King's Journey

FANCYFLUID is an Italian Progressive rock band, that created a subtle mix between the Seventies local scene (BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO or PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI) and Eighties' neo Progressive music. Weak Waving (1989) is an excellent album, in the same vein as early MARILLION, with more diverse sounds and instruments (Cello, flute, saxophone...), and the charming voice of Fabrizio GORIA. King's Journey (1992) offers contributions by Rodolfo MALTESE (BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO) and Pietro RATTO (ATON'S). It's a splendid concept-album, explained in the booklet along with texts from all songs. The Sheltering Sea (1994) shows a deeper instrumental mastery, and offers a more complex and sophisticated music, mixing symphonism and orchestral subtlety. Not to be missed !
