Delusions
of Adequacy/Sea of Tranquility - USA- January 2011
Taken
as a whole conceptual statement, it's a masterpiece. It's as if David
Lynch produced Italian opera. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Claudio
Milano is one of the best male vocalists I have ever heard...an avant
garde art rock album that oozes class from beginning to end...imagine
David Lynch married with the excellence of Diamanda Galas.

A
truly multitalented guys...with more than 2½ hours of music for eyes
and ears you’ll have to add some energy of your own into it, but,
it’s well worth it !

"Il
Gioco del Silenzio" is one of the most brilliant CD’s I have
listened to in the last 10 years. There are just a few dozen singers
in the entire world, that I have heard that command the art of vocals
this way.

With
a warm and precise tone, Claudio Milano masters the change of
registers and within a second is able to go from a deep whispering to
a high falsetto shouting, all this effortless! And like a vocal
spider, he then threads his musical web around this voice... his
vocal chords function like a yo-yo!

Tassone
A
sound which is powerful, arresting and truly unique. Highly recommended.

Imagine
Paolo Conte gone berserk after being locked up in isolation for 2
weeks with nothing to listen to but Alban Berg's "Wozzeck".
Insanity guaranteed. Close to a masterpiece.
Karl
Bonne
A
real showcase for the talent the musicians have, especially in
experimental techniques. Its really great to see the musicians
spreading their wings and really having fun playing the music. 4.5
stars. Extremely recommended

- Canada - November 2010
There
is more than a touch of Fellini's carnival sensibility throughout the
varied tunes, but where Federico's work was humorous and nostalgic,
Nichelodeon are hallucinatory and dark, in very, very interesting
ways. If you like your music big, deep, philosophical and passionate,
Nichelodeon definitely offer something to sink your teeth into.

Milano
has proven himself to be a fine composer, singer and lyricist. Three
great talents all rolled into one. He created a true work of art,
which will be hard to surpass in the future.

Rock – Italy- December 2010
An
album of unique beauty ... Echoes of Art Bears and Henry Cow, Central
European perfumes. Free jazz for free minds. "Cantare la
voce/Singing the voice," someone said, a noble time ... One of
the best records in recent years.

Il
Mucchio Selvaggio/Fuori dal Mucchio - Italy- November 2010
A
band from Milan composed of seven elements that moves into an area so
vast as to include experimentation and free jazz, ethnic influences
and prog, post-punk deconstructions and noisy, new wave and even, the
Italian songwriters. .. the twelve tracks collected here ask a lot of
attention, but if they are approached with an open mind and desire to
get involved can give a lot of satisfaction.

Rumore
- Italy - December 2010
This
is an attractive invitation card from a concrete reality of the
Italian avant-garde ... worthy of mention for posterity.

Buscadero
- Italy - December 2010
Their
music evokes the charm and the mysterious beauty of an abstract
painting ... composed of classical elegance, breathtaking rock hits
and obscure and avant-garde dissonance ... barely simmering find
points of reference if not in HP Lovercraft's most dreamy pages. A
phantasmagoric multi-media performance.
Luca
Salmini
Rockerilla
– Italy - December 2010
A
mixture of Rock in Opposition, avant-prog and jazz caught twelve-tone
(with references to Demetrio Stratos and Opus Avantra but also to
Giovanni Lindo Ferretti) geared to the provocation ... a show
dedicated to the irreverence and desecration, covered with the colors
of a sensational soundpainting psychedelic. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Il
Manifesto/Alias – Italy - December 2010
A
very complex and fascinating subject ... a swirl of sound situations
... a dizzly game of joints, embracing avant-garde and European art
rock, desecration and weighted, accurate melodic profiles ... Area
and Van Der Graaf Generator in the secret book of the heart. On top
of the hill, the exciting voice of Claudio Milano.

Caleidoscoop
– The Netherlands – October 2010
A
mix of Elijah's Mantle, King Crimson, Zappa, Angelo Badalamenti,
Tuxedomoon, Debussy, Christian Wolz, Mike Patton, Naked City,
Supersilent, Virgin Prunes and Mikhail would not suffice to define
"The game of silence. " This is art with a capital A! A
giant has passed through Italy. Phenomenal!
