The A’dam Sykles — ‘Out Of The Circle Game’ (Teen Sound Records – Delta Top) CD Italy 2009 There’s a definite Byrds & Love influence happening here. Rome, Italy’s A’dam Sykles have their influences down pat on ‘Out Of The Circle Game’ but, with a more contemporary approach. Main man/songwriter & former Others guitarist singer, Massimo Del Pozzo leads this new 5-piece band. Think somewhat of fellow contemporary US/UK Psychedelic/Garage band, The Higher State and you’ll find that both of these bands tread similar abet slightly different U.S. Paisley waters. Album opener, the Sitar-driven ‘Cm’ sets the mood covered up in a Marsh mellow Overcoat. The Sykles dreamier approach separates them slightly at times the former mentioned band like on the Love influenced ‘Shades of Blue’ with its’ delightful flute touches & Beatles backwards guitar. The Baroque touches of ‘Feel The Pain (Roby’s Song)’ & the short instro intro ‘Sugarplum Fairy’, the relaxing solo acoustic guitar instrumental ‘Daisy’, and the gentle Classical acoustic guitar string quartet instrumental ‘Victor’s Lullaby’ set apart these three songs somewhat from the album’s other songs. i could imagine this last instrumental in a films soundtrack. ‘Sunshine Girl’ has a breezy Boyce & HartlSunshine Pop late Spring, groovy dance feel to it. Speaking of soundtracks, this swell tune could’ve fit on the ‘Casino Royale’ soundtrack. The pleasant ‘She lives in my mind’ flows pretty well with Daniele Onorati’s swinging organ levitatin
