A Complete Discography of Everything the DFA Have Ever Made

"DFA specializes in a highly complex but richly melodic compound made of equal parts symphonic progressive rock and jazz fusion. Far from being the solo-happy wankfest it might appear to be from the description, the album is a testament to the band's strong ensemble work. The epic compositions, written by drummer Alberto De Grandis and keyboardist Alberto Bonomi, leave plenty of room for improvisation, but hew closely to tuneful outlines. Bonomi and guitarist Silvio Minella weave in and out of each other's virtuosity, creating a lush fabric of rich musical colors that never fails to engage. When either man solos, the break is equally impressive for its restraint as for its skill. De Grandis keeps the rhythm at a constant boil, with his jazzy cymbal work driving the sound as much as the kick drum; bassist Luca Baldassari holds steady, the pole off which the flags fly. "Trip on Metro," a piece that dates back to the group's early demos, shows a subtle Mahavishnu Orchestra influence, while "Pantera," "Caleidoscopio" and "Ragno" perfectly balance the blend of jazz rhythm, classical melody and rock firepower that is the hallmark of Italian progressive rock. Equally impressive and accessible, if this music is merely a work in progress, the final version will be drop-dead astonishing."

Do you honestly think I didn't try that already?

"Yeah" isn't out yet? But everybody and their mother's alredy heard it!! How is that possible?

WHO ARE DFA? Are they a band? Producers? A record label? I keep seeing DFA re-mixes of other bands.

Do they have an album out?

Sorry, I couldn't resist because I am prob the only one who reads that site and thinks of the band every time someone writes DFA.

It sounds to me like people have actually heard this track. So is it floating around SS and I just haven't been able to find it, or is there some other way I could find it? My gratitude would have no end.
