ANDREA SALINI – Lampo Gamma
ticketbus
I think most
of us in our family had an elder brother/sister or cousin that introduced us to
the music of rock or metal. Same is the story of the Italian guitarist Andrea
Salini who, through his elder brother, discovered his love for the electric
guitar and rock music. Actually this love for those things gave him the
motivation to realize his dream and become a professional guitar player and
composer.
It is
necessary to know, in order to understand the musical identity of Andrea that
he was born in the late 70’s, an era that rock music was strong and many
masterpieces were released back then and he grew in the 80’s listening to bands
like DIRE STRAITS and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. All these influences and experiences
have helped him to develop his musical identity which is obvious in this album.
So, in a few lines I can tell you that the compositions that are included in
“Lampo Gamma” is a mixture of 70’s and 80’s rock influences without though
losing their contemporary feeling. The guitar playing is very skillful, but
Andrea emphasizes on melodies and uses his technical abilities in order to give
to the songs more depth and variety without tiring the listener with pointless
show offs of his skills.
As for the
lyrical part of the compositions, I think that they have the themes that one
can expect from a classic rock release. They have to do with hope, dreams and
of course personal experiences.
In an era
that everyone tries to sound innovative or copy the past, Andrea Salini with
this release proves that you can still play some fine classic rock tunes and
sound fresh or even original. The album has 6 compositions from which one is a
very interesting and yet close to the original cover of the song “Bad Moon
Rising”.
