An extraordinary solo performance by one of the most outstanding piano performers on the Italian and international scenes: Antonello Salis. Dynamic, energetic, virtuous, poetic, vigorous, and dashing are just some of the words that come to mind when thinking of Antonello. As put by trumpter and friend Paolo Fresu, "Antonello is a musician who can barely contain his irrepressible energy, displayed in whatever he undertakes: he oozes vitality from every pore. But his talent is not just energy and impetuousness. There's a kind of poetry in his music that catches one by surprise and is as disarming as it is bare and calm".
Peter Hammill has always had an abiding interest, it seems, in the blurred boundary between the mystical and the scientific, and between the rational and magical mind; this is certainly evident on the debut Van Der Graaf Generator album, even though Hammill had yet to really begin focusing himself on what it was that was driving him (despite the fact that the band's very name referenced a device that resembles a bastard mix of scientific apparatus and shamanic totem)…
Indra’s second solo creation is re-edited, added and carefully prepared for all those who have or have not had a chance to listen to it so far. According to Indra, it seems that Kingdom of Light was the most sold album for many years after its first release and he explains this on the CD booklet, plus some other interesting details about the stages that he took on to record this album.
We are discovering a 2nd album to rhythms surrounded by very nice orchestral arrangements. Oniric rhythmic structures where tempos are mainly moved by an impetuous synth, exception made of "Rustic Pictures" and "Malini", a little as Schulze made it on albums such as Totem and Picture Music but with more musicality and suave orchestral arrangements.
