Alberto Rigoni
"Something Different"
www.albertorigoni.net
Italian bassist Alberto Rigoni has obviously worked very hard on
his first solo release, "Something Different". The first thing
that struck me was the range of styles covered here... Super
saturated solo bass pieces, Early Genesis like Prog-rock, quirky funk
with a sense of humor and hard driving distortion laden Tool-like riffs
abound, each song is it's own entity. Alberto obviously has a
good sense of humor and each track displays some very musical
sensibilities. While some tracks really bring you in and make you
listen, others just make you laugh out loud and there's nothing wrong
with that! While there is an "epic" vibe to many of the pieces,
it never comes across as pretentious.
