  • WORK IN PROGRESS - REVIEWS:

    One of the best live CDs ever heard from a prog group and one of the top releases for 2001.
    Steve Hegede, Zoltan's Progressive Rock Webpage, USA

    'Work In Progress' is an album of fine progressive fusion that is complex and convoluted yet, at the same time, is highly melodic and easily assimilated.
    Marisa Hill, New Horizons, UK

    What's even better the sound of the album is impressively solid and huge, and the drummer Alberto De Grandis' razor-sharp talent sends the band into a spiraling attack just as quickly as into a jazzy improvisation, while his bandmates challenge each other in a frenzied flurry of notes that spell "quality" at every step. Those who were at NEARFest that day better be grateful; they got to see and hear something that most people spend their entire lives waiting for.
    Marcelo Silveyra, ProgFreaks, Mexico

    What a brilliant album! Epic and sophisticated. With their complex progressive rock DFA unite old schooled 70's bands with modern sounds and jazz influences to a very own sound.
    Thorsten Gürntke, Progressive Rock Pages, Germany

    DFA's music really tends to burst out of your speakers, due to the fantastic songs, with lots of changing moods, surprising breaks and multiple changes in pace.
    Piet Michem, Prog-Nose, Belgium

    Phenomenal. The strong and steadily thumping bass pulses from the speakers like the blips of electronic light on a heart monitor, in this case indicating definite signs of new musical life. Streams of synthesizer and dancing keyboards quickly join in. Muscular guitar notes ring out above it all. The steady beat of drums then joins the sonic party, rounding things out and creating a cacophony of sound. A live masterpiece.
    Progressive Ears, USA

    DFA plays a modern explosive symphonic fusion with incredibly tight playing, that draws on many elements to produce a dynamic sound that can be blistering symphonic one minute and quiet and spacey the next. While they can easily blow you away with their intense sound, their excellent compositional skills and sense of dynamics always keeps the music fresh with plenty of breathing room. DFA are one of the brightest stars shining in today's murky progressive scene. While great on their studio albums, this band is especially at home in the live element and this performance is certainly indicative of that. 5 stars.
    Mike Prete, The Giant Progweed, USA

    Smoking live set recorded at Nearfest 2000. Anyone who was in attendance witnessed one of the hottest prog bands around. A complex blend of Gentle Giant influenced prog laced with long, long jazz rock heavy instrumental passages.
    Ken Golden, Laser's Edge, USA

    Utterly fantastic mostly instrumental jazz/rock fusion from one of the current top bands out of Italy. Highly recommended!
    Richard Stockwell, Cranium Music, New Zealand

    A wonderful new promising 4 piece Italian band that combines classic prog with modern touches, ranging from symphonic, complex to jazzy interludes and adding some tasty spacey moments.
    Ron Fuchs, ProgNaut, USA

    Damn good music, brilliantly executed!
    Lucio Mazzi, RoxyWeb, Italy

    Phenomenal!
    Chad Hutchinson, NearFest , USA

    Top league progressive rock/fusion band. And Alberto De Grandis shows us what an incredibly damn good drummer he is!
    Tore Røsbjørgen, Mr. Blues' Train World Of Music, Norway

    Their material is a mostly instrumental mixture of complex yet beautifully melodic progressive rock and hypnotic jazz rock/fusion, with Alan Holdsworth and U.K. influences. Their instrumentation is impressive but not overwhelming, and complex but not inaccessible.
    Mark Bredius, Planet Itchy, USA

    An hour of truly breathtaking prog-fusion, jaw-droppingly delivered.
    Glitzycape, UK

    Cascades of complex and intricate musical puzzles, seemingly endless changes of themes, moods, tempos, time signatures, tonal and atonal moves, long and short, but always enjoyable and virtuoso solos, with a wonderful work by the chef in the kitchen with all those dishes-plates-cymbals and all amazingly diverse toys prepared by Alberto De Grandis with a scorching drumfire. Impressive. A live masterpiece. 5 1/2 stars
    Vitalij Menshnikov, Progressor, Uzbekistan/Russia

    Great energy. Great music. Great album.
    Magne Røskaft, Some Progressive Rock From Norway, Norway

    Superb live album from DFA, one of the best progressive fusion bands heard in quite some time.
    Tim & Terri, Stone Premonitions/Alchemical Radio, UK

    DFA absolutely kicked ass with this live CD. The two stars are the keyboardist, Maestro Alberto Bonomi, who was all over the place, and the drummer, Alberto De Grandis, who pretty well ran a clinic on how to play. Often, while executing all this whirlwind activity on the drum set, he'd be singing at the same time, which is an almost ridiculous display of talent.
    Sean McFee, Gnosis, Canada

    ¡ Fuera de lo común! Extraordinary!
    Felix Alonso "Jaco", Escena Rock, Spain

    Sophisticated, complex music served by supreme musicianship - this is a live album to judge others by.
    Aymeric Leroy, Calyx/Big Bang, France

    A killer live album!
