<p>As usual, they are personally enhanced, since I love to tribute their beauty this way.</p>
<p>Here they are for you, hope you enjoy them:</p>

<p>They also wrote some kind words about it (thank you guys!).</p>
<p>If they recommend it, so do I.</p>

<p>I believe there's a strong evolution there, and those who listened to it told me the same.</p>
<p>The song is on a private Soundcloud link for now, it's being auditioned by fellow musicians, labels and people in general connected with me and/or with the music business.</p>
<p>I'm also working on new material for a new album: one other song almost ready to get to the studio, and other ones still in the process.</p>
<p>The new stuff is sort of more intense and rough, a little darker but sharp and full of energy, and with very different vocals on it.</p>
<p>I think I'm gonna really enjoy this new 2018 transition...</p>

And here we are, at Enri Zavalloni's Atomic Studio in Longiano, melting our personalities into this wonderfully poetic Bowie's song, trying to give it a new fresh shape and blending in the biggest <em>Thank you!</em> we can express in music to him.<br>I'm not giving away the title of the song right now, I'd like it to be surprising somehow...<br>As you might have seen with <em>Swing </em>by Japan, I like to produce highly elaborated cover versions, so stay in touch...<br><br><span style="color:#0000CD;">Le registrazioni del mio nuovo EP di 4 pezzi procedono bene: le tracce musicali sono pronte, a breve registrerò le parti vocali.<br>Ma c'è una bellissima novità per me e credo anche per voi: il mio caro amico e coautore di <em>Rotor</em> Oscar Tolve si è unito a me per arrangiare e registrare un tributo al grande David Bowie, una cover di uno dei suoi brani maggiormente ignorati oggi.<br>Dopo la scioccante notizia della morte di Bowie lo scorso gennaio, cominciai a suonare una versione molto personale di uno dei suoi pezzi più belli e, secondo me, anche tra i più dimenticati, un brano che appartiene all'ultimo periodo anni 80, tratto, inoltre, dal primo album di Bowie che io abbia mai comprato.<br>Per una strana coincidenza, quando tempo dopo incontrai il mio amico Oscar, mi raccontò durante una conversazione che stava pensando, tra sé e sé, di arrangiare una cover dello stesso brano!!<br>Ho preso questa rivelazione come un segno che questa cosa doveva essere fatta... Ed eccoci qui, all'Atomic Studio di Enri Zavalloni a Longiano a cercare di fondere le nostre personalità dentro questo pezzo di Bowie così poetico e meraviglioso, con l'intenzione di dargli una forma nuova e fresca e di instillarci il più grande "grazie" che riusciamo ad esprimere in musica.<br>Non voglio rivelare per ora quale pezzo sia, preferisco sia una sorpresa...<br>Come avrete visto per <em>Swing</em> dei Japan, io amo creare cover piuttosto elaborate, quindi restate in contatto...</span><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/128985/33d7e71fc83458330a35b9671dc1107e91ae18f6/original/img-1725.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/128985/52e5ec5280f1e50a1311fe70f0e6a71879ba8b0b/original/img-1727.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

<span style="color:#0000CD;">Ciao a tutti!! ... <em>*leggera eco da stanzone vuoto*</em>...</span><br> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#0000CD;">Sto finendo di arrangiare 5 nuovi brani originali che presto andrò a registrare nel fantastico <em>Atomic Studio</em> e che pubblicherò come nuovo EP ad inizio 2016 (inizialmente in versione digitale, poi si vedrà).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#0000CD;">In realtà uno di questi brani è già qui nella sezione musica in una versione pre-master, si chiama <em>Waste no time</em>, ma verrà rifinito e migliorato con il resto del lavoro in studio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#0000CD;">Gli altri 4 pezzi saranno pieni di roba elettronica, chitarroni caldi e parti vocali intense: li definirei perlomeno "sorprendenti"...</span></div>
