This CD contains the first appearance of Alice's recording of "Nomadi" by Juri Camisasca. You can also hear Alice's long-time collaborator Franco Battiato sing this on his CD "Fisiognomica." I enjoy Battiato's version but his somewhat thin voice comes no where near doing justice to this song like Alice does. Alice's version of "Nomadi" is one of the finest pop recordings I have ever heard. I love it. My wife loves it. My teenage kids love it. Everyone who comes to my house and hears it loves it. Camisasca's construction is flawless. The melodies of the verse and chorus are very memorable, the sort of melodies that you find yourself often humming. I don't speak Italian but my wife knows enough and the lyrics are very poetic and profound. The song also boasts a lovely, dreamy synthesizer/techno arrangement. Above all, there is Alice's performance, beautifully phrased in a her rich, deep voice. A perfect track.

I find Alice's music very touching and empowering, like a cathedral of love and passion. Park Hotel is a record I listen to over and over again. Funny that the artist seems to me be known only in Italy¨, but it does not matter. Especially Nomadi and Viali Di Solitudine are very awesome moments in this truly great record.

Alice could sing everything ... she gives joy and great emotions. This album is a well produced and performed masterpiece
