"Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons" was my favorite album during the winter season of 2000/2001.
In the cassette version, I added two tracks drawn from this mini, released in 2000.
The first, "Chi é e non é", is a song sung in Italian, with acoustic tones, vaguely psychedelic. Here, Amedeo's voice seems to recall Battisti. Delightful is the addition of piano notes towards the end.
The second is "Slogan". A cover of a song by the Gainsbourg/Birkin duo. The piece is sweet, sharp, and melancholic, dark and less lively than the original. Obviously, instead of Jane, here there's Kazu, who manages well with the French. A rereading with psycho Dub flavors in the finale, which adds that extra touch to the interpretation. Here in a less pronounced way, you can find sounds that will end up on the subsequent "Misery Is A Butterfly".
Practically the whole album is a reinterpretation. "En Particular" already in English on the LP, is here in French. The same happens with "Odiata per le sue virtù". Sung by a Kazu who seems drunk.
The only track in English is "Four Damaged Lemons". Which couldn't be sadder. Awesome!
