Andrea Milana's Something of Mine is a particularly inventive album on so many levels. Here we have Andrea Milana investigating and exploring all kinds of themes from the futility of war in I'm not a soldier, to the utterly fantastic collage that is The Wings of Freedom with it's unique delivery of meandering slide acoustic supporting Jean Michael Jarre reminiscent symphonia which we have played about two dozen times so far! Something of Mine is a temptingly brilliant cohersion between steady beat supported piano, delightfully skilled bass work, and the Milana blessing of melody and ingenuity all blended into one very fine piece of instrumental work. The thing that makes Andrea Milana a frontier artist is his almost stubborn insistance that everything should be right for the right reasons when he really could have just put his elbow on the keys and made the album shine! What I like about Ghosts of the Past is the catalog of sounds that have been assembled so brilliantly it makes you marvel at the technical wizardy in the sound engineering and production alone. Without Destination, on the hand, is a brilliant rhythmic adventure in strong compostion with the kind of informed electronica you'd normally have accompanied by lasers and mirrors and plasma screens and such. Hope at Dawn is one of those tracks that makes your attention span ridiculously wide as you follow the notes all over the place and right into some kind of chasm of supersounds! Andrea Milana's 'Something of Mine' is excellence at whatever level you're residing on and one of the wiest things you can do right now is to make immediate arrangements to have this album holding pride of place on the better half of your CD shelf!
