Залит Winstons/(2016)_Winstons

Дебютный альбом итальянских Винстонов (не путать с американскими, 60-х годов).
Ребята вдохноляются старой кентеберрийской сценой, особенно группой Гонг, также Хоппером и Кевином Айерсом. ИМХО они еще и старым брит-попом вдохновляются.
В целом - мелодичный кантерберри, без экстрима и особых выкрутасов.
Рекомендую!

Though they go by the pseudonyms of Linnon, Rob and Enro Winston, the members of Milan-based trio TНE WINSTONS are three established musicians from Italy's indie rock scene: Lino Gitto, Roberto Della Era and Enrico Gabrielli. TНE WINSTONS, an overt homage to the psychedelic/Canterbury scene of the late Sixties and early Seventies, were born of the long friendship between these three talented artists. Their eponymous debut album, released at the very beginning of 2016, sports a surrealistic cover by Japanese artist Gun Kawamura, who also wrote the lyrics to two of the album's songs. In the spring of 2016 the band released a live album, "Live in Rome", a testimony to their intense concert activity, which also includes two previously unreleased tracks.

Залиты диски Winstons:
(2018)Pictures_An_At_Exhibition_(As_Winstons_AndEdMsC)
(2019)_Smith

Добавлен последний альбом "братьев" Винстонов. Заодно был обнаружен их диск с версией Картинок с выставки, Муссоргского.
Я не очень-то верил в удачность их версии (после ЭЛП и Томиты как-то сложно что-то придумать), но был приятно удивлён. Они сыграли близко к ЭЛП (даже специально помечают элп-шные версии), но совсем по-другому и совсем-таки не хуже. Орган и синезаторы Эмерсона подменяются скрипкой и вибрафоном, вводятся сдвоенные ударные итд итп. Ну, и набор несколько другой.
Что касается второго, последнего альбома, то там всё достаточно "традиционно, по-винстоновски" - Битлз, Дорз, кентерберри.
Альбомчик очень цельный, состоит из коротеньких треков, перетекающих из одного в другой. "Немного кофе, немного секса, совсем чуть-чуть Тиранозаурус Рекса..." (с)Майк.
ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

"In 2016 The Winstons’ debut album came like a bolt from the blue in the Italian rock scene, and almost made a miracle in binding together two worlds often considered poles apart: indie and progressive rock; the mix of Canterbury sounds (Soft Machine in the first place) and psychedelia (The Doors and The Beatles above all) offered by this new trio turned out to be really peculiar and original.

But even before their eponymous record came out, The Winstons had already played live in November 2015 their own personal reinterpretation of Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”. Today, that effort is finally put on record, thus renewing the partnership between AMS Records and the trio consisting of Enrico Gabrielli (keyboards, wind instruments), Roberto Dell’Era (bass, vocals) and Lino Gitto (drums, vocals).

A title like “Pictures at an Exhibition” and the ‘prog’ term immediately recall the homonymous Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s 1971 LP and, in fact, this record shares some moments with EL&P’s work. But there’s way more in this release, thanks especially to Roberto Izzo’s violin and the presence of Roberto De Gennaro (vibraphone, percussion), who collaborates with Enrico Gabrielli on the project ‘Esecutori di Metallo su Carta’ (EdSmC) and represents the contemporary and avant-garde side of this work.
“Pictures …” is not only exceptional in its musical aspect, but also from the visual point of view, thanks to the wonderful front cover illustration created by Jessica Rassi at her graphic studio The Giant’s Lab..."
