Picchio dal Pozzo

"Two apparently different stories meet and, as it happens in these cases, random occasions create a new one.

Picchio dal Pozzo and Yûgen both belong to "borderline" music which, due to its own nature, is really hard to label and perhaps therefore, more fascinating.

In March 2007 Picchio dal Pozzo and Yûgen meet for the first time in Genoa. PdP has a very long history, with four albums and a large experience on it's shoulders. Yûgen has published his first cd only some months ago and having now the first live approach.

Picchio dal Pozzo + Yûgen.

Certainly the matching is not accidental, because both groups lived directly (PdP) or recover (Yûgen) Rock in Opposition's message; and more: each one, in its own way, filters and gives a different interpretation of contemporary music, progressive rock, improvisation, Frank Zappa and goodness knows what.

What could we expect from such an union? Surely they'll move heaven and earth - music without frontiers and, why not?, a certain way of "entertainment" outside the rules.

This CD offers the recordings of a concert which took place on the 16th of November 2008 closing AltrOck Festival 2008. It was the first PdP + Yûgen live exhibition (if you exclude an incursion of PdP on stage during AltrOck Fest 2007 for a Uccellin dal bosco by surprise). Here we recollected not only the songs from the first PdP album, but also Uccellin, Adriatico, with Demetrio Stratos's voice, and an unreleased song, Lindbergh."-AltRock
