Maradona remains the greatest player in history (and by greater, I don’t mean stronger; it’s a different nuance) because he represented the magic and contradictions inherent in the world of football. He was loved even for his limitations and excesses, despite everything. The allure of the champion, the number 10, is unique. Pelé was not a pure 10, and he always seemed too perfect. It’s more difficult (unfortunately) to get attached to worker roles (midfielders) and martyrs (goalkeepers). Someone might tell me: loved despite what he did? This is football, I repeat. Then there are examples of great champions who were loved, soon forgotten and despised, and only later did people find themselves loving them again after they shot themselves. The words Diego says about the semi-final of Italy '90 and the first Neapolitan scudetto are very strong, and I feel I share them. P.S. The most beautiful goal he scored? Napoli-Juventus 85-86, the legendary two-man free kick in the box. Find me another player who scores in that way, and we’ll talk about it again.

I thank everyone who attended for the esteem received. Now I'll respond. @Jake, I was referring to that period, back in '76. I know Tavolazzi is very active around Italy, and I even had the chance to see him in concert when he passed through Brescia. @Messer Sfascia, what would Demetrio say? In my opinion, he would have deepened those insights he had in his time; he did see the lack of a musical culture but also the erroneous approach of certain artists (think P.F.M.) to their historical period. @Punisher, do you allow me to be upset about the comparison with Pezzotta :-). Anyway, I admit I was a little worried about the dimension, but I felt like doing it this way. It's a silly motivation, though... @Brat, Paloz has already spoken. The first, "Arbeit Macht Frei," is ideal for understanding whether to fall in love with Area or not. In any case, I invite you to also listen to the latest studio album, "Gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano." It's an album I appreciate a lot, but it's often judged with controversial opinions. @Macaco, when I write music reviews, I don't indulge in certain reflections. In fact, I try to be fairly schematic and focus on the essential elements of an album. On the other hand, if asked for a political or social reflection, I am inherently marked by a strong disenchantment, although I still maintain an idealistic veneer. I try to make it as transparent as possible. @Defender, certain projects are theoretically supposed to last a short time, but certain words from Demetrio stick with me, where he said he was a guinea pig to help understand the inherent potential of the vocal instrument. From what he did, however, valuable scientific research emerged. It's not just music. @Paloz and Senzastile, what about the vote? As a convinced lover of Area, I say that not all albums deserve the maximum; overall, yes. For this album, I didn't feel like giving a rating due to the peculiarity of the recording; perhaps for "Are(a)zione" or one of the live albums released posthumously, it’s easier to express that kind of judgment.

Wow! A review about them just came out and I totally missed it! You deserve a 5 just for knowing them.

I don't remember who recommended it to me, but it's not the first time I've heard someone sing praises for the gentleman in question. I believe the time has come to find out more.

It's been a whole day that I've been trying to find some revelation about this album and I can't. Maybe it's because it doesn't have that many striking elements. It could have been better.

It seems somewhat unfair to give this film 3 stars, especially since I don't agree with the main criticism you've made. It's a film that serves as a denunciation, without a doubt, and it takes on a brilliant quality precisely because it incorporates a comic and almost grotesque undertone. In this way, a negative situation is masterfully filtered and made accessible to a broader audience as well.

Good, concise, and precise review

McLaughlin's first is extraordinary; undoubtedly, this one loses out in comparison, but the gap isn't so clear-cut. We're still talking about a brilliant guitarist.

Kraut-Rock is a melting pot of many things; it's not simply a copy of Zappa or a revival of psychedelic bands (there weren't only the Pink Floyd, for crying out loud). Honestly, I go against the tide and don’t consider Faust IV their best; in fact, when looking at their first four albums as a whole, it seems that IV, while more than deserving, has some elements that leave me perplexed. Maturity? It's not always that better things come with it, assuming there is such a thing.

Not these! They are truly embarrassing. One is enough.
