STEFANO CERATI's linernotes for Witchflower

“Witchflower” is a beautiful time machine. All you have to do is listen to the music, close your eyes and suddenly you find yourself taken back to London 1970.Prog, hard and psychedelic weren’t just newspapers terms, it was a real and alive way to feel the music on your skin. Wicked Minds can make us feel these timeless emotions again, can make us taste good riffs, lusting keyboards and horns arrangements. We can fly free on the wings of fantasy and imagination and still believe that today there are musicians that feel music with the heart, above all. It feels good to wake up in 2006 just to know that these feelings are still there and it is possible to reproduce them forever. It’s enough to press the button “play”. It’s important you know they are Italians, even though their ears and “wicked minds” were born in London. STEFANO CERATI
