Incredibly rural atmospheres, blending with vocal harmonies worthy of the leading bands of the Sixties pop. Obvious influences include Neil Young, Bert Jansch, and Bob Dylan, with a touch of psychedelia reminiscent of the Incredible String Band; one of the most valid groups of the moment.

Successfully imports folk in the style of Leonard Cohen to Italian soil, adding an intimate touch with a distinctly melancholic flavor. "Bene," one of the most dazzling yet lesser-known gems of the Italian singer-songwriter scene.

It’s not difficult to define Guccini as an Americanist, given the omnipresent Dylan influence, especially in the early periods of his career. Yet, this does not prevent him from valuing the high musicality of the Italian language, with lyrics worthy of mention in literature textbooks. "Incontro" marks the history of Italian music.

    Arthur Lee is a genius. He deserves to be placed among the top five in American psychedelia of all time, for beauty and technical quality. Few albums in history can boast musical value and stylistic coherence like the masterpiece by Love, Fondamentale.

    Nothing to add to the comment that immediately precedes me, an almost perfect record. Chilling how Arthur Lee accompanies the instrumental solo in "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale."

His intention was to create an LP in the vein of the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison; the final product is a country folk that is rural at times and melodic at others, for an album that, in its own way, has marked the history of music.

One of the darkest and lesser-known productions of Young's career, marked by strong melancholy and anguish, although less exasperating compared to the later "Tonight's The Night." Once again, a masterful blend of raw rock and rural folk, as only Neil Young knows how to do.

    "although less exasperating compared to the subsequent 'Tonight's The Night.' Because Tonight is earlier, and it was recorded during the absolute worst period for Young. Released after yes, but recorded before, that’s no small detail. Still, I agree, it's a masterpiece, and between this and Tonight I wouldn’t know which one to choose. Here though is my favorite piece by Nello il Giovane."

The Beatles: Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane
12 nov 13
The highest peak of pop music reached in the twentieth century, no doubt about it. Strawberry Fields is pure "psychoanalysis in music"; with a folk soul and a spine-tingling psychedelic arrangement, where lysergia, orchestra, and raga influences vie for space on a tangled sonic carpet of disillusionments and shattered dreams. Let the die-hard Scaruffi devotees have their say, but here we are faced with an absolute masterpiece.

    Often, Scaruffi and the Dream T. are quoted for comparisons that ultimately prove to be completely useless. Perhaps it’s time to stop. I don’t care what Scaruffi says about the Beatles, and honestly, all this psychoanalysis in music doesn’t resonate with me. The lysergic experience was simply due to the doses of LSD they took, nothing more. Anyway, in Italian, without offense, this text means very little to me, if not resembling a half-delirious trip. Having it done by the Beatles gives it a whole different meaning, obviously. Imagine it sung in Italian, for example, by the Pooh. They would have been pelted with tomatoes.

    Two of the most beautiful Beatles songs for me. Lennon’s lyrics are a joy to explore. He’s one of the few who used nonsense like Lewis Carroll; I read that sometimes he deliberately wrote ad minchiam lyrics (I Am the Walrus) just for fun to see if anyone could find a meaning in them. Strawberry’s one seems to be one of the less challenging ones.

    But these are two great pop-lisergic pieces, no doubt about it, but damn it if you keep bringing up Scabuffo just like high and psychoanalytic meanings with every syllable written by Giovanni Lennone every two seconds, I go insane. Insane.

    For "psychoanalysis in music," I have intentionally used the definition provided by McCartney himself. The text is raw, unfinished, devoid of any labor limae, a stream of consciousness that entirely reflects the drama of alienation and the passage of time. That’s why.

    "Forever the fields of strawberries," "there's no way around it," I think that when I got my hands on my brother's 45 RPM, I was 12 years old in '67, I started listening to it in my attic. I remember well that after a first taste of the two tracks, "the strawberries" took over my "virgin palate," unaware of what I was handling, I served them to myself for an entire month. Now... there's no comparison in the qualitative difference, both in terms of compositional complexity and the arrangements, between the two tracks.

    Scaruffi, the Dream Theater, and Justin Bieber, or rather, especially Justin Bieber, I would say. Then, the expression "pochi cazzi" has always made me burst into cosmic raspberry sounds, well, who cares...
