Nick D'Virgilio (NDV) - Invisible (CD)

Coming almost two decades after his debut solo offering, Invisible is the second solo studio album by drummer and multi-instrumentalist musician Nick D’Virgilio (NDV).

This concept album about 'finding meaning' saw recording split between the Abbey Road Studios (including full string and brass sections) and Sweetwater Studios in Fort Wayne, Indiana,

Guest musicians include guitarists Paul Gilbert, Rick Nielsen, and Carl Verheyen, bassists Tony Levin and Jonas Reingold, and keyboard players Jordan Rudess and Jem Godfrey.

NDV describes it as, “A collection of songs that make up the story of a man who is unhappy with where his life has ended up. He finally decides to take the scary step of leaving everything behind so he can go and find the meaning of his life.”

 He continues: “Throughout my career I have been in many different places. Over time the word ‘invisible’ kept coming to mind and it got me thinking of people that truly have the hardest jobs in the world, or no job at all. The outliers. The ones we all take for granted. The ones we will never know but if they were not there then our lives would not be the nearly the same. Over time I amassed lyric and song ideas with the idea of writing a concept record on the subject.”
 
NDV further states that "Invisible is a rock album with various musical flavours thrown in because the songs were formed with the story in mind. A classical prelude that uses various themes from the whole piece sets the stage. From there comes a mellow ballad outlining the story and then it is on to the adventures of the central character. The main thing making this record did for me was to reaffirm my strong belief that we are all here for something. We all have a purpose.”


This is the clear 2LP edition of the album, housed in gatefold and including a booklet with lyrics, credits, and a second “drum booklet” with precise and detailed information of the gear used in each of the songs.
