Line-up

Alessandro Di Benedetti (Mad Crayon) - everything

   With

Rafael Pacha - guitars (6)

Description/Reviews:

The musician abandoned his complex and characteristic constructions of the progressive genre for simplicity in writing and a rhythm dominated by the 4/4. As in his first album The Musing (2014), Alessandro focused more on contrasts and moods. He uses drums that sound like the 70s and a slightly detuned upright piano, causing trouble and discomfort throughout this repertoire sprinkled with female choirs, vocalizations and sounds and sound effects which, like ghosts, give this music a disturbing and destabilizing character.

While mixing several styles (electronic, ambient, progressive rock, funk, classical, soundtrack), Alessandro maintained a unity in the sounds and the arrangements...

Line-up
Federico Fantacone

Description/Reviews:

 "Anarchy" is the result of an accurate research of sound design, which built layers of electronic but emotionally significant environments around the original drafts (all conceived on the piano). The harmonies are sometimes inspired by the 80' with extensive use of sequencers, other times by contemporary jazz with wide room for improvisation.

Perttu Lindberg: drums (1)

Description/Reviews:

The album kicks off with the self-titled “Lords Of Space”, a Hawkwind-ized Space Rock tune, full of power and energy while “Spirit Of The Age” comes to mind… “Chakra Vimana” is fueled with more electrical power, it’s a sonic Space journey across the universe, an incredibly Spaced-Out and deeply synthesized instrumental! “Head Encounter” is an energetic heavy Space-Rock tune, guitar-based, with lots of spacey effects and of course, the necessary ‘Hawkwind Aura’ is not missing from the track!

Description/Reviews:

Listening to The Way Home – the impressive debut album from his prog-pop project Kite Parade – it is clear to see how he followed through with this musical philosophy. Over seven vibrant and melodic tracks (including a concluding epic), you are treated to music that is both accessible and catchy, and yet with enough subtle proggy depth and complexity to keep prog rock listeners engaged.
