I really like the gooey spinach in Bella di padella; in my opinion, they are the best. Then I don't know about you.

I love They Dance Alone, even though some people prefer other works by Amon Düül.

I am extremely curious and I can't wait to come back here to share my thoughts ;)

Gentlemen, GESUALDO DA VENOSA, remember. Buy, buy, buy. Or alternatively, download. Sciapò

True, Hermeneutics falls short here and there, reminding me of certain clichéd trivialities from the times of Povera Patria.

...Ferro Battuto, creaking here and there in its sometimes a bit kitschy pop, but often brilliant in its linguistic blends. Campi magnetici, little known and loved, is an example of experimental patafisical music of a certain level, structurally complex and full of facets. X Stratagemmi, a step forward compared to the latest "light" work, dense with interesting electronics (Apparenza e Realtà, I'm That) that projects Battiato into a space still unexplored by his more recent music. Ranking equally for Imboscata and Gommalacca, a notch below the Stratagemmi, a good placement for Campi magnetici, the least convincing Ferro Battuto along with L'Ombrello.

How beautiful, how beautiful, I hadn’t noticed that you had taken to the pseudoclassifications... wow, I really love them, really really. So, allow me to take an excursus on the Sgalambrian period of the Maestro. Let’s start with L'Ombrello e la Macchina da Cucire, so overlooked and criticized, an "acclimatization" record through which Sgalambro and Battiato test their knowledge in a melting pot of linguistically and literarily complex references: not very palpable, it's true, but the title track and the IMMENSE MASTERPIECE that is Gesualdo da Venosa remain pieces of the highest quality, a track I could listen to endlessly for its crystalline beauty... highly recommended. Then, L'Imboscata, which has already been much discussed, the rock opera that is most identifiable in the first three tracks of the album, Di Passaggio, Strani Giorni, and the already acclaimed La Cura, but it's also worth remembering the more meditative compositions like "Amata Solitudine," which give the album a varied virtue, magnificent. Gommalacca, with its murky rock, parallels the previous one, but is quite different, akin in its eclecticism.

Josello, you should have noticed by now that I complain less about little mistakes and the like, but if you're really missing me, here I am ready to sort things out: we're talking about assonances, as you know, but there's no trace of onomatopoeias, so I confirm your impressions and I'll catch you up next time... your beloved

I remember a completely female show by Spaak where a guest suddenly began to mock a piece of entertainment like "Clamori" (just a year after Cuccurucucu), accusing Franco of rambling without saying anything, having fun with words without wanting to make any sense at all. Well, Punisher, some might have something to say about that lightness that you praise so much, and perhaps they would prefer a more substantial yet straightforward Battiato than a record like this.

True, he peed outside the bowl. But not necessarily on this record.
