e are ahead of a work of highest level in the panorama of the current
musical production in general terms. The record opens in the artist, or
either, with steps and assobios of proper Eric Mantel, who after that says
something, bind the radio and go moving of station, in that if it follows a
nocturnal sound of crickets, a stream, rain, bells, guitar, gong and sitar
(Indian instrument that if still became sufficiently popular from the years
60 favours the master Ravi Shankar and the Beatles and the Rolling Stones).
This was the band heading, The Unstruck Melody. One is about a work that
exceeds labels: rock, pop, jazz, instrumental music contemporary...? The
COMPACT DISC is composed of 20 bands, being that 8 of them possess letter
and, therefore, vocal. Eric Mantel also shows to be an excellent vocalista.
In this its work it is folloied by highly competent musicians (low,
keyboards, battery, percussion, guitar, to sitar, tampura, tamboori,
tablas), this without speaking in the excellent vocalistas that follow it
and they assist it. We cannot leave to detach the excellent proportionate
climatic tickets for the keyboards and the Indian instruments. Eric also
declares openly its influences in encarte of the COMPACT DISC, which
include, beyond the ones of always and obvious (Beatles, Rolling Stones,
Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page), some of the masters of
the guitar of the gradual rock as Steve Howe (YES), Greg Lake (ELP) and Alex
Lifeson (RUSH). The third band, The Simple Things, compare the wisdom of
the American indians with the lack of espiritualidade and ignorance of the
American white man. This COMPACT DISC is indicated the fans of works of
guitarists of the most varied styles and trends, since those cited by Eric
as its influences until the calls virtuoses, as It goes, Satriani, Malmsteen
and others, and also including people as Pat Metheny, the Duo Acoustic
Alchemy, Alex de Grassi, Will Ackerman, (already the deceased one) Michael
Hedges and too much artists of the stamp Windham Hill Records. I will dare
to still include the fans of the Gandalf Austrian. The Unstruck Melody is
grateful and agradabilissima surprise in music substance!
