Control-Z or CTRL-Z is, of course, the undo button. It is also the second album of Post Generation
The album title fits the concept at the heart of this new concept album, which is a dystopian office that has the power to undo what it deems to be a bad feeling or bad emotion within any of its citizens, resulting in a "mass of zombified citizens".
Post Generation play progressive rock with a strong side of pop music, listing Porcupine Tree as an important influence, though vocalist and guitarist Matteo Bevilacqua came from heavier roots, as the bass player for Diaries of a Hero. Joining Matteo in this album we have Antonio Marincola stepping up on bass and multi-instrumentalist Carlo Peluso playing keyboards and whatever else is needed. There are two session drummers (Christof Stahl and Paolo Rigotto) and a female vocalist Michaela Senetta.
The album has been described as primarily rock, but often pop, albeit always progressive, fascinating and imaginative.
A collage of fascinating moments arranged in a particular order to tell a dystopian story, linked primarily by the soft voice of Matteo Bevilacqua, who occasionally passes the mike to Michaela Senetta.
There's a lot going on here and that's underlined by so many of the songs sounding not at all like each other.
This album is for listeners who want many textures, not just within an album but within a song, and for those textures to stay interesting for almost an hour.
