TRACK BY TRACK ANALYSIS BY MARCO SFOGLI
Still Hurts: This is my tribute to the 80’s influences that I listened many years ago. I was born as hard rock guitar player, listening to bands like Europe, Winger, Danger Danger, Def Leppard and so on and this track reflects my earlier passion. In fact I choose it as opening track for its majestic “in style” intro.
Andromeda: When I started writing this record my goal was to be as much spontaneous as possible. Wouldn’t have been “my” record without a modern, progressive tune...and there it is! Odd times, crazy runs, absolutely the most difficult and tricky song I recorded so far. Main verse in 13/16.
Seven: Early traces of Seven can be found back in 2002 I guess, when I first heard it from my former keyboard player. The main theme was so strong that I decided to pick it up again and give it a new fresh “Methenyan” middle part (with a beautiful synth solo courtesy of Alex Argento). One of my favourite moment of this record.
There’s Hope: I wrote this one as soon as I came back from the recording sessions of James Labrie’s “Elements of Persuasion”. I was lock and load and in the right mood to pop out a metal tune and here it is. John Macaluso did a great job on it! The title reflects my feelings I had after getting the Labrie gig.
Spread The Disease: One of my dad’s favourite. I always liked the blues players “tastiness” and this is my humble tribute to this beautiful music.
Farewell: Probably the earliest song (and my dad’s favourite...). When I was 6, after the Van Halen binge, I discovered Joe Satriani who’s been (and still is) one of my favourite guitar players. I wrote this one back in 1999 and recorded a demo just later. The lead on the demo had so much fire in it that I decided to keep it instead of trying to go for a “good one”. I love this one, has so many memories in it.
Sunset Lights: The 7th track of an album is generally the “ballad” track. Originally intended to sound more folk-prog than now |
