Lucio Battisti Don Giovanni

I don’t know, but this birthday shrimp that takes the protagonist back to a pharaonic childhood reminded me of the sled in Citizen Kane... then there are also allusions to never-shaken souvenir snow globes (Q.P. starts with a globe that breaks...)
Maybe these are just my projections...

So I’m really the only crazy visionary who has glimpsed in Mother Feather quotes from "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles?

Images is indeed quite atrocious, although the arrangement for the English version of the Song of the Sun isn't bad. Maybe it's because Io Tu Noi Tutti is the album I absolutely prefer from the 70s...

Heheh! In first place, I put Don Giovanni precisely because it's fresher and more heterogeneous. I loved the appearance a lot, even though I'm a bit tired of it now. Even La sposa occidentale has sounds that, after 15 years, seem a bit aged to me. So second place goes to CSAR!

To be honest, I had interpreted "what will she do again" as the pregnancy test she takes on the bed... there are also those who claim that she is raped in the elevator in the first part... who knows!

In my opinion, it’s a missed opportunity, considering the lackluster tracks on the second side. And then there’s a chasm between ashestoashes and any other song. I find Lodger much more interesting, which is rarely mentioned among his key albums...

Great review, dear Enea!
But why do you dismiss me like that E già? The first side is very nice, the second a bit less so, the lyrics, if nothing else, show a certain boldness...
Anyway, keep in mind that without E già, Don Giovanni wouldn't have existed either.
Incomprensibile Madre Pennuta? Perhaps... but certainly a masterpiece!

It is true, dear Eneathedevil, that Panella communicates through images. However, I have always seen CSAR as the least "hermetic" of Battisti's albums, and there are several scattered references in the lyrics that validate the thesis that it depicts a day from morning until late at night (from "the day is still sleepy but pretends to be an urgent midwife" to "three forty-five at night, sleep has suddenly gone away"); Panella enjoys masking and beautifying situations that are, in themselves, mundane...

On Battisti, in my opinion, there is a significant misunderstanding: that he is a singer-songwriter. His albums have always been true sound projects that, from time to time, captured the musical ferment of the era: just think of that indecipherable progressive-Latin American hybrid that is Anima Latina, the subsequent immersions into the disco rhythm of the following albums, or his take on the new wave with E già. Rather than a singer-songwriter, I would define him as a stylist of sounds.

Thank you, Zion! I'm glad you liked it! In fact, I've been feeding on Battisti post-Mogol practically since the release of Don Giovanni. It's just a shame about the Hegel misstep, which doesn't hold up against CSAR...
