It's a concept album about the seven deadly sins (in the order they appear pride, avarice, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth) with the addition of an eighth "vice" autobiographical (My deputy), the search for a solution of irreconcilable opposites (good and evil, light and dark, avant-garde and tradition).
The work was composed entirely of Alfredo Tisocco and interpreted by the artist himself, assisted by an ensemble of six elements (Luciano Tavella on flute, Renato Zanella on electric guitar, Enrico Professione and Pieregidio Spiller on violin, Riccardo Perraro on cello and Paolo Siani on percussions and drums) plus four voices (Gina Bianco, Susan Worsham, Cindy Brasher and Carl Adams, the American Chorus Setaf). What emerges is the extraordinary Tisocco's ability to explore the most remote recesses of the keyboard (as well as a piano, synth and organ), with solutions ranging avantgarde (references to futurist music and experimental music) and tradition (classical music) as well as the name of the band suggests.[1]
The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices, or cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings, although they are not mentioned in the Bible. Behaviours or habits are classified under this category if they directly give rise to other immoralities. According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth, which are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues. These sins are often thought to be abuses or excesses of natural faculties or passions.
A vice is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered immoral, sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, or degrading ,deviant or perverted in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Vices are usually associated with a transgression in a person's character or temperament rather than their morality. Synonyms for vice include fault, sin, depravity, iniquity, wickedness, and corruption.
