RadioIndy is pleased to present Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Terra Nocturne"
“Terra Nocturne” by Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers is a musical journey through many moods and emotions, highlighted by well-crafted songs, thoughtful arrangements and exceptional musicianship. Each piece is very symphonic and orchestral in nature, representing a single movement in the overall album, which is meant to be a cohesive and interrelated piece of music. The style of writing on this album draws a strong inspiration from the music of Pink Floyd. Listen to “Where Have You Gone” and “Let Go,” for great examples of this in both the songwriting and the smooth, mellow vocal style. While this influence is evident, this material is also very well-written and unique, being calm and psychedelic while also complex and elaborate at the same time. The album contains many sections where instruments are panned throughout the stereo spectrum, providing an entrancing listening experience through headphones. This release also features many excellent musical performances, from the skilled saxophone runs on “Sacred Moon’s Light” to the fine guitar work by Stokes on the title track “Terra Nocturne.” “Open Door” and “Across the Barrier” are of a more upbeat nature, with great performances by all involved. “Terra Nocturne” by Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers will be enjoyed by fans of rock music with the symphonic atmosphere of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters.

Il lavoro del “Maestro” Gabriele Bellini “Evolution” rappresenta l'ultima tappa di un viaggio fantastico nel mondo, onirico quanto reale, belliniano.
Per Bellini il concept di quest’album, così come per la trilogia, è:
"Prima una ricerca, un sogno, poi la realtà, la conoscenza, il futuro, il sopravvivere al futuro e di nuovo il presente che si ritrova nella sua sostanza e nella sua essenza, in una nuova dimensione. Perché quel fantastico, misterioso ed infinito universo che sta fuori ma anche dentro di noi, per evolversi ha bisogno delle stesse risposte."
Un disco che spazia tra i vari generi musicali rock, metal, classica, elettronica ethno e ambient con naturalezza perché concepito e realizzato da chi conosce la lingua universale della musica e ha dato vita ad un nuovo genere il ROCK EVOLUTION
15 brani da ascoltare ad alto volume!
Le chitarre sono vigorose e graffianti; il suono è sincero, potente, dirompente; è un disco suonato dalla prima all’ultima nota.
Evolution: distribuzione Lost Sound/Self e digitalmente Pirames International

Hi Lynn I'm just stopping by for a Sol Surfer 'fix' and to let you know I've stopped presenting my weekly Internet Radio Show on nessmp3 Radio as I want to start doing a regular webcast TV Show instead. It should go out on nessmp3 and The Artistic Freedom Collective Network (AFCollective) where I'm an administrator, and possibly myspace and will probably be called 'Maria's Music Hall'. I'm looking for good quality music videos, to play on it. The music quality being the important thing rather than the visuals.. but great if I can get both! :) I'd like to feature your vids as my current favourite band if that's ok? I can easily take them from youtube, myspace, etc. so no need for you to do anything. Btw, since you joined nessmp3, all the Radio presenters have played your tracks and gone searching for more and we've had fantastic responses from listeners in the Radio Chatroom. They all love your music.. as I knew they would! Well, lovely to listen to your music. Peace, Maria :)
