Dizzyingly fast guitar runs, turn-on-a-dime drums lines and thunderous yet agile bass guitar all come together to create music that is surprisingly hook-filled. And humor \u2013 a quality that&#8217;s all too often lacking in prog \u2013 is served up by this Italian duo in copious quantities. Dolcetti spins out catchy tune after catchy tune, and there&#8217;s very little in the way of musical pretense. The duo&#8217;s judicious use of keyboards adds to the ear-candy nature of the tunes. Some of them cheerfully lumber, dinosaur fashion, like \u201cIdea effe.\u201d But unexpected bursts of pig-squeal guitar \u2013 and Zappa-esque tuned percussion \u2013 puncture any serious air, much like the punch line at the end of a joke.
