Garden Wall

Though not a household name, these Italians have been around for more than a decade, debuting in 1993 and with six albums released thus far. The album reviewed here is 2002's Forget The Colours (by several accounts, the previous albums are apparently different than this), a quirky, jazzy, dark prog/tech fest that is anything but an easy listen. There is a lot going on here, the kind of stuff that takes repeated exposure to fully absorb, with intricate riffing, complex time structures, off-the-wall influences, strange vocals, and a general sense of "what's coming next?". This is the kind of album that sharply divides listeners, with some fascinated by its diversity and unpredictability and others turned off by its lack of structure and focus.
