Helmut Lotti Goes REM Sleep

In 2009, a year after the ambitious Helmut Lotti goes to Sleep, came a sequel that continues Lotti's bedtime adventures. This time the overall theme deals with not just sleeping but dreaming. The style is even more experimental - mostly metal songs twisted into unique Lotti arrangements with influences from psychedelic, ambient and new age music. Once again Lotti proves his unique artistic vision and musicianship!

Helmut Lotti goes To Sleep

This 2008 album showcases Lotti's huge then-interest in sleeping. His tour personnel  reported that Lotti was taking a nap so often that his shows were becoming instrumental gigs of his background band! Luckily he has recovered from napping so often but here's a document from the era when Lotti was very sleepy. He sings his favorite metal and rock tracks with a very sleepy style. It is one of his more experimental albums but absolutely worth a listen!

Helmut Lotti Goes To Sleep  is the first part of his sleeping music saga, the second being Helmut Lotti Goes REM Sleep.
