Atmospheric elements are blended with powerful guitar riffs and orchestral passages.<br>At the start, I have to get used to the vocals\/spoken words, which sometimes sound distorted, and the occasionally gritty sound of the music. But it suits the lyrics. The vocals and music are fairly calm at first, with more rock elements coming in on the third track. The atmosphere shifts (even within a single track) from surreal\/dreamy to frantic. There are countless remarkable twists in the vocals and music.<br>\u2018Nothing But\u2019 is a highly varied epic. The vocals are calm one moment, inspiring the next. I am regularly moved by the vocals and music.<br>This is also the case in \u2018The Mirror &#8211; No Soul\u2019, particularly due to the combination of accompanying guitar playing with piano sounds. Even if you didn\u2019t understand a word of English, you would still feel the emotion in the vocals.<br>\u2018The Question &#8211; We Are Going Home\u2019 is a beautifully composed duet, in which light classical elements are interwoven with frantic music. All tracks are complex and carefully arranged.<br>\u2018Eternal Mistake\u2019 is a very diverse and special album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(8\/10) (Self-released)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxazine.nl\/2026\/05\/30\/album-recensie-overzicht-kurt-vile-all-them-witches-en-meer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"59\" data-attachment-id=\"8382\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/rock\/paul-numi-parallel-lives\/attachment\/maxazine_2022\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"217,59\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Maxazine_2022\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?fit=217%2C59&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kessel-tamerus.nl\/Esthers_Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maxazine_2022.png?resize=217%2C59&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8382\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dN0pBgjWy2Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=nl-NL&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=RDdN0pBgjWy2Y\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tracklist<\/strong><br>01 &#8211; The Regrets &#8211; Lara Is Your Name &#8211; 06:40<br>02 &#8211; Don&#8217;t Knock On The Door &#8211; 05:09<br>03 &#8211; I&#8217;m Not On Your Side &#8211; 04:35<br>04 &#8211; Nothing But &#8211; 10:09<br>05 &#8211; The Mirror &#8211; No Soul &#8211; 08:22<br>06 &#8211; Eternal Mistake &#8211; 04:42<br>07 &#8211; The Question &#8211; We Are Going Home &#8211; 05:59<br>08 &#8211; HERO &#8211; 09:45<br>09 &#8211; Passing Away &#8211; 05:46<br>10 &#8211; No Fucking Way &#8211; 02:412:41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Line up<\/strong>:<br>Daniele Giovannoni: Drums, Keyboards, Backing Vocals<br>Valerio Sgargi: Vocals, Keyboards, Guitars<br>Alex Massari: Guitars<br>Alessandro Cefal\u00ec: Bass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Guest Musicians<\/strong>:<br>Adam Holzman: Electric Piano, Acoustic Piano, and Moog Solo on \u201cHero\u201d<br>Randy McStine: Guitar Solo on \u201cNothing But\u201d<br>Susanna Brigatti: Vocals on \u201cWe Are Going Home\u201d<br>Gabriele Giovannoni: Voice Over on \u201cThe Reg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Eternal Mistake\u2019 is a love story and philosophical reflection centred on a relationship between a human and a humanoid.
