When Reality Is Nothing

Back with his third solo album When Reality Is Nothing, Moonlight Comedy guitarist Simone Fiorletta takes the listener on a voyage through a myriad of rock guitar textures and expressions. Building upon the foundations laid by his two previous solo efforts ("Parallel Worlds", "My Secret Diary") Simone has come up with an album that shows a change in his approach to the instrument, with a more earthy texture and mature penmanship - yet all led by the luxurious guitar work that has earnt Simone a legion of fans. When Reality Is Nothing is a solid rock guitar album with each tracks inspiration coming from Simone's own personal experiences, mirroring his soul. Once again Simone is joined by keyboardist Andrea De Paoli, while the drum stool is largely occupied by Marco Aiello. To add further flavor to the album, Simone called upon special guests to add their own classy performances. One of instrumental guitar's leading authorities, Neil Zaza, provides a solo, while keyboard whiz Mistheria adds further keyboard flourishes. When Reality Is Nothing is an album that will appeal to fans of early albums from Joe Satriani ("The Extremist") and indeed those in Neil Zaza's substantial catalog. Simply said - an enthralling release for anyone with an interest in modern rock guitar.
