Bluebird Reviews thinks that it would be fair to say that there are not many doubts that, in every chart citing the 10 best Rock, Blues/Rock and Hard-Rock guitarists in the world of the last half a century, the name of the late great Northern-Irish Guitar Maestro Gary Moore would be appearing every time.

An artist that has performed a very wide range of music throughout his career, going from Hard-Rock, Blues/Rock, Metal and even Jazz, Moore has been and still is to these days one of the major inspirations for young (and well famous fellow artists too) musicians willing to learn the craft of such a legendary and inspiring music talents that left us too soon, sadly, when Moore was only 58.

It's refreshing to hear, especially in the modern music business, how many risks an artist is prepared to take, especially when said artists are putting their reputation on the line. But then again, where it's true enough that investing on a project where the artist in question is ready to give full space for improvisation to their fellow musicians playing on the record can be seen as a bit risky, it's also true that by giving that space for creativity to those musicians, they will feel themselves trusted enough to help creating a body of work for the artist in question that will push themselves to give the best of their musicianship.

Cio' che rende detti dischi ancora piu' speciali avviene quando due artisti, appartenenti a due diversi macrocosmi musicali, riescono a sposare i loro rispettivi stili, facendoli confluire in un contesto comune dove possono applicare sperimentazioni musicali che unificano due mondi musicali diversi, facendoli diventare un tutt'uno.

Quale sia stata la molla che ha spinto a collaborare due celebrati artisti come il bassista, multi-strumentalista, produttore e compositore di colonne sonore cinematografiche italiano Gianni Maroccolo e il chitarrista australiano dei Bad Seeds, nonche' cantante, autore e frontman del gruppo Post-Punk The Wreckery, Hugo Race, a scrivere e registrare un disco in combutta chiamato The Vigil, non ci e' dato saperlo ma chiunque dei due avesse proposto questa collaborazione musicale, ci aveva visto davvero lungo sin dall'inizio.
