Nieuws MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

Omschrijving | “Ambigram" is an English term coined in 1986 by
Douglas Hofstadter: “A calligraphic design that
has
two or more clear and distinct interpretations.
The
two readings are usually generated through the
change of point of view that can be obtained
through rotations and symmetries or other
expedients "(Wikipedia)
Never was a "more appropriate” definition to
introduce to the world the release of the
eponymous
debut album by Ambigram, a new super-band composed
by leading musicians who have very deep roots in
progressive and underground music. Among them also
appears, in the production phase, a certain Greg
Lake (Wherever he is now, for the help given in
developing this project over the years).
Embedded in the meaning itself of the name,
Ambigram is also a record that lends itself to be
read and enjoyed with different narratives and
fruition levels; it is a complex but enjoyable
album that is a pleasure to listen at and, above
all, decidedly engaging at each subsequent
listening ...
The definition, which lead vocalist Francesco
Rapaccioli most loves to use to describe their
music, is `pro aggressive` rock ... do not be
fooled by the pun: The basis on which their sound
is nourished is a solid rock with haunting
melodies
inspired by the classic British school, with
classy
arrangements. Throughout the work we perceive a
very accurate research and study of detail, thank
also to the precious cameos of Ambigram`s guests
who collaborated on the project: Area’s legendary
guitarist Paolo Tofani (guitar solos on track 6-
7),
the super vocalist Paola Folli (vocals on track
4),
Camillo Mozzoni, la Scala Orchestra’s former 1st
Oboe (oboe on tracks 2,7), keyboard`s wizard Max
Repetti and, last but not least, Marco Rancati and
Annie Barbazza on background vocals. The "rhythm
machine" is expertly conducted by Gigi Cavalli
Cocchi (drums) who marks the times with power and
elegance; Beppe Lombardo`s guitars, accompanied by
Max Marchini`s bass, have the ability to make each
piece unique.
The voice of Francesco Rapaccioli brings the
emotional side to a new level where lyrics span
from suburban crimes to mythological journeys with
a deep bound to the Sea exploring its haunting
meanings from Odysseus lost in the Aegean Isles to
Argonauts search symbolism. |
