TESTING VAULT (PHANTASMAGORIA)'s Friend Space (Top 40)
After their great debut release "Fantasia Meccanica", the italian act HIDDEN PLACE return with an all new and long-expected album! "PUNTO LUCE" continues along the same pathtraced by its predecessor. Deep sonorities are alternated with moments of emotionalism and refinement, underlined above all by more atmospheric sounds, that constantly influence this album. Harmonious female vocals from the beautiful singer Sara Lux are opposed with the cold tones of the vocoder. An elegant mix of electro and new wave give a precise evocation of art, of the painting of a picture, of the beauty of colours and light.
The album also features vocal and mixing contributions from Gaby Nekro of NEKRODAMUS.

Ti volevo fare anche i complimenti x "T.L.T.", me lo ha passato B. tempo fa', veramente bello....anche se posso ascoltarlo solo quando sono solo in casa (un giorno ti racconterò...............).
Dani! I've written you two previous messages on MySpace..........but each time just before I send my computer crashed!!! Maybe you have strange magic on your site!? Anyway.........how are you????? I haven't contacted you for ages. Did you like our "Stars" on the new BSP/Val album??? That's one of my favourites. I think our own version of "We are the Hydrogen" is the best version! BUT please don't mention this to the boys! Ahhhhhhhh! What are you working on? I am very exhausted. Today I worked on 4 self portraits.............phew............Gail has bought us some brandy..........I need it. Love from Yorkshire........... I kiss you. Val XXXX
