Antonello Salis, piano e accordion
Paolo Angeli, prepared Sardinia guitar

“…Angeli can assume the guise of a drummer, conjure up a phantom bassist, pick out folky melodies, vamp in arch jazz style, whisk up scratchy improv clusters or generate gusts of prog rock noise. (…) Salis is extrovert, his restless energies bursting through layers of ingrained concert hall classicism, jazz accents and liaisons with popular song (…) On one track their musical allusiveness crystallises into a rendition of Ennio Morricone’s “A Fistful Of Dollars”, on the next a version of Lennon & McCartney’s “Mother Nature’s Son”. Angeli and Salis were having fun on these occasions, and it is resoundingly communicated through the music’s high-spirited roaming…” The Wire, UK, Julian Cowley (nov.2004)
