'Rade' is an unexpected arrival, like a beam of sunlight during the rainy season. Paolo Angeli's latest discographical synthesis comes a year after his critically-acclaimed album 'Jar'a.' If the latter was a contemplation inside the most ancestral Sardinia, with 'Rade,' the Sardinian musician changes course, openly confronting the Mediterranean in a navigation that takes us to the mixed race atmosphere of Mare Nostrum 's ports. The compositions come from utopic crossroads, dreamlike landscapes, sketched with a fountain pen, places sheltered from the storm's fury, that recall illusions and mirage.
