Lightdark
2008
Lightdark is the second album of the Italian progressive rock band Nosound. This is the first official studio album to include members other than the founder Giancarlo Erra, originally released through Burning Shed in February 2009.
The album was released a third time under the Kscope label in September 2009. Nosound signed with the label with an agreement to re-release Lightdark with a special second CD titled Clouds (previously only available for download) which includes an additional track unavailable on the download version. The CD also included a new booklet of photos and a promo video that were not available on the original release.
