They could have and they didn't, they would have but they didn't dare.
However, it's a great episode to keep in mind and dust off from time to time.
Well done.

Thank you for giving dignity, the dignity that is due, to a truly multifaceted Artist, whose productions have at times been questionable, to say the least, but more often our Artist has published works of such depth and variety that many wouldn’t even suspect it, stuck on Aiuonciorseccs or Feithh...
There’s little to say about his private life that hasn’t already been said, and then who cares.
I would really like to see if there’s a debate about his voice, modifiable at his will, as you point out, suited to blues, gospel, disco, pop, ballads... and it would have been nice, had he not left us, if someone had shown interest in jazz or something similar, as it all came so naturally to him that with a bit of study he would have given us some beautiful sounds... thank you.

Nothing wrong with being very biased, but I really don't get the sense of the phrase "Am I biased? Yes, very much so. And first, I put Reggata de Blanc right there, because..." Not even in a metaphorical, poetic, or extremely imaginative way. First things first? Well, okay then...

As for the album, nothing to say, except that during the height of the wave scene, it was a way to not take everything too seriously and to allow oneself to indulge in a rhythm that was a bit more varied and mixed than the classic "distorted guitar-bass-drums-shouting vocals" typical of early punk, while at the same time, not being so serious, composed, and utterly new like the New Wave that Ultravox! and Talking Heads promised to be... And at my age, the fact that I was sixteen when it came out and in the midst of a hormonal storm certainly contributes to nostalgically remembering albums like this one...

From what I can see, we're the same age, and you've unearthed the name of a band that, by God, I haven't heard mentioned in a good forty years. You did it with a review that is barely describable as concise; that's not necessarily a bad thing, but, for crying out loud, with such a summarizing effort, it's unclear—at least, I wouldn't understand—if I hadn't had the misfortune of knowing it already from listening, what the character of the work is or any of its specifics. A milestone?

Ah.

Well, I don't know what to say, maybe me and the brave @[Farnaby] could have written it (worse), in fact, maybe we should have, but that thick-headed hospital worker kicks back when it comes to writing reviews...
I can only say bravo, damn, you captured well the idea of what this state of mind can be, would be, could be, should be, this place of the heart which is the historic center of my city.
Then Conte, shall we talk about him? Someone who describes Duke Ellington as a "Great boxer, full of fans and silences" or who writes pieces like "Dancing," a painter borrowed by music, or the other way around, he doesn’t even know, a lawyer by trade but not one of those jobs you do with your heart, with his heart he placed ten fingers on the piano and into the microphone came a voice full of pauses, tones, rasping, coughing, and sighs.
Then, I mean, someone who knows what a lucardina is and is a foreigner... aside from the fact that in Genoa you’re a foreigner even if you’re from Genoa, it’s a city that is yours because you love it, even viscerally, because you were born there, because you live there, but you never truly own it.
And, to put it in De André's words, Genoa is beautiful, but to be remembered.
Bravo, what else, bravo...

"Gagarin" is the clearest and most incontrovertible evidence that one beautiful song, in life, happens to anyone who writes it. *One*, huh? It happened to him, to Giovanotti, to Antonacci, and even to that castrato Sangiorgi, indeed. Besides that, we must remember that the present, arrogant rooster has been polluting the national musical air for fifty years and more. And he takes pride in it.

You've really made me want to listen to Orbital again...

From "cojôns" onwards, I'm a bit lost...

Amen.
