Let's go straight ahead with the white discs... what can I say? It's a miracle. It's Battisti's album that sounds better than all, the tracks flow in a pleasant and natural way, the lyrics are fantastic, the music is a bomb... but then there are the pieces: the opening "Le cose che pensano," the hammering "Il doppio del gioco," the experimental "Madre pennuta," the most Panellian signature in "Equivoci amici," the incredible arrangement of "Che vita ha fatto," the gallop of "Fatti un pianto," the long tail of "Il diluvio"... and then there’s him, the masterpiece among masterpieces: "Don Giovanni"... but what am I saying about this album? Go listen to it now and if you haven't heard it yet, go recover it; an album like this is almost impossible to find in Italy! 10/10, the whites start in fifth!

Forget about "don't talk about love," here we definitely talk about it. And I think I've figured out why it's the least appreciated among the white albums: among all 5, this one draws much more from pop music, creating absolutely catchy songs like the title track, yet they remain difficult to understand. It's a bit like what Una donna per amico was for the period with Mogol, an album that tries to create a new kind of pop. The album itself is fantastic, the melodies that Battisti creates are stellar, and the lyrics manage to discuss love issues in a bizarre way (and in this, I ritorni is the most fitting example). 9/10, many should reevaluate it.

Really a good album, with three fantastic tracks: The interpreter of a film that I’ve been listening to on repeat for years, Ami ancora Elisa which I heard for the first time and it was a continuous magic, and Si viaggiare which is always amazing. The rest is good stuff, especially Amarsi un po' and Questione di cellule, but there’s still a bit of the issue from its predecessor, the lyrics continue to clash, though here the problem is already more scaled down. 7/10, I wanted to give it an 8 but in my opinion it doesn’t compete with Umanamente uomo and Emozioni.

I wasn't very eager to start the Battisti marathon because of this album, which didn't attract me at all, mainly due to my lack of feeling for 60s music. Fortunately, there is a lot of good stuff: the classics like Un'avventura, 29 settembre, and Non è Francesca, there’s La mia canzone per Maria which reminds me a bit of Rino Gaetano, and there are Per una lira and Prigioniero del mondo that I find quite nice. But what really elevates the album, in my opinion, are Io vivrò senza te, musically excellent with great pathos, and Il vento, a true country/blues surprise that's somewhat distorted and placed at the end of the album. Everything else leaves me indifferent, which is also a bit how I feel about the album in general; even though it has some great tracks, they all seem to be on the same level, and I still feel a bit disconnected from the music of that era, which I've already mentioned. In conclusion, it’s a good album but definitely not for me; it was nice for a listen, but I have no interest in hearing it from start to finish again. 6/10, those who love it should follow it.

Another masterpiece. Perhaps, compared to Don Giovanni, it is slightly less focused in its intentions, slightly less cohesive in the succession of pieces, and has a few tracks that are a notch below the others, but it’s still a gem. The arrangements are even bolder, Panella is even more daring with the lyrics, creating truly magical images like the "staircases that twist in the dark" in A portata di mano. And there is one of the most beautiful pieces in Battisti's entire career: Per altri motivi, a unique experience. 9/10, it paves the way for new horizons.

Ugh, my opinion on this album is quite controversial; I didn't understand it at first and I think it has many negative aspects. Listening to it again, I still think that, but I found something more: Ancora tu remains a "banger," truly excellent, La compagnia always hits even if it misses in some passages, Il veliero is an absolute masterpiece of which I never listen to the lyrics because the insane rhythm keeps me spellbound. But I found a little surprise with No dottore, a track that (in my opinion) deserved a more ballad-like arrangement but is still quite nice, and Respirando, even if I wouldn't listen to it on repeat but it has a great rhythm... okay, that was the good stuff. Frankly, some pieces remain at the bottom of the Battistian barrel: Un uomo che ti ama has one of the most pathetic lyrics ever written by Mogol, alongside an excellent base that is brutally sunk, Io ti venderei continues to torment me; no matter how much I try, I can't listen to it, and Dove arriva quel cespuglio I find tiresome as a track, the base isn't perfectly calibrated and the lyrics are too "by the book." Furthermore, Mogol's lyrics are becoming less interesting, which is strange given the peaks reached with Anima latina. Warning: this album is by no means a failure; it is still excellently arranged and has a couple of gems within it, but I have no interest in listening to it again. 6/10, improvements needed.

...it has been painful. This album could have really worked if the lyrics had been better adapted; sometimes they are translated word for word, and this seriously undermines the tracks, especially when excessively long metrics are forced into the vocal lines (which happens particularly in Keep on cruising). And then there are the recoveries...oh dear! A song to feel alive and The sun song are chilling, no exaggeration—they sound incredibly outdated, and this is strange; Battisti's pieces have always been ahead of their time, but these two...no, they are like two songs born old. There is some good, we're still talking about Lucio: I actually found To feel in love nice, and Keep on cruising still has that crazy rhythm...I can't think of anything else noteworthy. It may be controversial, but...4/10. If you want to listen to Battisti in English, look for Friends (Una donna per amico).

It's not at the level of "Automobili per Diana," but it's a nice album.

My story with this album is still complex today: two years ago I went from considering it decent to re-listening and seeing how much it actually had to offer. Today... it remains a beautiful album. Pecorella and Noi come voi still sit heavily on my stomach, especially Pecorella, but the rest is very valid. I’ve already wasted enough words on the title track; you all know it’s fantastic.

Perigeo: Azimut
8 jul 22
A truly remarkable debut, it's 50 years old and you wouldn’t know it. Perhaps a bit raw in certain aspects, somewhat out of focus in some tracks, and the Perigeo factor was still in its embryonic stage, but this album is a real gem: it features genuine tour de force of jazz-rock (Grandangolo, Azimut, 36° parallelo which has that mind-blowing drum solo), an attention to arrangements typical of Perigeo, and some steps outside their usual circle which, albeit limping, remain interesting (Un respiro). It may not be the best by Perigeo, as the three subsequent albums and perhaps even the last one surpass it by far, but I reiterate, such a debut is truly remarkable. 8/10, the myth begins.

9 jul 22
If the debut was remarkable, here we're on levels that are nothing short of stellar; this album is a bit of a masterpiece. The very first track, Non c'è tempo da perdere, is perhaps my favorite piece by Perigeo, almost 9 minutes of musical perfection. Then come other gems; I almost have to mention all the tracks because each one is more beautiful than the last: Rituale is perfect in every single second, with a powerful crescendo, Abbiamo tutti un blues da piangere is a wonder from every perspective, one of the most unforgettable pieces in our music scene, the melancholic Nadir is fantastic, and the nine and a half minutes packed with insights of Vento pioggia e sole are the cherry on top. Perhaps the album is a bit more tranquil compared to the previous and subsequent works of Perigeo, but that's a flaw that's totally relative to the listener; if someone adored the frenetic energy of many points in Azimut, they might find themselves in different waters with this second chapter. For me, it's wonderful just the way it is; I would truly change very few things about this excellent second album. 9/10, don't miss it at all.
Perigeo: Genealogia
CD Audio I have it
Perigeo: Genealogia
10 jul 22
Another album for Perigeo. Less rock and more electronic, the intro Genealogia is a perfect business card in this regard. Rock is certainly still present; In vino veritas is a stunning jazz-rock ride, and some memories linger in the immortal Via Beato Angelico. The album itself has some flaws, specifically, one big personal flaw: in my opinion, the B side doesn’t match the A side. The first four tracks of the LP are pure perfection, featuring an enchanting Genealogia, a captivating Polaris, a dreamy Torre del lago, and an impeccable Via Beato Angelico; the B side, while starting off wonderfully with In vino veritas, does lose steam in the middle with pieces that, while interesting, have decidedly less bite, although the album’s closing with Sidney's call is worth everything. Personally, it lags a bit behind its predecessor, but despite everything, Genealogia is another wonderful chapter in the Perigeo discography that deserves to be listened to like almost every Perigeo album, where, even if not every track is a masterpiece, there are always at least three or four that are simply eternal. 9/10.
Perigeo: Alice
CD Audio I have it
Perigeo: Alice
25 jul 22
It continues to be my favorite from Perigeo, perhaps precisely because it is known by so few; I see it as an album that's much more my own. It's simply one of the most ambitious albums ever released in Italy, a tour de force in the Italian music scene of the 70s, spanning prog, jazz, rock, pop, dance, and singer-songwriter genres, crowned by essential Italian singers of those years, including Dalla, Gaetano, Oxa, Cattaneo, and so on, culminating with Lina Sastri adding spoken interludes here and there. Perhaps a bit scattered, with so many singers it’s easy to get lost; if each of them takes on a character, it spells the end for a casual listener, and the lyrics are definitely not up to the standards of what this record offers. Aside from these little flaws, Alice is a unique entity in the history of Italian music, which probably won't see another album as ambitious and brilliant as this one. 8/10, not the best from Perigeo, but no less memorable than its predecessors.

    I agree @[JOHNDOE]. Up until '85 Pino is undisputed, for me "Nero a metà" stands out above all. With "Bonne soirèe" we enter the decline phase, but it remains at least good levels until "Che Dio ti benedica" in '93 included. Then he wrote "Io per lei" and from there began a tragic decline that led him to write all those awful songs we've been forced to endure over the last twenty-five years. One of the saddest musical regressions ever, alongside Dalla, Bennato, Venditti, Zucchero, Zero.

    After a long battle fought on equal terms between Battiato and Pino, Pino emerged victorious! He also deserves credit for repeating his success after his masterpiece ("Vai mo'" and "Bella m'briana" are both superb!), while Battiato has (partially) missed the mark after "La voce del padrone" (L'arca and orizzonti only captivate me sporadically). He will return to his levels with "Fisiognomica."
  • Ditta
    30 jun 20
    In reality, at least for me, Battiato has always maintained his good/excellent standards (except for the mid-70s experiments, which fortunately no one cares about). One of the very few, along with De André, Fossati, Guccini, Conte, De Gregori. Unfortunately, Daniele, like other colleagues, after an initial period of great ideas and a less "sharp" but still valid period, has plunged into the absolute abyss, with albums that are nothing short of repugnant, only 2 or 3 good songs scattered here and there, and at least one album per head that is at least decent ("Medina" from 2001).

    Certainly, Battiato had overall a qualitatively better career, "Gommalacca" docet, I was referring specifically to that period in the late '70s and early '80s.

    Kism, I was starting to have doubts, to tell you the truth, but then you pop up, Gommalacca, and there’s nothing I can do. Just love you. Nothing to say, nothing to do, nothing to understand.

    Holy cow! I agree completely with everything John @[JOHNDOE] said. Pino is among the best. The journey from Terra mia to Musicante in the Italian discography has few equals. Daniele towers over many others, one in particular being Lucio Dalla... Daniele took 22 years to create a masterpiece (Terra mia) while Dalla took 34 (Come è profondo il mare).

42 years? Seriously?
