Mirko Pirozzi "Candy Almost Every Day"

There is something magical about the sound of synthesizers and heavily affected guitars accompanied by acoustic drums - I imagine that's why we saw the "prog" rock revolution of the 1970s. I remember being mesmerized by the sound of Yes, or later bands like Dream Theater, where rock, jazz, electronics, and classical compositional techniques could all come together in a stellar performance. 

It is in that spirit that I would like you to listen to Mirko Pirozzi, a composer, arranger, and performer out of Italy. His track "Candy Almost Every Day" is a hauntingly beautiful soundscape of beautiful instrumentation and powerful sounds. The guitar and synthesizer cascades play nicely against each other, while thundering drums keep the energy going. Additionally, there is such a sense of craftsmanship compositionally speaking; it's like anyone could listen to this piece and say "wow, this cat knows what he's doing." 

"Candy Almost Every Day" is part of the album "I am Not a Robot," and is available at BandCamp.
