LA RECENSIONE

The title of this work, released in 1975 on the Deneb label, fits well with the situation Italy had been experiencing for some years. A country with limited sovereignty emerging from the first phase of state terrorism to immerse itself in what would become Il Movimento.

Reading the titles that make up this record, we find the symbolic places and feelings of that period: The factory and The empty streets on one side, The anguish, The oppression, and The boredom on the other. The music elaborated by Casa, a mix of experimentation, industrial jazz, and expressionism, perfectly paints the pictures suggested by the titles. The author demonstrates not only talent but also a great empathy towards the problems of the time, which gives each piece a special dignity.

I have always been impressed by the fact that the work concludes with the track Dictatorship, almost as if to suggest it as the inevitable destiny of every Sick Society.
