Dopo i lusinghieri risultati di One I Love , brano ripreso da Blacklady Kiss della cult band Jacula, inserito nell'album Pre Viam, la vocalist NORA DEI torna sul campo di battaglia con l'ambizioso progetto Epitaph, brano composto all'epoca dagli avanguardisti Fripp, Lake & company, alias King Crimson.
Il Nora Dei remake andra' a far parte dell'album (forma fisica e digitale) dell'artista sigillato come "Gothic Trance", prodotto dal team Musik Research e previsto per il 12-12-12. Le tastiere di Epitaph e l'intera produzione in studio e artistica, sono opera del musicista Rexanthony che fra un rave olandese e un tour in Inghilterra, ha trovato il tempo per realizzare Epitaph, inciderlo, dirigere la voce dell'artista e crearne tutti gli arrangiamenti ad hoc.
Epitaph è una scelta più che coraggiosa che emozionerà tutti i sostenitori sine die del "progressive" più puro; il risultato e' un singolo all'altezza del mito..
Esistono molti rmx and remakes di Epitaph, alcuni molto interessanti fra i quali Kirlian Camera, Fern Knight, In The Woods ...., ma questo di Nora Dei e' effettivamente molto coinvolgente.
Ogni nota al posto giusto, la voce dell'artista e' sempre creativamente modulata, ogni intervento di tastiere e piano notevole: pittoriche le chitarre acustiche e non da meno quelle heavy tipicamente ritmiche. Con Epitaph remake ci si immerge nel sogno mitico e ancora terribile ...... un viaggio nella CONFUSION resa tale dai contrasti sociali del 1969 che i King Crimson, unici, avevano gia' saputo evidenziare (...the wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams .... the fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools ... ) contrasti ancora drammaticamente attuali. E' una versione definibile progressive con contaminazioni gothic, dark, anche quando le ambientazioni sono illusoriamente celestiali.

After the gratifying results of the single 'One I Love' (version of the song 'Blacklady Kiss' from the album Pre Viam by cult band Jacula), vocalist NORA DEI returns to centre stage with the ambitious project 'Epitaph', the song by avant-garde Fripp, Lake & Company, a.k.a. King Crimson.
Nora Dei's remake can be found on the "Gothic Trance" artist's upcoming album (digital format), produced by Musik Research and scheduled for release on 12-12-12. The entire studio and artistic production of 'Epitaph' including the keyboards are the work of musician Rexanthony, who has found time between a Dutch rave and UK tour to make 'Epitaph', recording it, directing the singer, and authoring all the arrangements.
'Epitaph' is a courageous album, one which will thrill all the purest "progressive" fans; the result is a single of epic proportions…
While there are numerous remakes and remixes of Epitaph, some quite interesting, including those by Kirlian Camera, Fern Knight, and In The Woods…, Nora Dei's version is truly compelling.
Each note is perfect pitch; the artist's voice is always creatively modulated and every keyboard and piano phrase significant. The acoustic guitars are gorgeous, as are the typically strong rhythms. With this 'Epitaph' remake, you sink into a mythical and tremendous dream … a journey into the CONFUSION generated by the social conflict of 1969 which only King Crimson knew how to highlight (...the wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams .... the fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools ...) a conflict which is even more dramatic today. It is a progressive version with gothic dark influences, even when the setting is deceptively heavenly.
