MidnightCafe Music has put together a special compilation album of Mario’s music called Spirit of Night based around the song of the same name and with a dark theme throughout.
As well as the title track (including the vocal version released as a single with ex-Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin) and some material from his solo album Entranced (2007), the album features Mario’s ’Valse Diabolique’ and ‘Hourglass’ that were previously only available from the albums The Alchemists (2001) and Warmth in the Wilderness II (2002) or as individual downloads. Also included is the popular ‘Solo in D’,
plus two previously unreleased short keyboard based tracks from Mario’s personal collection; ‘Arpeggios for Shawna’ and ‘Twilight Rose’. ‘Haunted’ and ‘Farewell’ from Entranced were added to keep the album’s theme dark and moody… Best played in the middle of the night…
The album is available as a high quality download only, and can be purchased from MidnightCafe Music’s online store at a low compilation album price of $8.99. Sound samples of each song can be heard on the store’s page also.
