1) "If your a fan of DEEP PURPLE or URIAH HEEP,or if you love floods of hammond organ,have i got a band for you.WICKED MINDS from Italy use the vintage instruments of the seventies,have an outstanding guitarist in Lucio Calegari,a singer who sings in english and sounds so much like the the late David Byron(former singer for URIAH HEEP).It took me a long time to track down this album,but was it ever worth it!The first track "From the Purple Skies" starts out spacey,but is soon dominated by the hammond organ,a guitar and organ solo follow.This sounds like it came right out of the seventies."Drifting" as the title suggests is dreamy with some wonderful flute."Across the Sunrise" begins with mellotron followed by drums and organ ,then a nice soaring extended guitar solo,that turns into a riff,joined by the drums.Vocals don't come in until after 4 minutes."Forever My Queen" is sung by the lead guitarist and is a heavy,SABBATH-like song."Rising Above" has a DOORS sound to the organ,a real 60's sound."Space Child" is dedicated to Lucio's two children.Almost sounds like a DEEP PURPLE song.Overall it's pretty mellow,soft vocals,lot's of flute."Gypsy" sounds like Jon Lord on the organ,Infectious beat to this one.The last song,the epic at over 18 minutes in length and the best song title i've seen in a long time is called "Return to Uranus".This song has lot's of time changes,some psychedelic guitar playing,as well as an awesome Gilmour-like guitar solo.Lot's of organ,flute,just a monster song from the purple skies!Highly recommended,if there was any doubt."
