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.) more
Excellent, it also includes some of the best versions of certain tracks from my favorite Dalla album (those who know, know they don't know). But...BUT...Caruso: while it is a beautiful song, it has pulverized the testicles due to how overplayed it is by many. more

On the cover of their albums, it should be written "not suitable for those over 14." more

Maybe a bit commercial, but in the past, they really produced some nice stuff... the self-titled and XXX are two excellent albums. After Radio Zombie (2001), it was a sad decline. Almost 3.5. more
