amico di ieri An interesting instrumental album featuring a good mix of different sources of inspiration ranging from classical music to funky, rock and jazz. You can find here traces of psychedelia and space rock trips, strange purple doors opening on a desert storm, frenzied rhythmic passages and classical inspired piano rides, nervous organ waves and funky bass slaps, magmatic energies and romantic, reflectives moments... Favorite track: Kronia.

about

An original and dynamic experience, Black Ladder's self-titled debut album showcases the group's wide musical range and songwriting capabilities. From the drum and bass drive of "Through the Tunnel" to the gentle, contemplative melody of "Blue Elegy," "Black Ladder" offers something for everyone to enjoy. The rhythmic funk groove in "D.K." is offset by guest artist Dexter Weiss' soaring saxophone work, while guest Lisa Lamb's graceful Harp layers add elegance to the symphonic "Kronia." While it was recorded on a working band's budget, "Black Ladder" is a lively, well-produced album that is charming, loose and diverse. The album transcends preconceived notions of instrumental music, with compositions that allow listeners to define the music on their own terms.
