Alessandro Cortini (Blindoldfreak, Sonoio, Skarn, & other projects)

[zecho]

He stated on twitter that there would be a new Sonoio record before the end of the year. That makes FOUR Alessandro records this year if it happens. Amazing.

I only know of Forse 1 and Sonoio. What are the other two?

Forse 2 and 3.

Even though the new NIN tour starts tomorrow and the new album is out in about a month, there is still other music.
One of these other musics is the new solo project by Alessandro Cortini, Forse 1.


If you like his other solo project, SONOIO, you'll probably like this and, if you don't like SONOIO...well, this is enough NOT like it that you still might enjoy it.


Here's my review:
Alessandro Cortini's Forse 1

[butter_hole]

I can't comment on the review, I just wanna say congrats on actually sustaining a blog for 10+ years.

[jmtd]

Thanks for sharing!

I was surprised there wasn't a dedicated Cortini thread already, so I hereby suggest we use the Sonoio one:

I was quite amused to spot "WOP-1" on his flight case in this pic

Forse 2: Due out September 24, 2013.

Tracklisting:

1. Scappa ("Escape")
2. Scotta ("Sheet")
3. Matta ("Crazy")
4. Macchia ("Stain")
5. Ritorna ("Return")

Forse 1 blew me away, so I really can't wait for this one.

NINE DAYS

[orestes]

Yesssssssss.

Will this be a double-vinyl issue too?

[TinDefacto]

From the info here, it looks like not.

Also, what looks to be the album art:

According to the Important Records twitter/tumblr this is the album cover.

[SIR.LONDONCLEANLILY]

I have an extra copy each of the red and blue albums if anyone wants to buy them off me. Topspin sent me my order twice. This was the first mistake that they have ever made in someones favor I am sure. haha

[Al_Hunter]

@SIR.LONDONCLEANLILY :

Prepared to ship overseas? If so, how much would you want?

[TinDefacto]

According to the Important Records twitter/tumblr this is the album cover.

Ah, missed that. I like it much better.

Haha that looks like my avatar.

[TinDefacto]

Ah, so apparently the release isn't today. Someone asked Alessandro on Twitter and he replied: "I literally just approved the vinyl test pressings, so it'll be a little longer before they're ready to go..."

[orestes]

Fine by me because I'm still getting acquainted with Forse 1.

[RJK]

New song from Forse 2.

YESSSSS

November!

Edit: Interesting; none of the tracklistings posted on any of the sites I saw listed "Canta".

[fillow]

Does anyone know if a studio version of MWM song Home exist?

[orestes]

Not that I'm aware of, no.

[fillow]

Upon closer inspection, the song turned out to be a (live) Depeche Mode cover. Which I didn't recognize as I'm not a big fan of Gore-led DM songs and rarely ever listen to them.

[Charmingly Miserable]

Ok. So I'm a little late in the game but Forse 1 is amazing.

[orestes]

Yeah, I keep going back to "Gira" because it's amazing.

[BenAkenobi]

This new music by Alessandro reminded me: i ordered a Modwheelmood CD 7 months ago, still nothing
<leaving this here because somehow complaining on internet seems to magically help sometimes>

[Mutilated]

Are these Forse releases available on CD, or worst case scenario, a lossless download?

Once the three records are released they plan to do a cd boxset.

Which album and where did you order it?

[BenAkenobi]

Pearls to pigs, discogs.com

[TinDefacto]

So is blindoldfreak's 1 kinda like a Forse 0​ then?

[orestes]

Thematically, no but I can see why you would make the connection.
