Alice: Il sole nella pioggia
CD Audio I have it ★★★
If this is our answer to world music, well... it's a bit lacking... okay, the lineup is impressive: Phil Manzanera, Jon Hassell, Paolo Fresu, Dave Gregory (XTC), Jan Maidman (Penguin Café Orchestra), Peter Hammill (Van Der Graaf). But the result is really just a long lullaby without backbone, low in sodium and even heavy in the lyrics. Maybe I'm wrong, but this album is truly overrated...

    if you don't understand it, you don't love it.

    It's a bit like saying if you don't get it, it's not your fault! Maybe you're right, huh? Maybe I'm the one who didn’t understand... I'll study harder! But I'd rather understand better and explore other albums in the same genre, rather than suffer through the catacomb lamentations of this album again...

    only animal gray is worth entire discographies. then I can understand that it might not be to everyone's liking. then our response to world music is: Crueza de ma by de André and Abacada by Andrea Parodi.

    I don't know this album, but given who's playing on it, I'll definitely listen to it (wow, even just for the presence of Hammill and Hassell).

    I'm perfectly in agreement about "su creuza de ma." It's the ultimate masterpiece that we've brought out in Italy. "Abacada" is a gap for me; I haven't listened to it, but I will for sure. As for "il sole nella pioggia," I'm not saying that everything is trash, but the inspiration is definitely lacking in many parts, and the convoluted production doesn't fully cover certain gaps. Overall, especially considering the names involved, it seems more like a missed opportunity than the hit that even poor hjhhjij expects when reading the cast. Dear hjhhjij, you who can, save yourself!! I'm joking, of course; I have the utmost respect—it's a subjective matter!
Wonderful work, among the greatest of the nineteenth century. All 9 symphonies by Bruckner are a spectacular compendium of quality, depth, and intensity...beyond words!
