Excerpt: “Italian based Dilatazione stick to their roots in a very romantic way where they worship the sound and compositions of Tortoise — and it works. The Italian foursome have got talent … you can sense the huge amount of emotion they’ve brought into this work. In a simple manner, they’ve produced some very atmospheric tunes in a vibe that you can trace, especially to the first couple of Tortoise-recordings — that band’s classic era. This means groove based songs with the drums and bass in focus adding nice and dreamy guitar themes on top… “Tutto Si Dimentica” is by far the standout track of the album. Dynamic, beautiful, and energetic, it ends in the most frantic mood you find on this album — leaving you in a state where you actually want the track to go on and on and on… if you fancy the more emotional and balanced period of Tortoise or simply want to learn more about post-rock culture, songs and sounds, this might be an album for you and a good place to start.”
