| Comments:
We are at the end of 2004, after many revelations around the last months here is a very special Band. Wicked Mind can be considered as a real, brilliant and an original Hard Rock band with a qualitative Progressive Rock edge, based around many influences from the glorious sounds of the years 70. The Band´s music shows a powerful feelings, with strong arrangements where each song has a special ingredient, providing a vibrant and positive message, their compositions feature emotive vocals, with a dynamic instrumental, in special, the wonderful and intensive guitar sounds, but the main highlights are around the keyboards arrangements, using Hammond Organ, Electric & Grand Piano, Mellotron, Moog Synthesizers, Paolo Negri create a true atmosphere only found in the old and famous bands, the drums and bass complements a magnificent rhythm section. If you need some musical references, then let´s take the power of "Uriah Heep" and "Deep Purple" with the aural journey of the "Pink Floyd" them we will have Wicked Minds. Fantastic, brilliant and an indispensable work, highly recommendable... The

MINDS
 The
band, formed in 1987 by Lucio Caligari (guitar), Enrico Grilli (bass) and
Andrea Concarotti (drums), developed its sound during the years, beginning
as a thrash quartet, passing through the hard-psychedelic trio experience
and approching its final lay out in 2003 as a hard-progressive combo. The
coming, in 2000, of Paolo "Apollo" Negri (Hammond organ) and, in 2003,
of J.C. (singer), led the band to discover new musical fields. Many influences
are brought into the sound by the different musicians: the heaviness of
Lucio's riffs fits perfectly with the more classical echoes of Paolo allowing
J.C. to develope all of his talent and versatility; the rocky rhythm section
give to this musical picture the final touch.

the Italian W-Records. The same label has produced, three years after this
first chapter, a limited edition vynil that picture the band's evolution,
"Crazy technicolor delirium garden". In 2004 the Black Widow Records came
out with the astonisching "From The Purple Skies", the definitive
point of landing. This album is the result of many years spended looking
for the perfect sound, the point where all the influences are combined
together to create something new.
