BWR190 PAOLO SIANI ft. NUOVA IDEA - Faces with no Traces Lp / Cd

After the album ‘’ Castles, wings, stories and dreams’’ and the DVD ‘’Nuova Idea -Live Anthology’’, ‘’Faces with no traces’’ is the second solo album of Paolo Siani.
Siani wrote all tracks, arrangements and lyrics with the participation of many musicians.
1) This album starts with ‘’Intro Duduk’’ (Armenian typical ethnic instruments) a brief melody of Gevorg Dabaghyan, probably the best duduk’s player; magical and evocative theme that will be also the beginning of the next live concerts.
2) After the Intro Paul Gordon Manners sing and play the guitars in ‘’No one’s Born a Hero’’ acoustic ballad whose theme is a an ancient legend of a simple farmer which defeated a giant only his magical sword (Blunderbuss).
3) First ‘electric’ track is ‘’Welcome aboard’’ where the voice of Roberto Tiranti sing a theme that invite the audience to come aboard of a ‘’staggering ship’’ to discover new worlds. Here there are also the guitars of Paolo Vacchelli and Marco Abamo, the Farfisa organ of Paolo Tognazzi, bass Roberto Tiranti and the voice and drums of Paolo Siani.
4)‘’Black Angel’s Claws’’ is the following track in which P. Siani plays all instruments except bass played by Guido Guglielminetti. Lyrics are much autobiographic about the theme of bad people and the inability to forgive the evil that these people do.
5)‘’Free the borders’’ is the next track with the participations of Guido Guglielminetti at bass, Carlo Marrale (ex Matia Bazar) acoustic and electric guitars, paolo Vacchelli efx electric guitar, Federico Buelli at sax solos, Nuove Armonie (40 female singers) choir conducted by Maurizio Ramera and arranged by Diego e Fabio Gordi with Laura Capretti soloist voice, mellotron played by Giangiusto Matiucci and the voices of Paolo Siani and Paul Gordon Manners; lyrics wants push the dictators to leave people free to move and against the wars where die thousands of young people for the thirst of power of a few men.
6) ‘’Rockstar’’ is an ironic rock song played at guitars by Ricky Belloni after an oprgan Intro by Paolo Tognazzi, bass and voice of Roberto Tiranti, hammond organ and drums of Paolo Siani. This rockstar has a recurring dream in which the girls run away for his bad breath
7) ‘’Post War Saturday Echo’’ is an originally Quatermass blues of 1971 here live recorded with Paolo Siani at drums, Roberto Tiranti at bass and lead vocal, Marco Zoccheddu at piano and Giorgio Usai at hammond organ It denounces the emptiness of the frantic city life.
8) ‘’Three Things’’ , strongly autobiographical is a suite in 6/8 whose theme is the reflection that every man has the attainment of a mature age . Very brief , the lyrics say how important they are to the ' end of journey' : what they loved , what has been experienced with gentle manners and how much you have let go of things that were not important to improve their existence. Cellist Eva Feudoi Shoo . Three Things i salso presented as single and videoclip (directed by Matteo Malatesta for MALAPRODUCTION87)
9’’E’riu’’ (pronounced eirù ) is the last song , instrumental, that Paolo Siani dedicated to Celtic music and , in particular , to that of Ireland . Eriu consists of two parts in which the first , slow and orchestral , opens to the second which is a real dance . The accordion solo by Marco Zoccheddu gives a further boost to the dance that ends the album in a folk way semiacustico as it had begun .
10 ) Bonus track 1 – Lee Roy Thornhill (ex Prodigy ) and Alessandro Siani present their ‘’Black Angel’s Claws Remix’’ built with powerful and contemporary sounds . This track was mastered by Geoff Pesche in the Mastering Room 5 of Abbey Road Studios in London.
