This album catapults me into the air... but not with a kick in the rear... it’s like going up, you know, in a hot air balloon??? Yes, just like that...

Jim O'Rourke: “In these recordings, you can clearly perceive a necessity that is rarely found in music: a moment in which you can truly feel an artist in real contact with himself. Luciano Cilio captures that moment suspended in time, like a genuine emotional testament, something to hold dear”

The intro of this album is something I will never forget. Those scattered notes that come together into a melody are one of the most intense things I’ve ever heard.
