Nosound: forthcoming things..


Nosound have announced that the long awaited reissue of their 2005 debut album Sol29 will be available on Kscope from 16th August 2010. The album has been out of print for almost two years, during which time it has become a collectible (and much requested!) piece. The album will be expanded to a 2disc set (CD + DVD) and will be packaged in a super jewel case with slipcase and feature new and revised artwork as well as the original photographic booklet.

The audio CD will feature completely new digitally restored and analogue mastered audio from the original 2005 album, plus three extra re-mastered tracks (clocking in at 78 minutes of music!).

The DVD features a brand new 10 minute video for Sol29, plus the original three ambient/experimental audio video tracks included on The World Is Outside DVD-R. As an extra for fans that missed the first release, the Kscope edition will also include all the original mixes of Sol29 as they were released on 2005 album version. This will be the final and official Sol29 release, collecting all the Nosound early studio material in one single release.

The band has already started work on their fourth studio album which will be released in 2011. Writing and recording sessions already started in UK, and will continue during the summer with the whole band recording in their brand new recording studio located on the hills around Rome.

Official website (and brand new Myspace) went in the meantime for some changes, using the new Nosound Soundcloud page to host all free audio streamings, and making all cleaner and tidier on the website and between the band's social pages you can reach from the top bar! Stay tuned for more news soon..Sol29 reissue coming very soon, Memories of Machines project with No-Man's Tim Bowness too, and new Nosound material is on the way too..

N O S O U N D - A Sense Of Loss - PRE-ORDER NOW!
a sense of loss The new studio album from Nosound

Formed in Italy in 2001, Giancarlo Erra's Nosound create a seductive and original fusion of elements of progressive, ambient and post rock. Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, A Sense Of Loss is their third album, the follow up to the 2008's Lightdark.

Lightdark was described by Classic Rock (UK) as 'more great stuff from new label Kscope' and A Sense Of Loss builds on this album by introducing alternative post rock songs to Nosound's ever evolving sound. Giancarlo describes the album as a 'move from the classic 'rock' (or rock ambient) approach used in Lightdark to a more unique sound, with influences from more contemporary alt and post rock.'

To create this sound the band used less synths (any that were used were almost all a strict selection of vintage synth sounds) and more real instruments including a string quartet, leading to 'an even more emotional recording than Lightdark. Erra goes on to state, 'The overall production and sound have moved to a more 'natural' overall sound, combined with some different sounds and approaches, a little far from Lightdark, but still distinctively Nosound (probably more now than before).'

The album was written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered at Nosound Studio (Rome) by Giancarlo Erra. Additional production was by Paolo Martellacci, Gigi Zito, Alessandro Luci, Paolo Vigliarolo. Additional recordings made at PanPot Studio (Rome) by Gigi Zito and Diapason Studio (Rome) by Simone Satta.

This 2 disc edition of the album includes a DVD containing 5.1 surround and 24bit mixes of the album, alternative 'long guitar solo' version of Fading Silently, video and video footage, picture gallery and more. A video teaser for the album is now online at www.asenseofloss.com and the album is available to pre-order from the Kscope store and will ship from the end of October 2009. All orders placed through the Kscope store will receive a exclusive signed postcard.
