Thomas Gelfer An incredible album full of musical mysteries that make my heart race. Everyone involved sounds truly inspired and there's a real sense that this music is more than the sum of its parts. The 9th Wave is not only a wonderful song but it also led me to find one of my all time favorite paintings as well. In my top 3 favorite albums of the year so far. Favorite track: La Nona Onda.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This new release from Italy is exactly my cup of tea. It's awesome! It's splendid! It's a thousand other good things. The merits of Paolo "Ske" Botta as a composer are already widely know among fans of avantgarde rock, and also well documented on his first solo album "1000 autunni", released in 2011. This music really paves new creative paths in contemporary rock music. Favorite track: Insolubilia III.

about

SKE is the "solo" project of Paolo "SKE" Botta, italian keyboards player who also plays in many bands, most notably Yugen and Not a Good Sign. In 2011 the debut album "1000 Autunni" was released on AltrOck/Fading Records, and features mostly Yugen musicians. The style can be described as 70s Symphonic Prog meets Avant/RIO and Canterbury. The album received great critical acclaim and went quickly out of print, to be eventually reprinted in 2018 as "1001 Autunni", with an additional live CD.
The new studio album "Insolubilia" is still produced by Marcello Marinone. It is a dense and heavily layered album, inspired by brain teasers and paradoxes. Despite this, it has a distinctive melodic approach that should help the listener to avoid “getting lost” into the sonic labyrinth. With echoes by bands such as Gentle Giant, Änglagård, Universe Zero or JLF Ledesma among others, the album main opus “Insolubilia” is a 5 part variation of several recurring themes, that benefits of a very extensive musical palette, provided by 25 musicians.
