Saino, France


Saino. 1982 private

Far superior to most instrumental fusion albums coming from Europe during this time, Saino provides much more firepower than expected, plus the melodic content is very high - keeping this from a cold technical academic exercise. Five piece group that employs both a lead and rhythm guitar, which seems to be the magic formula that propels Saino's music forward. I haven't heard their second album from 1984 to date.

Priority: 2

6/12/09 (new entry); 6/3/24

I do have the LP, but I'm away from the collection for about a month. I'll try to remember to look it up at that time!

Thanks again for the compliments on the site.
