After receiving numerous awards for the previous live album "Rings of earthly ... Live" of 2018 we have decided to complete this live path with a new album, which contains mainly the acoustic performances of Ancient Veil, then the versions performed in concert in trio, with the inclusion of some particular songs with the full band. The CD therefore collects eleven pieces performed live in three different concerts. Seven pieces are performed in an acoustic trio composed by Alessandro Serri, Edmondo Romano and Fabio Serri, while four pieces are performed with the whole band, together with Massimo Palermo on bass and Marco Fuliano on drums. Particular are the portion of the Rings of earthly light suite in an unplugged version revisited in the structure and arrangement and the presence of three unreleased songs: A clouded mind poignant instrumental, Return to the past song that Alessandro Serri had composed for one of the very first Eris Pluvia formations and rarely performed live in 1988/89 and You'll become rain part two recorded with the band. This is a 1991 composition written by Serri and Romano at that time and brought into concert during the only tour made in those years and never stopped on record except in a particular version for string quartet recorded by Ancient Veil in 1995 in 'homonymous CD. The video made live at “La Casa di Alex” in Milan will soon be out. The Ancient Veil are a consolidated line-up composed by Alessandro Serri (guitars, vocals), Edmondo Romano (soprano sax, straight flutes, clarinet, low whistle), Fabio Serri (piano and keyboards), Massimo Palermo (bass), Marco Fuliano (drums ). The live was recorded during two concerts made at La Claque in Genoa which took place on 12 May and 11 November 2017 in acoustic formation completed by the presence of Marco Gnecco at the oboe and on 19 January 2019 at La casa di Alex in Milan with the full band. The CD is produced by Massimiliano Bet, by Lizard Records and in collaboration with Eden Production. The mix was curated by Edmondo Romano and Simone Carbone, live footage by Massimo Calcagno and Patrick Simonetti. The oil painting on the cover is titled "Vertigine" and like those present in the booklet, they are all made by the painter Francesca Ghizzardi, a distinguishable sign of all the works of the Ancient Veil.
