Andrea Chimenti Vietato morire

try listening to the "Song of Songs of King Solomon" reinterpreted by Chimenti on piano and Anita Laurenzi in recitation. If being gay has given him wisdom and talent, as well as sensitivity and emotion, then I don't see why we should pride ourselves on being straight! PS: he is happily married with a child...just for the record :)

Thank you my friend :) for your comment on my comment (gasp I got all tangled up!). Can I recommend you an album? Check out the review of Nosound on this site (you'll also find some samples to listen to). If I understood correctly what music you listen to, then you really should take a look. Furthermore, there’s a project by Sylvian called Nine Horses which has a good review on this site. Bye Mari... and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Very interesting. Could you include some samples?

David Sylvian Everything and Nothing

Apnea... diving within oneself... the world suspended and time frozen. Sylvian's music halts the passage of time rather than marking it. Sylvian's music is free from human concerns; it is a direct contact with the created without elevating itself to creator, yet aware of being a magnificent creature.

Sylvian is a splendid interpreter of a personal asceticism that few chosen authors possess (in literature, Tiziano Terzani comes to mind, for example). Never inclined to the market and fascinated by harmony with the "created." His projects need to be "digested" because what emerges is a harmony that clashes with daily reality. Sylvian meditates on silence, on slowness, on whispers where music proposes screams, speed, and anger. The song of the cricket against the roar of the caterpillar! The lost paradise, the quiet harbor. I agree with Sfascia carrozze on your last statement, but I still find the review interesting. As for the album... well... I already know that I will bless the money I intend to invest in it.

Damn, you really are unwell... but that's how I like you... and I'm not gay www.corriere.it/speciali/veline2002 /index.shtml... brilliant review! The album is exceptional... and yet I agree that some more words wouldn't hurt. But you still get a 5 :)

Hi Hal, impeccable review of an author I'm not familiar with. For me, a pop must is Rufus Wainwright, but I have the feeling that this CD is quite different. The album cover is definitely eye-catching, and I confess that if it were just based on that, buying it would become a priority! But I’ll wait for a few more opinions before considering it... you know how it is... I have a mortgage to pay :)

PS: try listening to Sig V, Nosound, and Klimt 1918 (you can find the reviews on this site along with some samples to listen to). While Litfiba were raking in the cash, small groups with passion and talent were producing rock gems on the Italian scene. Don't miss out :)

Litfiba Terremoto

A record that adds little to a glorious past but remains sadly anchored to the first 4 albums: Eneide, Desaparecido, Litfiba 3, and 17 re. Terremoto confirms the banality of el diablo in the lyrics and music. If I had to compare the production of Litfiba to a pathology, I would say they suffer from Alzheimer’s (that is, a progressive and lethal regression). This album suffers from a lack of ideas (as do the upcoming albums and the solo efforts of Renzulli and Pelù). It’s sad to say that Litfiba in four CDs had already expressed everything they could say. Kudos to Maroccolo, who has never sought easy profit. I'm sorry, Bleak, but for me, it's a hatchet job. Bye :)

Indeed, it's really a shame that they disappeared. This record is genuinely tough, political, and strongly protest-oriented (vehemently against the war, at the time in the former Yugoslavia).... "the image of the child learning to play where the ground trembles" is terribly evocative. A very hard record, but, alas, relevant.
