Digitally remastered edition of this 2011 live album. Started as a one-man studio project in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra before evolving then into a full band, Nosound inventively combines influences from ’70s psychedelia, ’80s/’90s ambient, soundtracks, contemporary alternative and post-rock. The music is evocative and intense with personal songwriting and uses a variety of vintage and modern electronic instruments. Influences range from Pink Floyd to Brian Eno, from Radiohead to Sigur Ros, passing through rock and electronic music. The album was recorded during the rehearsal process for a special one-off Nosound solo gig that Erra performed in London in August 2010. For this intimate gig, Giancarlo created new track arrangements along with a new live setup that allowed him to play keyboards and/or acoustic guitar while singing as well as using and recreating all the original sounds and effects from the original studio albums. No backing tracks were used, only loops/tapes and real live played instruments. The tracks were recorded straight from stereo outputs with no overdubs or edits involved resulting in unique and personal interpretations of the best tracks from the band’s catalogue.

The new album from Nosound, ‘Allow Yourself’, is a new expression from the group who have grown alongside their evolving and borderless label Kscope. The new material is a stripping back of what has come before, and its inspirations are in a different field altogether, based on founder and songwriter Giancarlo Erra’s own shifting interests. “Time has arrived for a radical change towards an alternative and electronic direction, being the music I have enjoyed the most in recent years.”

NoSound – A Sense Of Loss (2009) [Audio-DVD]

NoSound – A Sense Of Loss
Artist: NoSound | Album: A Sense Of Loss | Style: Art Rock, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic, Ambient | Year: 2009 | Quality: DTS 5.1 48kHz/24Bit, Dolby AC3 5.1 48kHz/16Bit, PCM 2.0 48kHz/24Bit | Bitrate: ~448-1510 kbps | Tracks: 7 | Size: ~4.35 Gb | Recovery: 3% | Covers: in archive | Release: Kscope ‎(KSCOPE139), 2009

Pop-rock doesn’t necessarily have to rock to be effective. There are some pop-rock artists who would rather float, which is what Italian guitarist/keyboardist Giancarlo Erra’s group Nosound usually does on A Sense of Loss. This 2009 release is best described as a mixture of alternative pop-rock, art rock and progressive rock, with a strong ambient electronica influence. Moody, atmospheric items such as “Tender Claim,” “Constant Contrast,” “Some Warmth Into This Chill” and “My Apology” underscore Nosound’s desire to float rather than rock, and that approach yields appealing and very listenable results. No one will accuse A Sense of Loss of being the happiest release of 2009; a dark, brooding, melancholy outlook prevails throughout the album. Of course, Italy has given us a lot of happy music over the years–happy romantic crooners from Napoli, happy dance-pop and house music from Milano and Roma–but the word “happy” never applies on A Sense of Loss. Even the title itself lets you know that feel-good escapism is not on Nosound’s menu. But musically, Erra finds a lot of beauty in his melancholia, drawing on influences that include Pink Floyd, Brian Eno (a seminal figure in the development of ambient electronica), Tangerine Dream, Porcupine Tree and Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark (OMD). And for those who realize that music doesn’t have to push the smile button in order to be worthwhile, it is obvious that Erra and his colleagues have a lot going for them–not only a highly attractive sound, but also, a talent for craftsmanship. Nosound’s darker emotions serve them consistently well on A Sense of Loss. (more…)
