Hello everyone!
I see with pleasure that in this place I don't need to stir up things, as they're piping hot already and you guys always follow as well other sites :banana:
I'm sorry if I don't remember rules of the forum...is ok to stay on this topic now that preorders are open etc. or I should create another one?
Anyway in the meantime...let me first pretend to be 'professional' and post below the full ann and high quality cover (that I think sets very well the personal and new/unique character of the album), and some images of formats including the new t-shirts that I can't wait to get...and then I promise I'll reply to questions
@:
As usual I've done myself everything, helped obviously by the full band in terms of music, to keep that artistic coherence and true quality that's a characteristic of all our releases. As some of you know, my studio is now at really high level, in terms of acoustic control in my control room down to 30hz +-5db, 6 matched speakers plus redesigned acoustic treatments and full digital calibration as well, also for the headphones.
And that's why we agreed chopping some of our revenues from this release to have it on Blu-Ray, I did separate mixed and masters for cd, bluray and vinyl, and obviously surround, and who heard this album said production is just up there among the best albums out there..and I hope you'll all like it.
Please ask any question, and I'll try replying (if I receive email notifications that somehow at some point stop). And remember...on Monday check out on the net, first video/single is out and you should be able to appreciate already the production quality...and I can't exclude I might share here a surround flac...if you insist and you help us a bit spreading the word :violin

Monday 23rd first single/video release!
Nosound’s fifth album marks a major departure and includes guest appearances from
Anathema’s Vincent Cavanagh and acclaimed Italian singer Andrea Chimenti.
Inspired by personal upheaval and a desire for change, Scintilla is an emotionally complex and musically direct work presenting a stripped-down set of compositions that mark a major departure from Nosound’s trademark symphonic lushness and production precision.
After a decade of crafting a very particular type of widescreen melancholia and wistful imagery, Nosound’s fifth studio album Scintilla introduces a wholly new musical and visual approach for Giancarlo Erra’s ever-evolving band.
Anathema’s Vincent Cavanagh lends his distinctive vocals to two of the album’s tracks, and cellist Marianne De Chastelaine returns once more to the Nosound fold. Acclaimed Italian singer Andrea Chimenti co-writes and sings on the serene Sogno E Incendio.

1. Short Story (2:24)
2. Last Lunch (7:00)
