Erik Neuteboom's words: 'The band sent me a promo EP (released in 2008) with two tracks. First Polheim (unmastered version) that sounds dynamic and alternating with elements of ELP (Hammond organ), Genesis (bass pedals and violin-Mellotron eruptions), Mahavishnu Orchestra (excellent interplay in jazz rock style) and Rush (synthesizer drops, bass pedals and exciting interaction between guitar, keyboards and rhythm-section). You can hear that the musicians are experienced with lots of interesting musical ideas, a very pleasant first musical encounter with Soulengine! The other composition is their single Rain Flower (demo version): it starts with a captivating combination of jazz rock sounding electric piano and guitar and bombastic Hammond organ, followed by a harder-edged guitar solo, halfway the atmosphere turns into mellow with soaring electric guitar (use of volume pedal) and violin-Mellotron eruptions, then a splendid build-up with tasteful work on guitar and keyboards, a funky bass and in the end a fiery electric guitar solo with wah-wah pedal in a compelling climate, this is very dynamic music. I am looking forward to their debut album, what a very promising new Italian progrock band!' (Erik Neuteboom - Background Magazine) Upside down, downside up, from the body to the brain and back... The engine of soul guides you through an odd journey. 'Mind Colours EP' are the nuances of everyone of us, nuances to be pointed out through art, music in particular. Being music an abstract art, the colours of the mind are the abstract experiences found during this journey: the tunes of 'Mind Colours' are intended to be capable to let you explore inside yourself and to use this experiences outside, in our daylife. So is it psychedelia? No, it's not, it's progressive rock! Or, so to say, 'it's more permessive than progressive'... And Soulengine's first release is full of different influences which the band blends in an unique way, to have an uncompromising style and sound: you can find the best of 70's progressive rock blended with jazz, classical music, fusion, psychedelia. Everything in 'Mind Colours' is enriched by gorgeous arrangements and virtuosisim, and melody is the leit motiv for the whole album. How the album was born? Ettore Salati and Fabio Mancini worked together for years for another international progressive rock band, The Watch, and they shared many important experiences, like the 'Vacuum tour' which brought them to play live all over the world and in international progressive festivals, and recording the albums 'Vacuum', 'Live Bootleg' and 'Primitive'. In two different moments, both left the band and started to work on original compositions. The two guys had so many original songs in their minds that immediately wanted to let a real band been born. The first aim was to merge all the influences they had, which crossed the borders from seventies' progressive rock to jazz, fusion, psychedelia and so on... Giacomo Pacini and Nando de Luca joined the project, and the four members started a large arrangement job, which took the most of 2008 and 2009. Nine songs came to life, or we should better call them 'tunes', because the music is mostly instrumental, and it features vocals only sometimes. A couple of guest musicians left their unmistakable mark on these tunes: Joe Sal (vocals on 'Down The Street' and 'Asleep'), and Davide Gandino (flute on 'Asleep' and 'Challenge To An End'). During 2011 the tracks for the full-length album have been recorded, and in 2012 Soulengine's album, called 'Mind Colours', has been mixed and mastered and finally released! Musicians: Ettore Salati electric, acoustic, 12-string, double-neck guitars, bass pedals Fabio Mancini piano, hammond, moog, mellotron, synths Nando de Luca bass, acoustic guitars Giacomo Pacini drums, percussions Guest musicians: Joe Sal vocals on 'Down The Street' and 'Asleep' Davide Gandino flute on 'Asleep' and 'Challenge To An End' Drums recorded at Vicos Studio, Milan, by Raff Pellino Guitars and bass recorded at Highway Studio, Milan, by Mike Campanella Keyboards recorded at Palombino Studio, Milan, by Mike Campanella Vocals recorded at Block Studio, Milan, by Cristiano Cesario Mixed at TurboStudio, Milan, by Michele Campanella Mastered at OMD Studio, Milan, by Simon Stucchi Photos by Chiara Babini Artwork by Davide Guidoni.

Unpacks Nazi rhetoric & makes it relevant to today
Format: Kindle
Ron Chernow’s best book ... unpacks Nazi rhetoric and makes it relevant to today. While I read his other books, honestly this book was far more impactful. I realized how little I knew about specific families and citizens in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich. While the Warburg family was extremely wealthy and atypical, they were very savvy yet still were very aligned to country which caused them to underestimate what was happening in Germany. I love to read about US leaders, but by reading this, realized I need to get out of US history and into global history. Also, while the Warburg brothers were the main focus, I appreciated focus and development of the important woman in the narrative.

A Comprehensive Framework for Tackling Complexity with Confidence
Format: Kindle
Strategic Problem Solving is a powerhouse of a guide for anyone navigating today’s fast-paced, high-stakes business environment—or just dealing with tough challenges in general. Mark Hartley distills years of expertise into an actionable, easy-to-follow framework that makes complex decision-making feel manageable.
The seven-step framework is the star of this book, offering a logical, systematic approach to breaking down big problems and creating solutions that stick. Each chapter walks readers through a specific phase of problem-solving, from defining the problem with precision to communicating and implementing solutions with clarity and impact. This isn’t just theory—every concept is illustrated with real-world examples, case studies, and practical tools like flowcharts and work plans.
What makes this book stand out is its versatility. It’s perfect for professionals like executives, consultants, and managers, but the ideas can also apply to personal challenges. The tools for critical thinking, prioritization, and creative innovation feel universally relevant. Hartley’s writing is clear and concise, making even complex strategies approachable.
One of my favorite aspects is the emphasis on real-world application. For example, the chapter on disaggregating problems compares tackling a challenge to scaling a mountain, encouraging readers to “break the mountain into hills.” It’s practical advice that sticks, and the accompanying tools like mind maps and timelines make it easy to translate into action.
This book is more than just a manual for solving business problems—it’s a mindset shift. It helps you think critically, lead confidently, and make smarter decisions. Whether you’re managing a team, driving innovation, or simply trying to up your problem-solving game, this guide will be an invaluable resource.
Highly recommended for leaders, thinkers, and anyone striving to navigate complexity with skill and precision!

Mastering Strategic Problem Solving
Format: Kindle
This book offers a comprehensive approach to tackling complex challenges through a practical, step-by-step framework. It guides readers in defining and breaking down problems, prioritizing for impact, and implementing solutions effectively. A notable strength is its emphasis on real-world application, featuring case studies and examples from diverse industries that demonstrate the framework in action.
The chapter "Disaggregate the Problem into Smaller Pieces," for example, introduces the concept of disaggregation by comparing a complex problem to a towering mountain that becomes manageable when broken into smaller hills. This vivid metaphor, coupled with examples like successful product launches, illustrates how breaking challenges into components reduces cognitive load and sharpens focus. Tools such as mind mapping and flowcharts are explained in detail, enabling readers to visualize relationships and streamline decision-making processes.
Aimed at consultants and aspiring professionals, this guide equips readers with the mindset and techniques to solve problems strategically. While insightful and well-structured, its academic tone may appeal more to professionals than casual readers. Nonetheless, its clear methodology and actionable exercises make it an excellent resource for anyone seeking to enhance their decision-making skills.

A very good and helpful book
Format: Kindle
This book provides a well-structured, step-by-step approach to tackling challenges effectively. The book outlines a seven-step process, beginning with defining and identifying the problem, and then walks the reader through practical techniques like mind mapping, prioritization, and overcoming decision paralysis. Further, one of the book’s strengths is its wealth of real-world examples and case studies, which make the concepts tangible. The discussion on managing time in problem-solving, critical thinking, and addressing communication barriers is particularly insightful. Additionally, Heartly introduces useful frameworks such as the "inner matrix" and role mapping, which help in breaking down complex problems into manageable parts. While the content is valuable, the writing can feel a bit wordy, and some sections could flow more smoothly. The references are also quite small (in the ebook), making them a bit difficult to read. However, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise solid guide.
Overall, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills, whether in business, leadership, or personal decision-making.This book offers a clear, seven-step approach to tackling challenges. It provides practical tools like mind mapping, prioritization, and role mapping, with real-world case studies to illustrate key points. The book effectively covers critical thinking, time management, and communication barriers.
While the writing can be wordy and the references small, the content is valuable. A solid resource for anyone looking to improve their problem-solving skills.
