ELECTRIC SWAN was recorded in January/May 2008 at Mofo studio (Piacenza-Italy) by my old friend MARCO GANDOLFI that produces the work for BAD CHILI RECORDS,a young indie label at its third release,distribuited worldwide from Black Widow records.It's a collection of new songs(some instrumental),2 ten years-old wicked minds tracks never recorded before, and 3 covers:Tommy Bolin's "Teaser",Ruth Copeland's"Your love been so good to me" and Hetfield-Ulrich-Hammett-Burton's surprise. In this records I'm trying to paint the feelings and the dreams when I play guitar with a little help from my friends: Paolo "Apollo" Negri on Hammond and synths,Ricky Lovotti on drums,Enrico"Deep" Garilli and Edoardo Giovanelli on bass on some tracks and the wonderful voices from Sophya Baccini (Presence) and Luca "Mitch" Rancati(Tough).
