Stereokimono, in the actual line-up since 1995, distinguish themselves keeping distance from codified genres. The ability to create sound atmospheres with an extraordinary expressive freedom not submitted to any rule, leads them immediately in developing a refined repertory with a strong emotional involvement. The debut of "Psychophonic Oblique Rock" (as they ironically love to define their music) starts in 2000 with the CD titled "Ki", the album that projects them in the new musical scene at the center of the audience interest. To confirm this debut, the band wins the fifth edition of the national music competition "Stratosferica", dedicated to the memory of Demetrio Stratos.
Hitzone - Best Of 2021 is a double CD with only the greatest hits of the past year.
ALIANTE are a real surprise in Italian music. They are creative, careful, never dispersive and never excessive. They have clear ideas and the right talent to put them into practice. They know perfectly how to play with melody and with harmonious twists to create evocative and emotional enchanting music. A new sound sensation that smells of art and cultivated music without being snobbish. Just a gliding and planing flight, calm, reflective, with a few moments of slight madness in a faster descent can fully describe (or at least give the same kind of sensations) of the music you can hear in this album of ALIANTE. Unpretentious music that wants to open the boundaries of progressive rock to end in wide open skies, where the melody is absolute master and at the same time a travel companion of rhythms and unusual tempos.
This is a collection called “Tidbeats”. Its title means “music bars” but it reads also as tidbits. It contains, in fact, original unreleased tracks from the likes of Stelvio Cipriani, Francesco De Masi, Piero Umiliani, Gianni Ferrio, Giorgio Gaslini, Riz Ortolani, Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni and many other great masters of the Italian soundtracks.
