The mystery is solved, having found the cd of the original soundtrack. So, the original songs are by Stevie Wonder, while the original score is by Blanchard.

Great recommendation from a musician I had already noted down after watching the beautiful "25th Hour." P.S. Among the soundtracks of Spike Lee's films that you attribute to Blanchard, I would remove "Jungle Fever," which, as you may recall, is by sir Stevie Wonder.

An album that I've bought at least three times, a couple of times on vinyl and just recently in a CD reissue. As nick65 already mentioned, "Heartbeat" is a wonderful album and a beautiful track, I agree, moving on. I'm surprised you didn't mention "Diabaram" by and featuring Youssou 'Ndour, which for me is the best track along with "Amore," the one that starts with "Good morning, good evening where are you...," if I'm not mistaken. Another shared listen, I've lost count by now. ;-)

Dude, by adding the adjective "musical" to encyclopedia, you've narrowed it down a lot and imply that you don't consider Wikipedia as a whole something to throw in the trash (as I had understood). Regarding the issue of "it being wrong to do it," it seems to me that your aseptic, filing cabinet method is not without pitfalls, and it's not all that simple (who to include? who to give more space to?). Musical encyclopedias are always the product of the culture and tastes of the editors, which intersect with established critical judgments and the, I apologize for the term, climate of that historical moment in which it is compiled. It works with pop music in a way not too different from the story of art, especially contemporary art.

Mine was a joke, paraphrasing a famous line from Bogart in his movie "The Last Convict," but evidently, it went over your head. I also have my doubts about Wikipedia. However, I think you'll agree that delivering a judgment like that on an experience like this seems at least reckless and, all in all, incorrect. Especially since it appears there's no way to edit that entry. Then tell me, which encyclopedia can be written with the criteria you've outlined and, if necessary, with the guitarists you consider the best. :-)

It's democracy, beauty! :-))

Thank you for the visit, Andrea. I'm particularly pleased that you enjoyed it. I was sure we would discover some common passions.

An album that I hold dear and believe is worth more than 4 stars. I dare to say that, in my opinion, it is essential to understand the evolution of New Order. P.S. For the genre, it could have just been (electro)pop+dance.

Dear Ing. Maramaldos, I have worked in those areas recently, precisely during the hottest period. The issue you raise deserves to be examined in all its less than edifying facets. However, there are certain facts that cannot be called into question. The territory of Acerra, and that megalopolis in the northern province of Naples, is one of the most polluted areas in Italy; the System, as Roberto Saviano calls it, has made waste its main business, infiltrating at all levels from collection to disposal; the institutions and administrations of every political color are almost always inept, unable to tackle "the loose threads"; the populations, for their part, often take rigid positions, sometimes wrongly, often rightly, believing, given the recent past, that someone wants to "do them a disservice." That said, long live Avitabile, whom I have seen somewhat revived in recent times, fortunately.

We are peers, then. On the fact that a lot has happened in music and that it’s good not to remain, like some of our friends, stuck in a mythical golden age, we couldn’t agree more. After all, if you’ve taken a superficial look at what I write about, you’ll have realized that I am not a "nostalgic." But I believe that all this has little to do with Fagen. He has deliberately chosen, from the very beginning, a model of music that is very resistant to modernisms, with an evolution that is almost imperceptible. It's a bit like telling someone who plays blues today that it's anachronistic. I understand that Fagen no longer excites you; you’re in large and good company, but allow me to say that perhaps he never completely “grabbed” you; you never truly loved him.
