Trio Farfarello – 2 (1986) (24/96 Vinyl Rip)

German fusion trio fronted by the violin of Mani Neumann. Their unique blending of styles features elements of classical music, folk and ethnic cultures, together with variable amounts of jazz or progressive rock. Closest comparison: the Dutch band Flairck.

All tracks are instrumentals mostly with leading violin, well suitable as a soundtrack for your holiday videos. Recorded at the former Can-Studio, Cologne, this must be the best production and pressing of a record I ever ripped, with a frequency range of up to 30 kHz. After 1988 the band was simply called Farfarello, check further links on Discogs and RateYourMusic.
