Italian seven-octave vocal range singer Claudio Milano after seven years gap returns with impressive album, released under NichelOdeon/InSonar & Relatives name. What we got here in fact is a collection of music, recorded with different line-ups in different places all around Italy during 2014-2019.

Extremely eclectic, this album in whole works surprisingly well as if was recorded at once, according to (mad) scenario. In a few words, what happens here can be described as the soundtrack for(inexistent) "Picasso's Guernica" movie, recorded by Frank Zappa XXI century's incarnation after his return back to fatherland of Sicily. Quite cinematographic, album's music combines prog rock, metal elements, baroque organs, Gothic darkness, operatic vocals, Weimar Republic operetta, classic strings, bombastic pathetic atmosphere cross-mixed with Diamanda Galas aesthetics and... many many more.

Vocals (and lyrics) is still a king here, so I would recommend to find the lyrics in the language you understand (originally - in Italian),it helps(English translation has been kindly provided to me by Claudio himself). As with many Claudio's previous albums, the main problem is who the listener is. The album is so radically eclectic, that it's difficult to imagine which musical genre fans will accept it as "music, produced for them". Those fearless hearts, searching for something they probably never heard in their life, must give it chance.
