Gino Vannelli Brother To Brother

18 mar 06

Voto:

Dear Fagen85, I can only fully agree with what has been said and reviewed about this work. Indeed, Vannelli reached full maturity with "Brother..." and subsequently solidified it (and concluded it, for that period) with "Nightwalker". The examination of the titles is also good, although not very in-depth, which is not necessarily a flaw, given the genre. Just one note: between "Feel like Flying" and "Wheels of Life" there should be.... "Brother To Brother" (the composition, I mean...); where did it go in the review? Moreover, it's not an insignificant track, as you well know..... Best regards and a nice medal!

For Fischerle: I just re-read what you wrote and I greatly appreciate the "meticulousness," so to speak, of the detail; however, I must confess that after 5 or more months, Waters' work has, unfortunately, fallen into oblivion for me. I feared this might happen and it is happening.... . Perhaps I have better things to listen to..... . Regards.

An album that I would even define as essential, at least for me; I listen to it periodically (just like the others by Fagen & Becker) and it’s always beautiful.

I have always taken seriously the way and perspective you have when reviewing what you've reviewed; so you have already been helpful to me, and for that I can only thank you, Miki. Also for your opinion on the album with Coverdale. Thanks again, man.

I return the "courtesy" to Precisino by reiterating that the albums he mentioned are indeed "must-haves" from that period (personally, I would put "A Pauper in Paradise" at the top); since we’re at it, let’s also include one of the early ones, "Powerful People," and the last good one, "Nightwalker." Then, as noted by Precisino, the darkness of the '80s culminated in the incredible flop of "Black Cars" and the just decent "Big Dreamers never sleep." For those interested, there is documentation of Vannelli's live performances from the '70s on an old Warner VHS tape.

for Blackcrow: I would really love to review "Brother...." and I'm flattered that you thought of me. Instead, I pass the ball back to you: I'm currently overwhelmed, so I have full confidence that you will provide a brilliant examination of that masterpiece. I'm counting on it!

Indeed, if we truly wanted to give credit to the Great Vannelli, the live performance in question might not be the best way to do so. If we add a brief review distilled from a scarcity of time and/or topics, it may raise the doubt that for the uninitiated, Vannelli could easily continue to be a nobody. What a shame, truly; Vannelli has penned some of the most beautiful musical pages of the late 70s, and with "Slow Love" and "Yonder Tree," he has recently significantly raised his stock. Shall we say it to give him the credit he deserves?

The review and the reflection, although lengthy, are not bad at all. The album has its highs and lows (let’s say 60 and 40). Gilmour is old, nostalgic, romantic, and melancholic (and it’s not hard to perceive that). The uproar generated by the review is noteworthy, so I deduce that there’s still something to say on the matter. I haven’t read the other review of OAI. I’ll make sure to catch up. For sure, and I say this as a lover of Floyd and Gilmour, it’s not one of those albums, however nice, that we felt was missing. Side note: I was a bit perplexed regarding Hal's loss of aplomb in relation to the "misunderstanding" with Primiballi.
