Songwriting in evolution. New forms of musical life at the end of the millennium.
The best album by Chimenti, in my humble opinion.

The first in a series of works by Branduardi aimed at recovering and re-proposing medieval musical traditions, featuring both secular and sacred pieces. An interesting effort, but not at the top of my discography.

The latest (and perhaps last, but I don't know if least) album by Battiato. An orchestral collection with an unheard track that feels like an epitaph: the moving title track.
...but I'm not sure if I will listen to the rest.

A splendid piece (Inside and out is among my favorite tracks from the four-piece era) and two insipid ones. The hinge between one way of composing and another, between the desire to architect complex structures and the wish for an easy piece (even when it’s only seemingly so: read Turn it on again).

Romantic? Yes, but not only, not in the sense of a classic love story.
Historical? In a way yes, it romanticizes a true story.
Dramatic? Just enough, like salt in recipes.
Metacinematographic? Yes, if that term exists.
I, having grown up with Mary Poppins, liked it.

A film still fresh, after 35 years.
A series of sketches to present the most charming Neapolitan character, even in its contradictions, infused with De Crescenzo's philosophical approach, from the praise of doubt to the dichotomy between men of love and men of freedom.

7 jul 19
An album that raises the qualitative bar of the discography of the Lucanian singer-songwriter. A rich and precise voice, with arrangements that offer broader horizons to songs that sometimes feel a bit stale with their overly "80s" sounds in the studio versions. Some noteworthy melodies. The 2 new tracks are pleasant but not essential.

The dreams of a young woman crash against the political and cultural crisis of Berlusconi's Italy.
Memory as an antidote and a resource for a better tomorrow.
Articles, photos, and songs kept to fight against the temptation to succumb to racism, violations of rights, and superficiality elevated to the status of show business.
A refreshing sip of water, enjoyable and very well written.

It's not among his best albums. Among the soundtracks, it's better than the almost useless "Map of the World," but well below "The Falcon and The Snowman."
  • Onirico
    29 jul 19
    Wait, I haven't heard this, but the first piece of Map of the World, which also gives the album its title, is one of the miracles of the 1900s. The rest, honestly, I don't remember; I haven't listened to it since then, I think.

Just his 12-string guitar is enough to produce a full and engaging sound. From the sweetest tracks to the most rhythmic ones, it takes you on a sea of deep and brilliant sounds.
13 pieces by Zappa expertly reworked by him. Being the only work I know, I can only define it, but it deserves a top-notch review.

    I don’t remember that one; from this album, I’ve only blasted a few select songs. It’s the first record where our guy started to get serious, and I think he’s grown a lot with the subsequent ones, which I listen to in full.
  • harlequin
    29 jul 19
    I agree.
    Consider that the Albanian Barcarola is a track from the album Freak, here featured as a ghost track.
    Crazy boy is a song written for Fiorella Mannoia, found in the album Gente comune from 1994. Bersani's version is much more beautiful, harmonized in a decidedly original way.

The three members of the band bring out the best in themselves in terms of composition, arrangements, and execution.
