³ Italian outfit DGM is now out with their third album, the ³
³ follow up to the surprisingly good "Change Direction". ³
³ Originally, DGM was formed as a three- piece instrumental ³
³ band in 1994. In 1995, the band was joined by a fourth ³
³ member, and the line- up was completed. In 1995 they ³
³ released their self-produced debut mini- cd "Random Access ³
³ Zone" and in 1997 the first full-length, " Change Direction ³
³ ", was released by Elevate Records. ³
³ ³
³ In September 1998, the band and drummer Gianfraco Tassela ³
³ decide to part ways, and new drummer Fabio Costantino is ³
³ recruited. The European version of "Wings of Time" has 8 ³
³ songs (the Japanese version has 2 bonus-tracks) with running ³
³ time of 47 minutes. What we are offered here is 8 songs of ³
³ very good prog/speed metal. The guitars are great, varied ³
³ and not unlike the playing of Micheal Romeo of Symphony X, ³
³ although not as much crunch and power. Guitarist Diego Riali ³
³ pulls off some cool riffs and some very tasty and melodic ³
³ guitar-solos. The songs are very guitar-driven, but the ³
³ keyboards are also noticeable, always filling the ³
³ background. On some songs, keyboardist Maurizio Pariotti ³
³ comes very close to the sound of Pinella of Symphony X, just ³
³ to give you a clue what this sounds like. All songs are ³
³ good, with catchy rhythms and great choruses, and there is ³
³ enough variation within each song to keep the music ³
³ interesting. The high- pitched vocals of Luciano Regoli is ³
³ good, and he does not have any problems singing the high ³
³ notes, although some people might find his voice a bit nasal ³
³ on some occasions. Compared to the last album, "WOT" has a ³
³ slightly more speedy edge to the songs, and is perhaps more ³
³ accessible, both in melodies and choruses. Style-wise the ³
³ Symphony X comparisons is obvious, all mixed with a good ³
³ portion of, let's say, Stratovarius. This should give you a ³
³ good idea of what this sounds like. Having said that, I do ³
³ think they have found their own style, which I think fans of ³
³ both prog and speed/power metal will enjoy. The production ³
³ is good, and has improved compared to the last album, ³
³ although there is still room for improvement. ³
³ ³
³ I think DGM has made a great album, which offers plenty ³
³ melody and the arrangements/songs are worked through very ³
³ well. I have played the cd many times now, and it gets ³
³ better with each spin. Fans of these styles of music should ³
³ get this cd right away, you would not want to miss it. I ³
³ rate this cd to 4 out of 5 points. Highly recommended! ³
