First album for the Italian band formed by ex-The Watch Ettore Salati and Fabio Mancini. The music is new and unique even if it draws from the 70’s with veins of Progressive Jazz, classical music, psychedelia. An album full of melodic virtuosity and arrangements that bring out the talent of the individual elements of the band.
\nUpside down, downside up, from the body to the brain and back… The engine of soul guides you through an odd journey.<\/p>\n
“Mind Colours” are the nuances of everyone of us, nuances to be pointed out through art, music in particular. Being music an abstract art, the colours of the mind are the abstract experiences found during this journey: the tunes of “Mind Colours” are intended to be capable to let you explore inside yourself and to use this experiences outside, in our daylife.<\/p>\n
So is it psychedelia? No, it’s not, it’s progressive rock!<\/p>\n
Or, so to say, “it’s more permessive than progressive”… And SoulenginE’s first release is full of different influences which the band blends in an unique way, developing an uncompromising style and sound: you can find the best of 70’s progressive rock blended with jazz, classical music, fusion, psychedelia.<\/p>\n
Everything in “Mind Colours” is enriched by gorgeous arrangements and virtuosisim, and melody is the leit motiv for the whole album.<\/p>\n
How was the album born? Ettore Salati and Fabio Mancini worked together for years in another international progressive rock band, The Watch, and they shared many important experiences, like the “Vacuum tour” which brought them to play live all over the world and in international progressive festivals, and recording the albums “Vacuum”, “Live Bootleg” and “Primitive”. In two different moments, both left the band and started to work on original compositions.<\/p>\n
