Finisterre
Storybook 2001
Finisterre hails from Genoa, Italy. The group was formed in early 1992
by guitarist Stefano Marelli and bassist Fabio Zuffaniti with fellow
band members keyboard player Boris Valle and Flautist Sergio Grazia. The
band released two albums. The first album was released in 1995 titled
“Finisterre”. The second album was released in 1996 called “In
Limine”. The group established itself as a serious band creating music
in the style of early 70s progressive rock. In 1997, the band became a
quartet with the addition of drummer Andre Orlando (ex-Malombra) and
signed a record deal with Iridea Records. The band then released it’s
third effort in 1998 called “In Ogni Lougo” gaining critical acclaim
from Italian magazines Rockerilla, Rock Star, Caio 2001 and gained large
scale distribution.
Finisterre has been very active recently forming a new and expanded
lineup. For the first time in existence, the group now features a sextet
featuring main staples
Fabio
Zuffaniti on bass guitar, vocals;
Stefano
Marelli on electric and acoustic
guitars, vocals,
Andrea
Orlando on
drums, and new entries
Raffaella
Callea lead
vocals, flute,
Sergio
Caputo violin, percussion and
Agostino
Macor on keyboards.
Finisterre is an
Iredea
records recording artist, and has
released a new live CD in collaboration with
Moonjune
records, USA, called Storybook. Taken
from their appearance at Progday festival at Storybook farm, Chaple
Hill, NC August 31, 1997. An exceptional performance from this Italian
prog band that can take classic Italian prog, mix in some rock, jazz,
and some classical music and the outcome sounds great. You never get
tired of listening to this form of talent. The CD is made up of 8 tracks
taken from their CD’s “In Limine, and Fenisterre including a cover
of PFM’s anthem "Altaloma".
The recording is clear and a treat for your ears. If you like Italian
prog as much as we do, go buy this CD. This is a Wonderful performance
by Finisterre
and a worthy addition to your collection. For fans of progday this CD
was originally released as a limited edition of 500 on Proglodite
records, USA-2000. Now is your opportunity to get the Album
remastered and re-edited with an extra bonus track. For people that have
never heard of Finisterri go hear what you've
been missing.
Reviewer Thomas Connolly & George Roldan
