Alice nuvole rosse


Park Hotel is the eighth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in late 1986 on EMI Music.

Contents

The album was recorded with a four-piece band consisting of Italian keyboardist Michele Fedrigotti plus three internationally acclaimed musicians: American bassist Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Yes, Lou Reed etc.), American drummer Jerry Marotta (Orleans, Peter Gabriel, Hall and Oates, Tony Levin Band etc.) and British guitarist Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd etc.).

Park Hotel which was Alice's first project to be produced by long-time collaborator Francesco Messina, and included the single releases "Nomadi" and "Conoscersi" as well as other popular tracks like "Il senso dei desideri", "Volo di notte", "Viali di solitudine" and "Nuvole rosse", became one of the greatest commercial successes of the singer's career, a Top 20 hit in most parts of Continental Europe as well as Scandinavia (#14 Sweden) and Japan in early 1987. The track "Nomadi" was later covered by Franco Battiato on his 1988 album Fisiognomica.

A re-recorded version of "Nomadi" was included in the 2000 career retrospective Personal Jukebox.
