The concept behind "Weapons Of War" was originally conceived and written in New York City in 1994, when Vince Conigliaro and Tony Natale got together for a productive jam and writing session in Contex Studio, just prior to Tony’s relocation to London. For nine long years, this song travelled with Tony, secluded on a cassette tape as he moved around London, living between 12 flats in a seven-year period. By the summer of 2002, after moving to Germany, he finally decided to re-record the idea in his new base at Drumtrack Studio, Gotha, Germany. The song features Tony Natale on keyboards, acoustic guitars, bass and drums; in addition, he travelled to the south of France, where he gained the input on vocals of Oliver Campana, a band mate from his ‘London years’. Oliver’s contribution is highly impressive; his distinctive vocals on the chorus seem to truly elevate the recording to another level, so much so that Tony decided to give him a fair share of the copyrights, too!

The essence of this song is to promote peace, together with a more constructive way to use our energy and money to help people of all colours and backgrounds in achieving a more productive life. This work is not perfect nor as complete as Tony would like it to sound, because of the pressures of time and finance; nevertheless, he still resolves to, ‘Put it like it is’, in the clear message conveyed, which is undoubtedly more important than simply the recording itself. In the future, Tony hopes to include a grittier ‘live’ version of ‘Weapons of War’.

"Mountain" is now available on Peacepipe Records.
