Some quotes:
"... The compelling Reset of Marco Pernice -based on electric sounds and words used as
stones. "(Massimo Pasquini, Musica di Repubblica of 03.27.2003);
"... In Reset resurface clear references to the Lou Reed guitar riffs, Pernice's voice sometimes reminiscent of Rino Gaetano like in "Il treno" song, or cited "I moderni" ... others, such as in the case of "Sole", that of Alex Britti (Nicola Morisco, La Gazzetta del mezzogiorno of 04.30.2003);
"... With Reset the compositional evolution of Marco reaches its highest point, the guitar intro is really phenomenal and creates an involving sound.." (Fabrizio Zucchini, website Musictown April 2003);
"... With guitar and voice uncommon .. It is now clear that the atmosphere live are those favored by rockers .. "(Pasquale Attolico, Bari Sera 03/29/2003).
".. A well marked presence of Pernice's guitar that sounds especially like great rockers -Hendrix and Satriani." But in recent years the guitarist has evolved technically, to approaching sounds more ethereal and refined .. " (Nicola Morisco the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno of 05/28/2005).

Goes out to April 2009, the single ANGELA (produced by Pernice), many Italian local radio hit in summer 2009.
The song is promoted on the internet, radio and web radio Italian and abroad.
The single currently sells in the U.S.A., UK, France and Algeria, which demonstrate that the made in Italy has never waned and that the Internet opens a new era of music making, not necessarily negative.
Pernice is able to play different styles of music, just think of the album GUITAR ATTACK, contaminated by electronic sound with rock, blues and psychedelia.
It is currently producing the upcoming album: THE GREAT LIGHT FLIGHT, an instrumental guitar album contaminated by various music styles, although mainly the sound will be rock virtuoso.
