Product Description
CD Description
THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM NOSOUND - 2 DISC (CD + 5.1 SURROUND MIX) Formed in Italy in 2001, Giancarlo Erra's Nosound creates a seductive and original fusion of elements of progressive, ambient and post rock. Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, ‘A Sense Of Loss’ is their third album, the follow up to the 2008’s ‘Lightdark’. ‘Lightdark’ was described Classic Rock (UK) as ‘more great stuff from new label Kscope’ and ‘A Sense Of Loss’ builds on this album by introducing alternative post rock songs to Nosound’s ever evolving sound. Giancarlo describes the album as a ‘move from the classic 'rock' or (or rock ambient) approach used in Lightdark to a more unique sound, with influences from more contemporary alt and post rock.’ This 2 disc edition of the album includes a DVD containing 5.1 surround and 24bit mixes of the album, video footage, picture gallery and more. Tracks: Some Warmth Into This Chill / Fading Silently / Tender Claim / My Apology / Constant Contrast / Winter Will Come

I bought this on a whim, It has the sort of album cover that would make you pick it up if you were browsing in a traditional record shop. It does have leanings towards Porcupines Trees more gentle and dreamy moments. The 5.1 mix on the DVD disc is fantastic with the music washing over you from every direction. The tracks do drift into each other but there is a real sense of disspapointment when it finishes.
The whole package is great, the packaging and artwork take you back to the days of pouring over an album cover as it played in the background. If you like Porcupine Tree, with a bit of floyd and long tracks where you can lose yourself and come out the other end feeling inspired then give this a go.

If you like Porcupine Tree in the mid-90's, when they sounded like Pink Floyd in the mid-70's, this might be music for you! Good meoldies, very relaxed, but at times also quite symphonic/bombastic. This italian band has changed the big keyboard landscapes with their own small orchestra this time. This version of the CD comes with a DVD, but that's really only interesting if you're allready a fan of this band... not so much extra material here (that you can't find on youtube, that is ;-) )

Stunning and Sublime
6 April 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Those familiar with today's progressive rock scene could not come away from hearing Nosound for the first time and not be stricken by how reminiscent of Porcupine Tree and No-Man the music is. And that is not a criticism, it is high praise. For despite all the superficial similarities, Italy's Nosound remains a band wedded to its own distinctive musical vision.
The industry blurb says that A Sense of Loss is Nosound's third album. Though I have been unable to obtain the first one for a reasonable price I have heard Lightdark and think that A Sense of Loss finds the band advancing rather than stagnating as often happens with all too many bands which are at a loss to match a previously strong effort. Advances here are both melodic and lyrical and the listener finds the splendid compositions to be stunning and sublime. There is not a song here I don't like, but if I was pressed to pick a favorite, Some Warmth In This Chill, Fading Silently and Winter Will Come would come out on top.
With this edition, the listener also gets a DVD containing some outstanding alternate mixes and visuals that help maintain the mood generated by the music. Additionally, there are a few other extras that don't add much to the experience, but neither do they detract. Also included is an attractive booklet containing pictures, lyrics, and album information. In other words, A Sense of Loss gives you a lavish package. Those who never hear Nosound are really missing an enriching aural experience. If you have not yet heard them and are a fan of the broad style of music made by Porcupine Tree, No-Man, and Blackfield, the time to know them is now.

A CD Overlooked
30 Oct 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I stumbled upon this cd because I got a magazine with the song "Some Warmth Into This Chill" on it. This was simply the best thing that could have happened.
Midline incorporates Pink Floyd and Radiohead ambience with soft-spoken vocals and soothing sounds. In my opinion this is one of the best CDs of 2009, and one of my favorite CDs of all time.
