Court biography
1. Symphonic Prog band with strong classical influences. Many accoustic instruments are used, giving the band almost a chamber characteristic. Very interesting arrangements with sophisticated and passionate romanticism: CIRCUS, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, EZRA, WINSTON, LOCANDA DELLE FATE ...
The band has won the Los Angeles Music Award 2007 as the best Alternative Artist!
[ProgArchives.com]

2. The project started in 1990, Paolo Lucchina, Mose Nodari, Luigi Bonacina, Andrea Costanza, and Francesco Vedani were the original original line-up. After three years the Court, who were 19 at the time, were contacted by the indie label Music is Intelligence who proposed them to record their first studio album, And you'll follow the winds' rush 'till their breath dwells, in the Roxanne Studio in Stuttgart.

The international critics saluted this work with great enthusiasm: "Court filters progressive, folk and ancient music traditions, generating a new, original sound, completely detached from the very concept of song. Their music develops with unlimited creativity, explicitly trying to overcome any boundary [..] The band signs an absolute masterpiece like Alviss' Revenge, 15 minutes of heavenly madness" (Metal Shock, note: 4 ½ out of 5). The historical prog-fanzine " Melodie & Dissonanze", after defining the CD "The most impressive, mature, and original episode from the Italian scene in 1993", describes the band's sound: "The electro-acoustic soul of Court expresses itself spontaneously through following a track which ideally connects the middle-age music traditions, the passion and energy of the most clever grunge scene, the visionary attitude of psychedelic rock, and the theatrical expression of art-rock". After the release of the album, the band started an intense series of concerts in Italy , and northern Europe (Germany , Netherlands , Switzerland , Norway ). The song Eckol was chosen as single, and a video clip was realized.

In 1997 the second album Distances was recorded near Frankfurt . The magazine Rockerilla commented "It seems that the four years passed from the previous realise have been devoted by the band to develop furthermore its technical and emotional capabilities. Distances is an impressive folk masterpiece, characterized by a totally creative and free approach. [.] The band has signed a work which should be considered completely independent from the local and contemporary scene, but rather ranked among the most colourful folk-prog-psych albums from anywhere and anytime.".

Right after the release of Distances , Andrea Costanza left the band. After several line-up changes at the guitar (Giorgio Ricordi, Andrea Balliano) Marco Strobel finally joined the band. A demo was produced in 2003, and finally in 2007 the band produced and recorded its third official work: Frost of Watermelon. The work was immediately followed by a tour in the USA. For this occasion the young Jacopo Favrin replaced Luigi Bonacina at the bass, the tour culminated with a unforgettable concert at the Gig in Hollywood. The band was noted by US promoters, and convinced to participate to the Los Angeles Music Awards. After a tight series of selections, on November 30th 2007 Court was awarded as Best Alternative Band by the jury.

[spoiler="Об альбоме (сборнике)"]
I must admit that after one listen there's no way I thought I would give this 4 stars. Well it grew on me quickly.The vocals sound like they belong in the Neo-Prog genre, reminding me of the guy from SHAKERY at times.Yes this Italian sings in English.This is a long one (76 minutes) but there's so much great stuff on here I have to give it a low 4 stars.
"Limbo" is a top three track and believe it or not it has a Swedish flavour to it. Strummed guitar to open as vocals and a fuller sound arrive quickly. It does turn aggressive and 3 1/2 minutes in we get emotional vocals. "Men I Met" is a short uptempo vocal track. "Walking And Talking" is another top three tune.They slow it down here and it's quite beautiful. It does kick in at 1 1/2 minutes with emotion then it settles back as contrasts continue. "When I Lose" is laid back to start with vocals. It picks up before 1 1/2 minutes and the guitar comes to the fore after 3 minutes when the vocals stop. Flute replaces the guitar until after 4 1/2 minutes when the guitar returns and lights it up with mellotron. "Past Days" is a very good instrumental piece. It has a good beat with some intense outbreaks.

"Wet Of Sky" opens with acoustic guitar as reserved vocals join in. It's raining. "My World" is laid back with strummed guitar and vocals.This sounds much better when it picks up. Some nice guitar after 4 1/2 minutes. "Bridge To Maya" opens with the sound of birds and mellotron. It kicks in louder at 2 1/2 minutes. A heavier sound before 6 1/2 minutes. "Synaptic Ghost" sounds cool as the vocals join in. A heavier sound comes and goes. Just a great sounding track. "Sun Beyond Time" is my other top three. I really enjoy this one especially the vocals.The guitar leads before 3 minutes then it settles back with vocals 5 minutes in and builds beautifully. More great guitar late. "First Stones" has acoustic guitar, reserved vocals and aboe that comes and goes. It's fuller after 2 minutes. So good.

"Mad And Child" is a 24 minute, 4 song suite to end the album. It opens with "You" which is fairly laid back and it really reminds me of SHAKERY. It does get heavier late. "Mother Nature" has some mandolin in it and it's mellow until picking up late. "Father" is pastoral with acoustic guitar and more reserved vocals. It does pick up. Some accordion in this one too and the guitar comes to the fore around 5 1/2 minutes. "Myself" has lots of percussion and intricate acoustic guitar.Vocals join in and then it kicks in after 2 1/2 minutes.We get a calm later on.

This is a good one and worth checking out.
