Lucio Battisti Io Tu Noi Tutti

I didn't understand your note on "Con il Nastro Rosa"... are you referring to an indirect "commercialization" of the product that made it become an overplayed record on the radio? Please explain. About LBICE, it's a controversial issue; the record is not perfect in terms of sound clarity because, as the title suggests, it brings the focus back to "making music" more than anything else, with a more handcrafted and "provincial" execution of tracks like "Io ti Venderei" and "La Compagnia," indeed. Anyway, we will have the opportunity to discuss this album more deeply when the review by Deb comes out, which we will eventually take care of in case of a prolonged absence :). Regarding this album, an anecdote: the unforgettable Ivan Graziani, a musician on Lucio's previous LP, would later reveal in an interview that the recording of ITNT was supposed to take place in Italy, which as we know did not happen, with Battisti sneakily introducing an unexpected group of American musicians...

From here comes my judgment on the lack of "too relevant insights" in this album, just as in the one you mentioned "La batteria, Il contrabbasso..."

No, no, no, Bogus. "Una Donna per Amico" is, in my opinion, musically more valid, with the stunning jazz and blues of "Prendila Così" and "Nessun Dolore," not to mention the delightful visual frescoes like "Perchè No" and "Aver Paura di Innamorarsi Troppo." It's definitely more accessible than "Io Tu noi Tutti," I won’t deny that. Even less immediate is "Una Giornata Uggiosa," an album that is gloomy in its title, its content, and the now imminent breakup between B and M: while it's less accessible than "Una Donna per Amico," it is memorable in some performances like the title track and the absolute masterpiece "Con il Nastro Rosa;" therefore, ultimately, in my opinion, it’s the masterpieces that highlight a quality that might be latent in the album, a quality that clearly surfaces in this record due to the resonance of its pieces, but which is generally a quarter of a point below that of UDPA.

Guys, you flatter me. You know, I am a man of arms and of clubs. And with that, I don't want you to misunderstand.

Well done, Bogus. This album opened the doors to a type of Battisti-style musical experimentation that would give rise to the two subsequent Mogol works, alongside "E già" and the later Panella pieces. The result is good, although it doesn’t present overly significant highlights, even if it remains impeccable: of great impact is "Ho un anno di più," among the tracks you didn't mention, and "L' interprete di un film," featuring our artist's splendid vocal distortions. It seems to me that we are well on our way to covering quite a bit of Battisti's discography; indeed, you’ve given me the cue to review one of Lucio's most underrated and visionary masterpieces soon, that phenomenal album from 1970...

I am super passionate about football and tennis; in fact, I watched Federer on TV just yesterday as he, as mentioned, beat that poor unfortunate loser Kiefer. I mentioned the movie, I quote the phrase, but I Kosmo, am an ambassador, eh? :)
"In Italy under the Borgias, there were thirty years of wars, terrors, assassinations, massacres, but they gave rise to phenomena like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, there reigned brotherly love and five hundred years of peace and democracy. And what did they produce? Cuckoo clocks." Welles, "The Third Man," 1947

Ah, it seemed to me that YOU were in a moment of self-harm from a midlife crisis... indeed, the jokes of the Italian language! In fact, it seemed strange to me that you were that old :)

Switzerland and the Swiss always bring to mind a famous quote by Welles in The Third Man by Reed, which I've already mentioned in another discussion... better not to quote it! :) Federer is indeed a very human and approachable person: unlike the champions of the past like Connors, McEnroe, Agassi, Becker, and others, he shows an exceptional friendliness towards journalists and public relations, which is why I fully agree with Ege's assessment.
