A SUPERGROUP – WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL PARTICIPATION OF MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT FROM OPETH – REVISITS TWO CLASSIC SONGS BY DALTON, FROM THEIR LEGENDARY 1973 DEBUT ALBUM “RIFLESSIONI: IDEA D’INFINITO”!
AMS Records is extremely proud to present a peculiar and undoubtedly unique reinterpretation of two iconic tracks from Dalton’s legendary first 1973 record “Riflessioni: idea d’infinito”, with a modern sound but also faithful to the original spirit; both songs – “Riflessioni” and “Idea d’infinito” – come in two versions, one sung and one instrumental.
Under the guidance of Aronne Cereda, the only original Dalton line-up member, an ensemble of musicians from the Italian and international prog-rock scene was called upon to fully re-record two tracks of a legendary LP that still today hasn’t lost a single shred of its timeless charm.
In addition to Aronne Cereda, here on vocals and acoustic guitar duties, the musicians involved in this project are:
Mikael Åkerfeldt, Opeth’s mastermind, on electric guitars, whose exceptional involvement in this project is largely due to his boundless love for Italian progressive rock;
Cristiano Roversi, who released with Moongarden various essential Italian prog albums of the ’90s and ’00s, as artistic producer and keyboard player;
Enrico Gabrielli from Calibro 35, a jazz-funk-psych group strongly inspired by ’70s Italian soundtracks of the 70s, on flute;
Diego Petrini from the eclectic Il Bacio della Medusa on drums;
Marco Croci from Maxophone, Jumbo and Submarine Silence on bass.

UN SUPERGRUPPO – CON L’ECCEZIONALE PARTECIPAZIONE DI MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT DEGLI OPETH – REINTERPRETA DUE CLASSICI BRANI DEI DALTON, DALLO STORICO ESORDIO DEL 1973 “RIFLESSIONI: IDEA D’INFINITO”!
A 50 anni dall’anno di pubblicazione del primo album dei Dalton, “Riflessioni: idea d’infinito”, AMS Records è orgogliosa di presentare una rivisitazione particolare, inedita e senza dubbio unica, dal sound moderno ma al tempo stesso fedele allo spirito originale, dei due brani che danno il titolo all’album: “Riflessioni” e “Idea d’infinito”, ciascuno presente in due versioni, una cantata e una strumentale.
Sotto la guida di Aronne Cereda, unico membro originale della storica formazione dei Dalton, un ensemble di musicisti della scena prog-rock italiana e internazionale è stato chiamato a ri-registrare interamente due storiche tracce di un LP leggendario, che ancora oggi non ha perso un briciolo del suo fascino senza tempo.
Oltre ad Aronne Cereda, alla voce e alla chitarra acustica, i musicisti coinvolti in questo progetto sono:
Mikael Åkerfeldt, mastermind degli Opeth, alle chitarre elettriche, il cui eccezionale coinvolgimento in questo progetto è in buona parte dovuto alla sua sfrenata passione per il rock progressivo italiano;
Cristiano Roversi, autore con i suoi Moongarden di album fondamentali di prog italiano degli anni ‘90 e 2000, in veste di produttore artistico e tastierista;
Enrico Gabrielli dei Calibro 35, gruppo jazz-funk-psych fortemente ispirato alle colonne sonore italiane degli anni ’70, al flauto;
Diego Petrini degli eclettici Bacio della Medusa alla batteria;
Marco Croci di Maxophone, Jumbo e Submarine Silence al basso.

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii

A melding of East and West coast musicians, the primary slants here are orchestral and folk/world/fusion progressive music, superbly played. The fretless, acoustic and electric bass, vocals, and lyrics of Martin Springett tie it all together, along with the distinctive packaging of artwork also supplied by Springett. You’ll find flamenco, electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, bassoon, violin and soprano sax herein. A treat for the senses. Nickie Harte Kelly
