Info for Riff Tricks - The Instrumentals Vol. 1
Every mix brings a choice. Which solo to use? Which keyboard part of the many recorded? What´s the leading instrument for each song and its parts? Effects or not?
While the "main" Gizmodrome album was being mixed in Milan, all recorded music was sent to Hamburg, Germany, at Chameleon Studio. Local producer and engineer Eike Freese mixed the alternative instrumental versions on this EP without having listened to what had been used on the studio album nor what was the sound and the mood of the "main mixes".
The result is outstanding, the songs are shown from a totally different perspective from their album versions. Instruments originally suppose to sustain the songs have become the lead and without the presence of a vocal part, the joyous virtuosity can shine in all its glory.
For all progressive rock fans, these alternative versions will be an essential companion to the "official" album.
In addition this limited edition carries an exclusive pre-version of "Zubatta Cheve" as well as "Zombies In The Mall" sung by Raiz.
