Really nice, you made me think of the improvisations of Yeti, Amon Düül II... does it fit?

all very shareable. I haven’t heard much from him since, but the albums from Ziggy onwards to Heroes didn’t blow me away. The glam(ourous) productions and sounds, in my opinion, somewhat undermine the effectiveness of his ideas. Perhaps the aura of being a "media icon" is a bit overwhelming for me, but he’s certainly not the dud that some critics want us to believe he is. But hey, it’s all a matter of taste.

the cover is among the worst of 2011, and there are no new releases from iron maiden this year..

embarrassing texts, sometimes even a bit funny. Vocally and musically quite terrible.

In my opinion, it's not bad at all. A solid three; if it were in tenths, it would be almost a 7. The problem, I believe, lies in those "experimental" sounds that are raw, not particularly reinterpreted. Warp-house beats and various noise elements are used in a way that is anything but "emotional," and I'm not sure if that was intentional. Separator, on the other hand, is really nice. Great melody.

Great review. The CCCP have nothing to envy from the English and perhaps even American post-punk; their imagery is unique and goes far beyond our borders, even though it is precisely those borders, Emilia and the relationship between ideas and utopias with the reality of the time, that make them so "strong." But aren't they being a bit forgotten now?

I quote you in full the first paragraph. I should retrieve the eagle from them (or avoid it, who knows) before hearing this. I won't be at the concert, my sausage-loving soul prefers that of the revived Kyuss.

the votes :) la crus: 6.5 al bano: 2 nathalie: 4 giusy ferreri: 3.5 vecchioni: 5- anna oxa: 6.5 barbarossa: 3 modà: 0 pravo: 4- pezzali: 2 van de sfroos 5.5 tatangelo: 1

And this year I've seen practically everything. It's nice, if nothing else, to appreciate a slightly more sober hosting than usual, even if Gianni Morandi's nostalgia moments are a bit touching (and incredibly boring). I don't agree with a lot of the votes, but I would add a nice "who cares." The "best" pieces, in my opinion, remain Oxa's song alongside La Crus's (which could have won, given its Sanremo-flavored melody and arrangement) - the Modà, whom I'd never heard of before, almost made me angry. The lyrics and music are criminal, and his voice is among the worst I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. 40% of the final votes could easily be Berlusconi's supporters. Vecchioni's win only makes sense in light of the horrific final trilogy, but his song is sung terribly, has an unspeakably rhetorical text, and is quite musically inconsistent: it’s the usual crescendo that explodes in all-Italian pathos drowned in the most pompous orchestral accompaniment. (Better with PFM, who, however, by adding flourishes, emphasize even more the melodic poverty of the piece).

I read the review, and I think I have an idea about the album. Too lazy to download it, even though I sometimes hear things just because they’re getting a lot of attention.
