Ivan Graziani's 1991 album Cicli e tricicli diverges from his signature energetic rock sound in favor of a more intimate and melodic style.

Although this album is regarded as a minor misstep, Graziani's previous and subsequent works maintain his artistic stature. Discover Ivan Graziani’s unique blend of intimate storytelling and melodic sound on Cicli e tricicli—listen now and explore his evolving artistry!
The album is edgy, dynamic, excellently arranged, and brilliantly played. ‘My Empty Head’ is, in my opinion, the best track: a very acid start, then an understated first part, well-blended chords, almost jazzy...
