One of the albums that convinces me the least by Fossati, still unripe and too "American," so to speak (starting with the horrible cover). However... here we also find spine-chilling tracks like "Il grano e la luna," "Where is paradise," and especially "Storie per farmi amare," so I can't give it less than 3.5. Then, with the next album "La casa del serpente," Ivano will start to show what he's made of. more
This album is THE perfection, there's not a single piece out of place. Its most successful work, simply extraordinary. more
Disturbing and sick character. I won't even say rest in peace because he might get mad... more
Musically speaking, for me it is his peak: an excellent album, arranged wonderfully. Eleven truly inspired tracks, and, 28 years later, still relevant, including "Tutto più chiaro che qui," "Bellamore," and "Sangue su sangue," and especially "Rumore di niente." Rating 4.5, almost 5. more
One of Ivano's best albums from the 2000s and earlier: an absolutely perfect album in every way with beautiful gems, among which stand out "C'è tempo", "Pane e coraggio", "Ombre e luce" but above all the wonderful "Il bacio sulla bocca". As far as I’m concerned, it’s in the top 5 of the most beautiful Italian singer-songwriter albums of the new millennium. more
After 14 years of pretty mediocre albums, Renatone finds the desire to get back up and gives us this excellent record. It doesn’t quite reach a full 5, but it's close. The next album will also have a handful of good songs, but after that, the gems will need to be sought out with a lantern... more
After 1981, they became the imitators of a homonymous good group. more

Believe that the mafia was invented by Marlon Brando more
It's the album by Edo that I love the most, just after "Io che non sono l'imperatore." Wonderful. more
The closing album of the most "refined" phase of his career. An absolute masterpiece, no ifs or buts. The title track is one of those songs that breaks your heart with every listen. more
Knowing when to stop when you're at the top is a skill only for champions. Fossati is one of them. more
Double LP with tracks recorded in the studio and live. "Sera di Gallipoli," "Varsavia," and "Così" are wonderful and unique songs. more

The worst of the worst by Pino Daniele, even more miserable than "Come un gelato all'Equatore" from a few years earlier. What sadness.. more
Of course, between Comacchio and Petrucciani etc., all people who have made history, it would drive anyone crazy. Comacchio is surrounded by what I call our Everglades. Immense marshes, birds flying happily because they can't be hunted, eels resting after their journey from the Sargasso Sea and reproducing; they chose this place millions of years ago and have never left it. When we talk about loyalty. Comacchio was a bit like the Venice of the proletariat; here, until a few decades ago, there was blue misery. The people of Comacchio were known for the beauty of their women and for the vice... of stealing – I wouldn't want some comacchiese to get angry. Today I had coffee at Anita's, a small outpost of about 100 houses before the valley. I recommend you go there and maybe catch an evening like that of '84; in August they always organize high-level events at the 3 bridges and even outside. Bring Autan or some kalashnikov for the mosquitoes. It must have been a beautiful evening that July 8th, '84. I wish I could have been there. more
I posted in the wrong place. I wanted to talk about Saigon. Alice is wonderful, no ifs or buts. more
beautiful music, beautiful voice and lyrics even if "Saigon" has little to do with it. It could have mentioned, with the same sense of distance, Moscow, New York, or Beijing, but that's not the point. I really like the song, it has that feeling of disappointment, that idea of things dreamed of and never realized that gets inside you and makes you feel sad. At least that’s how it is for me. Better, much better than FDA. more
