    Total masterpiece. His most complete and mature album. Right after, I would place the wonderful self-titled one from 1984.

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.

    It is indeed, but it's noticeable that Perigeo still had to get used to it. In fact, the next one is already a half masterpiece.

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
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
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.
  • JOHNDOE
    30 jun 20
    maybe not a couple of balls
    in the first albums he practically devoured everyone
    he was unique in terms of musical proposal, technique, melody
    did he decline after? yes, like many others, but I don’t care
    I always judge an artist by their peaks, not by their crap
  • Martello
    30 jun 20
    This is true. But Pino… he’s not among the worst for me, but he’s not among the best either. However, he was great until the mid-80s. And in any case, to judge an artist, you need to see them as a whole, for their masterpieces and for their crap; it’s not enough to only take their virtues, otherwise everyone would be great artists.
  • JOHNDOE
    30 jun 20
    As I see it (I brush off the nonsense and pretend it doesn't exist), it's definitely among the best, like easily in the top 5.

    It's the wonder of the brain, which no one still knows how the hell it works. When it comes to musical tastes... it uses the logic of "everyone is an idiot, except for me."

    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.
  • Martello
    30 jun 20
    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).
