ARCANSIEL - Swimming In The Sand
LOW FARE FLIGHT TO THE EARTH - Paolo BaltaroPaolo BALTARO is an experienced and talented Italian musician, singer, songwriter and producer from ARCANSIEL, and also involved in the bands MHMM and SADO. For this first solo album, he is joined by numerous guests, on guitars, violin, bass, saxophone... Our man has chosen a CD and LP combined release, with a new system for improvement of digital audio tracks ("Rewave System"), which allows a combination of high digital quality with the warmth of the analog vinyl sound. These nine songs (Plus one bonus on the CD) are a mix of pop-rock, Progressive rock colours on keyboards, and aggressive and powerful sequences ala PORCUPINE TREE. Paolo BALTARO's voice, raucous and expressive, and his talent of producer, give the album a strong personality and musical high level. An excellent collection of worked-out songs.
Deeply in his heart the Beatles, psychedelia but also rock and surreal intimism. A music route that has been going on throughout his life, a music route that never forgets parameters linked to popular music: a walk among winning pieces, winning yes, but not for a choice and never in length. Thus, either by chance or for capacity, flow the nine tracks (plus one ghost) which make up the musical painting. WIth: Pier Michelatti, Gianni Opezzo, Alo Sogno, Barbara Rubin, Davide Trevisio, Diego Marzi, Emanuele Polato e Kristian Mellergaard Hansen.

ARCANSIEL - Swimming In The Sand
ARCANSIEL is an Italian Progressive rock band, which has released three albums between 1988 and 1994: "Four Daisies", "Still Searching" & "Normality Of Perversion". Published today on the Musea label, "Swimming In The Sand - The Best-Of 1988-2004" can be considered as a compilation, except for the fact that the musicians have re-recorded the selected tracks. This makes a big difference ! This music is a particular mix of influences, MARILLION's neo Progressive seems to be the major component of it.
Yet, they haven't forgotten about the Seventies and symphonism, so much appreciated by Italian music lovers. The shadow of GENESIS is sometimes very present, as well as the blend of the traditional Progressive rock music featured by PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI and BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO. The excellent and very charismatic singer Paolo BALTARO offers some remarkably intensive interpretations. As far as the music is concerned, it alternates between direct melodies and complex instrumental developments, and is particularly fond of flute, saxophone or violin parts. We can also note the presence of an epic song lasting 20 minutes, which is remarkable in this field. Thanks to this new sound which is true to its music, ARCANSIEL is just waiting to be rediscovered...
