Vittorio Vandelli ' A Day of warm Rain in Heaven ' "Alone, alone on a wide wide sea ! and never a saint took pity on my soul in agony. I looked to heaven and tried to pray but or even a prayer had gusht, a wicked whisper came and made my heart as dry as dust. Since then, at an uncertain hour, that agony returns and till my ghastly tale is told, this heart within me burns." S.T. Coleridge CD digipack available from September 20th 2004 by Equilibrium Music - Portugal Vittorio Vandelli's first soloist album, 'A Day of warm Rain in Heaven', transposes into music the romantic opus of S.T. Coleridge, 'The rhyme of the ancient mariner', an odissey through sin, death and re-birth until the achievement of wisdom. The trip of the protagonist reflects Vittorio's existential experience, a spiritual experience that each of us could be called to live. The ability to sublimate all of this into music seems to be the only way to fight the tempest and survive the storming sea. Ambient tunes alternate with timeless ballads; short industrial moments precede ethereal compositions; soft-electronic episodes follow hypnotic lullabies and atmospheric airs introduce moving sonatas in his unique style. Vittorio felt the urge to follow the creative processus from the beginning to the end starting from the musical idea, passing through execution and finally reaching recording and mixing. This album features Francesca Nicoli on vocals who has been able to confer even more pathos and strenght to the music. Her vocal work is the result of a sudden enlightenment after the very first listening of the tracks.

LACUNA COIL frontwoman Cristina Scabbia and guitarist Cristiano Migliore have spoken to Billboard.com about their burgeoning success in the wake of the group's appearance at this year's Ozzfest festival. The group's latest Century Media album, "Comalies" (2002), has sold 147,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becoming the label's first release to break the 100,000 barrier. "We're really proud to be considered a breakout band, but I'm really scared about those names, because it's kind of like a bad luck thing," Scabbia told Billboard.com. "We try not to think about it. We're really easy-going people, so we don't want to act like rock stars, stuff like that. [We] just want to be satisfied with our music, we just want to enjoy what we do." Migliore says the band's post-Ozzfest plans include a return to Milan and some time off before beginning a new album. "We'll start working on the new stuff and hopefully we'll start [recording] in January or February so the album can be out by May," he says.
