"Monty is a fascinating journey through the wild mind of a
maverick", PROG
magazine, UK
“Monty, the surprise of the year”, (trad.) Fabio Zuffanti’s TOP 5, PsycandProg, Italy
"In Vuoto our host demonstrates that he is a gifted drummer and
bassist, instruments that form the backbone of this well-thought-out song. Get
It Right shows the chaos in the Capital, repetitive and rhythmic with
unpredictable outliers." John Bobo Bollenberg, iO pages, Netherlands
“All in all, this is an intriguing ride with some stellar moments'. Gary
Hill, Music Street Journal, USA
"Unpretentious and personal, even if you don’t speak the language
the artsy mood simmers through like the sauce of Monday’s gnocchi", George
W. Harris, Jazz Weekly, USA
"Nothing is impossible for one who’s ready to go all the way and
make a strange land his own...", Dmitry M. Epstein, DMME Let it Rock, USA
"Expérimental et
dérangeant, Monty est un mélange audacieux de jazz, de world et
d'avant-garde", Corto, Music Waves,
France
"The elegant and refined atmosphere created by the artist, his
dreamy voice and some melodic solutions remind of Italian progressive pop of
the seventies”, Michele Neri, Vinile,
Italy
“The mix, by Matteo Nahum, highlights some effects and reverbs, while
the later mastering, by Nate Wood, underlines the balance between a deep bass
and subtle cymbals. Everything in a way in which Emiliano Deferrari, showing
his talent, creates a disc of difficult hearing and perception, being only
destined to specialized ears”, VIANOCTURNA,
Portugal
"The haunting, spiritually awakening echoes of 'Aria' are the first
sound to reach out to you and that is backed by the stoic, precise piano and
drum lite 'Essere.' The mid-tempo, slow saxophone snap of 'Ecco' is one my my
favorites, and I know it will be yours too, and that's followed by both the
interesting soundscape of 'L'altroverso' and then comes the dedicated, strained
even at times, piano work of 'Vuoto”, Anna Carlini, Exclusive Magazine, USA
"Beginning with the short 75-second instrumental "Aria,"
you are instantly transported to another realm of musical
talent...". James Pasinski, JPs
Music Blog, USA
"Vous l'aurez
compris, nous avons là un disque différent, complètement hors modes, que seules
les très grandes oreilles pourront apprécier à sa juste valeur ; si nous
devions établir un parallèle avec quelque chose d'existant, le KING CRIMSON le
plus intimiste de notre ami Robert serait un bon point de départ et
d'achoppement...", Profil Prog,
Canada
“If you are enthusiastic about very original music, which for lack of
better comparisons I have put it close to the Canterbury-Prog, you should
listen to it”, Siggy Zielinski, BabyBlaue,
Germany
“The individual songs that we meet on the album "Monty" are
arranged in such a way that it is easy to divide the album into two
conventional parts: the first - musically more jazz and apparently improvised,
while the second is more rhythmical and dynamic, with a drum machine and
repeating like mantras, chorus, which reaches its zenith in the final and best
"Fuoco" on the album”, Artur Chachlowski, MLWZ, Poland
"Fuoco, an excellent swinging mix of dance, progressive rock,
experimental music and rousing rhythms, where sitting still is not an issue.
"Monty" by Emiliano Deferrari is a nice sounding album, which
contains some fantastic swinging songs and I can wholeheartedly recommend this
album, to everyone who loves dance, pop, experimental music and progressive pop
rock” Carry Munter, New Underground
Music, Netherlands
