.
