like bone on bone, or a heavy blow from a catapulted stone like a kick in the head from Mirko Cro Cop, i went down you could say i was shocked, that i was surprised as a man could be to say i was unprepared would be the understatement of the century and the ground began to rumble, with a thunderous sound and my senses began to tumble and i hit the ground your love it hit me, side on, side on i stumbled and moaned , i fumbled and groaned and i slowly rose, too scared to look and the ground still shook, i just stood there and froze i saw something move from the corner of my eye a fleeting glimpse between the earth and sky with the sound of a freight train rolling in my head a mixture of ecstasy and dread and the ground began to rumble, with a thunderous sound and my senses began to tumble and i hit the ground your love it hit me, your love it hit me side on, side on, side on........

the five-card draw hand held by James Butler Hickok (better known as "Wild Bill" Hickok) when he was shot in the back of the head by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876, in Nuttal & Mann's Saloon at Deadwood, Dakota Territory. Reportedly, Hickok's final hand included the aces and eights of both black suits.

about

"...after chasing a UFO
after years lost in Space
after crashing back on a mutated Earth
with 2167 hours of Flight History
now following his roots to find Comfort
ladies and gentlemen: Captain Mantell..."

Bliss eí il titolo del quinto album dei Captain Mantell,
power trio guidato da Tommaso Mantelli
(omonimo del Capitano Thomas Mantell,
primo pilota a morire inseguendo un UFO...).
Un lavoro ispirato alle radici del rock
che rappresenta un deciso punto di svolta stilistica per la band.
La matrice compositiva rimane la medesima di sempre,
pop ma capace di soluzioni sempre originali.
Il raggio d'azione pero' si muove verso orizzonti piu' vasti,
anche grazie all'introduzione del sassofono,
capace di evocare nuove suggestioni.
La versatilità compositiva della band emerge più che mai,
come una macchina del tempo impazzita attraverso la storia del rock
che salta dai King Crimson a Jack White, dai Beatles ai Nirvana,
da John Zorn a Jeff Buckley...

Le ritmiche potenti dell'Ammiraglio Dix, il sassofono sperimentale del
Sergente Zags, i riff di chitarra che sembrano usciti dall'epoca d'oro
del rock creano delle basi sonore perfette per la voce del Capitano
Mantell, espressiva ed efficace nei pezzi piu' tirati come nelle ballad.

I testi, cupi e disincantati ma con una vena di speranza
ci accompagnano poeticamente alla ricerca della beatitudine (Bliss)
intesa come evasione dallo stile di vita moderno
e simbolicamente rappresentata
attraverso la rivincita sulle rigide regole
delle macchine elettroniche che fino ad ora
avevano governato il suono della ciurma.
