Another great band on Snapper/KScope: Nosound

[The Analog Kid]

great news 'independent' Nosound now signed to Snapper/KScope! (home of No_man, Anathema, R Barbieri and PT reissues)

I am sure they have been mentioned here before but any Sylvian fan is likely to love this - or else read this review http://www.dprp.net/reviews/200813.php#nosound

Formed in Italy in 2001, Giancarlo Erra’s Nosound creates a seductive
and original fusion of elements of Progressive, Ambient and Post Rock.
Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up
and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, Lightdark sees the Nosound
identity evolve into something even more focused and powerful.
Lightdark inventively combines influences from ’70s psychedelia,
’80s/’90s ambient and contemporary alt/progressive rock.
Recorded in Italy, England and the US throughout 2006 and 2007,
the album develops further the promise of debut album Sol29 and exhibits
a stronger group identity which reveals a greater contrast between
atmospheric detail and the walls of sound created by the band on stage.
Highlights include the 15 minute epic From Silence to Noise, the ethereal
The Misplay (with cellist Marianne DeChastelaine), and the epic
piano/mellotron driven ballad Someone Starts To Fade Away
(which features No-Man’s Tim Bowness on vocals). This 2 disc edition
of the album includes an exclusive five track bonus disc including
the video for Lightdark.

Lightdark will be released on September 15th.

and distributed as promotionals. If you have an original
pressing, make sure you keep your hands on it!

In July 2008 the band signed to the new post-progressive
label Kscope, and it's planning to play a few festivals before
returning to the studio later this year to start recording their
3rd release due in 2009.

This is going to be an amazing release and hopefully an amazing run for the boys! Well done to them and to Kscope.

Yes, highly recommended to any Sylvian fan - especially to those who also like PT.
