CREAZIONE

A PIEDI NUDI's "Creazione" is a pure out and out workout with their characteristic mix of 70's sensitivities and 90's heavy power rock. Although a bit dark and distorted at times, A PIEDI NUDI never lose their melodic touch and offer some fantastic and original music. May be best described as a cross of Il BALLETTO DI BRONZO and KING CRIMSON. Their sound is very 70s like, quite complex (start and stop prog-like) yet very likeable. The music never really holds still for more than a minute or so for those looking for an album that breathes, this is definitely not the one!. The overall sound is comfortably heavy with the guitar and keyboard dominating throughout. The vocals are quite solid (Carlo Bighetti - flute , vocals). The rest of the band are Nicola Gardinale (guitar), Cristian Chinaglia (keyboards), Simone Naghetti (bass) and the big surprise is Enrico Barchetta who plays the French horn. When The horn is played it adds a real interesting vibe into the mix. Overall a great but quite heavy excursion into some new territory.
