Lanzi & Sodano did not want to be nailed down on a fixed style. Their new album reinforces that
notion. Concerning styles, Adriano Lanzi and Omar Sodano are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Their juggling of different sorts of music is nimble to an extent that will lead not only a few of their listeners to spontaneous fits of hilarity. In their music, one encounters modern, almost fashionable kinds of jazz as well as free music, while now and then one can catch a glimpse of post rock through the elegent and highly musical arrangements. Then again it is multi-layered electronica. While being highly dexterous in all musical genres, they never simply show off with their knowledge but use it in a very creative way. This they do not
achieve by using samples – the extremely nice digipack proudly bears the disclaimer ‘No Samples’. Lanzi & Sodano move beyond simple sampling and even quotations. In a way which one can only describe as extremely clever, they let styles infuse their songs wihout having them formed by it. Let me be more plain: They do not quote these styles of music, they simply are them. LA VITA PERFETTA is extremely well produced and a real find for fans of Electronica, Postrock and Jazz.
