Antonello Venditti: Dalla pelle al cuore
23 may
A nice album, surprisingly, given the rather discouraging trials of previous works. Dedicated to the parents, there are very beautiful pieces, from the melancholic "Piove su Roma" where Gato Barbieri's sax returns to the profound "Tradimento e perdono." The inconceivable "Comunisti al sole" stands out as an exception, which is truly something to report (musically, of course).

    I agree, it's an artistic rebirth for Venditti. I consider it his best work since the '90s, although I wouldn't completely discard "Benvenuti in Paradiso" from 1991 either, where, alongside some terrible tracks (starting with the title track itself), there are other noteworthy songs: Dolce Enrico, Dimmi che credi, In qualche parte del mondo (I don't remember if that's the exact title, I haven't checked again), and also Amici mai, even if the latter is somewhat the "sequel" to Ricordati di me... nota:

The generational masterpiece by Luca Carboni, the unrest of twenty-year-olds in the Eighties filtered into an album that speaks of fear ("La voglia di vivere") and coexistence ("Vieni a vivere con me"), the latter topic being (almost) taboo in Italian singer-songwriter music of the time. "Silvia lo sai" goes down in history; "Lungomare" is a little gem to be locked away in a drawer.

By intuition, the debt to Springsteen here is even more evident than in the debut album. There are a couple of missteps, but there is also a lot that Liga will never replicate again (not even in "Buon compleanno Elvis," whose sound is already softer—I belong to the "ClanDestino" faction): "Anime in plexiglass"; "Sarà un bel souvenir"; "Libera nos a malo" deserve the 4 stars.

Battisti's debut marks a reclaiming: after years of "back work" for the beat groups of the time, Ribelli, Equipe 84, Camaleonti, he takes back those songs and arranges and sings them in his own way. The leap in quality is enormous, and anonymous songs like "Non è Francesca" (given to I Balordi) become easily accessible cult classics thanks to the musical insights of Battisti and his collaborators (in this case Gianni Dell'Aglio on drums). "Un'avventura" and "Balla Linda" go down in history, along with other songs ("La mia canzone per Maria," "Uno in più") which, while pleasant, still seem immature and far from what will become the artistic path of the singer-songwriter from Poggio Bustone. riappropriazione:

Remarkable punk-rock work far superior to the previous one. "Cagna"; "Angelo"; "Vorrei"; "Io sono debole" alone are worth the price of admission. It marked, and defined, a generation of "misfits" at the dawn of the century and millennium.

An (almost) masterpiece if it weren't for a certain musical predictability, although a couple of tracks, "Vivere una favola" and the title track, are among his best work ever. "Lunedì" and "Blasco Rossi" entertain; "Ciao" moves. Well done, bravo, encore.

    Maybe I prefer this to "Liberi liberi," but the difference is minimal...

Vasco's album that I love viscerally, from the sax solos to the wild and decidedly provocative lyrics (just imagine writing today "As soon as I catch you alone, I'll slit your throat"), signs of a singer-songwriter shaken by the arrest a few months earlier and unsure which path to take (and indeed two or three tracks are just so-so). Then, for me, a simple soul, "Cosa c'è," the title track, "Toffee," and "Dormi dormi" are enough to make it a work of (very) high quality.

The unreleased tracks are questionable: one is nice ("Più in alto che c'è"), two are so-so ("Un mondo migliore"; "Come nelle favole"), and one is horrifying ("L'amore ai tempi del cellulare"). On the bright side, and not a small one, there's the whole Vasco experience: the first CD, the least interesting, spanning 2016-2008; the second CD, a bit less awful, covering 2008-1998; the third CD, both modest and wonderful, from 1998-1985; and the fourth CD, the absolute best, 1985-1978. Five hours of music, if you like it.

On the fifth album, with the full "clan," Vasco comes close to a masterpiece (to me, this is even superior to the following "Bollicine," which is weighed down by too many fillers). It has everything: the wild Vasco of "Sono ancora in coma," to the one with non-trivial love songs like "Ogni volta." First, there is "Splendida giornata" (a reggae track, on an album very much reggae rock), then there's "La noia," with a stunning saxophone finale. He made a mark at Sanremo with "Vado al massimo," and took the microphone with him. He was at his peak, but it was just 1982.

His masterpiece, and, irony of fate, his last great album. The first side is a barrage of slogans ("Ormai è tardi"; "Vivere senza te è una libidine"; "Com'è simpatica questa domenica"; "E' un treno che non passa più"); the second is the one with the most heartfelt self-generational anthem (the title track). In a state of grace, an album, it must be remembered, played superbly.
