Hail joy, they've reissued this little disc. I've wanted it on vinyl for a decade, especially because aesthetically it's a bomb, both the reissue and the original. But the album...what can I say, it's the first of the diptych that elevated Pappalardo's name, thanks especially to the great presence of Lucio Battisti. And as a concept, I feel it very close to me (the relationship between man and sea, where there's always a desire to discover sunken and mysterious things; I've been diving continuously since I was going to the beach in Follonica, and this feeling is in my soul). But it’s not a masterpiece, it's a great product for sure, but not exceptional.
(P.S.: now I’m sitting here waiting for the reissue of Oh, it was about time, hoping it doesn't take two decades.)
