FS> PC> Il Berlione - both
 PC> Not as good as I thought, based on strong expectations.  Don't
 PC> care much for the sax playing but very original and full of
 PC> energy.  Has that urban-schizo quality that you find in Happy
 PC> Family but shows a bit more melodic work.
 
FS>Can't imagine finding this disappointing.
   I did have very high expectations and payed a lot for these.
FS> The first album is utterly brilliant.  Especially the guitar heavy 
FS> "Make You Die, Your Brain" and the sax heavy "Kouenji, Memories In 
FS> The Rain" (along with it's blistering guitar solo).  This is one 
FS> album that I loved upon first listen, and have yet to tire of.
   Not in my case.  It took a lot of time.  But I must agree that
   the guitar gets pretty intense and hard to resist.  That's the
   first thing that got me.  I must also say that it gets better
   with every listen - and that's a good sign.
   
FS> The second album I found quite disappointing upon my first few
FS> listens, but I've grown to like it quite well.  Jazzier, while the
FS> first is bluesier.
   Originaly, I liked a bit more than the other one, simply because
   it seemed to cover more ground.  Jazzier vs Bluesier ?  Makes
   sense, and could explain a few things.  I listen to far more jazz
   fusion than blues.  Also explains why I don't care much for the
   sax player.  Sure he can burn and blister but doesn't seem to be
   able to reach that level while improvising on a definite theme.
   Anyways, I kept both and they are growing on me.  So, I am still
   a bit disapointed but not enough to sell them to a friend who
   offered to pay what I did for them ;)
Regards,
Paul C.
