SormoRock has been conceived as a <span style="font-weight: bold;">live
band</span>, believing that the best way to appreciate good music is
going at a live concert, the idea of spending time in a studio has
never been part of the project.<br>
However in 2012, after a year together, SormoRock decided to gather
into Igor Sciavolino's studio to record a selection of their material
and immortalize the sound they had on stage at the time, a sound that,
as always in a true live band, had changed over the course of that year
and was going to change again in the following months.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

The album, almost completely recorded live in the studio and also
containing remastered versions of the 2011 Infernotti tracks, provides the listener a faithful
account on how the band sounded at the time and an hint toward the
live experience it can provide. It is also a must have for the Procol
Harum fan, containing takes on popular Procol Harum songs,
including a three verse A Whiter Shade of Pale with an astounding
saxophone solo and a very special version of the immortal instrumental
Repent Walpurgis.<br>
<br>
On the whole album, as at times live, is featured on saxes
and flute the great jazz player Alfredo Ponissi, now in an unusual
"rock mode".<br>
<br>

These are a few video made during the recording of the album. Sound quality is
much inferior to the one available on the album, but the playing it's all
there.<br>

The title track of the album, a Jack Ponissi psychedelic song vaguely
arranged in the vein of A Whiter Shade of Pale.<br>

The immortal Pocol Harum first hit executed live just like it should be
done&#8230;But with a couple of surprises!<br>

Very faithful to the original Procol Harum take on their second single,
the SormoRock version features some lively piano from Cristina Ramat
and a tasty flute arrangement from Alfredo Ponissi.<br>

The classical, often overlooked, Procol Harum sea song is given a first
live SormoRock airing during the Infernotti RoundAboutTheVoice event in
2011, shortly after the band got together for the first time. Alfredo Ponissi opens the
performance with a poetry he had written many years ago while listening
to the song.<br>

Conquistador, the Edmonton '71 orchestral single, brought back to a
basic five piece sound&#8230;Well, seven piece if you wish!<br>
