Some albums are time capsules, encapsulating the spirit of an era yet sounding eternally fresh. “It’s Time,” the album by LOU SIX DREAMING, is a prime example. Under the masterful guidance of Louis Siciliano, this album is a tour de force of rock music, featuring the vocal talents of Riccardo Lopez and Siciliano himself. It’s an album that rock enthusiasts around the globe need to experience.
Louis Siciliano is a name that commands respect in the music industry. A true polymath, Siciliano’s roles in “It’s Time” span from electric guitarist and Hammond organ player to producer and sound engineer. His ability to wear so many hats and excel in each is nothing short of extraordinary. Unfortunately, upon its initial release, the album was overlooked due to a lack of promotion by the record label. However, its brilliance and timeless appeal are undeniable, and it stands ready to be discovered by a new generation of rock aficionados.

Every track on “It’s Time!” is a sonic masterpiece, perfectly blending classic rock sounds with modern sensibilities. The lyrics, primarily written by Riccardo Lopez and Siciliano, weave poetry into music, creating an album that is both profound and exhilarating. The analog warmth of the album’s sound, thanks to Siciliano’s engineering prowess, offers a rich, nostalgic experience that digital recordings often lack. It’s this analog beauty that makes the album a true monument to rock music.

Siciliano’s life and career have seen him travel between California and London, and this geographic diversity is mirrored in his music. The album beautifully combines the laid-back, sun-soaked vibes of the West Coast with the distinct, edgy sound of British rock, particularly evident in the heartfelt ballads. This fusion creates a unique auditory experience that transports listeners to a golden era of music. Such an achievement has not gone unnoticed; Brian Eno himself has lauded the album, acknowledging its exceptional quality and artistry.

Louis Siciliano’s journey in music began with some of the industry’s giants. He honed his craft under the tutelage of legendary sound engineers and producers like Neil Dorfsman, Chuck Ainlay, and Bruce Swedien. These experiences, particularly during his tenure at the iconic Bennett Studios with producer Dae Bennett in the mid-90s, profoundly influenced his approach to music production and engineering.

Today, Siciliano’s contributions to music are recognized at the highest levels. He is one of the few European jurors on the Grammy Awards panel, underscoring his esteemed position in the global music community. His recent award from the prestigious INDIESHARK magazine further cements his status as a visionary in the music world.
