Right, even The Cage! I end up listening to them again these days...

Pseudo workaholic, that's right. If I don't put myself in check, messer Sfascia, things are going to go downhill here. Back to the necessary tasks. My hard-earned regards (what a mess, antzichenò)

I feel like I've seen you before, miss. Shall we stop for a tea during the walk?

Symbad, did you finally get the coffee corrected with sambuca? You totally earned it during that lunch break. You’re tireless and always effective, once again hitting the target. The mp3s from the site are beautiful, really beautiful.

Ah, right, Gabbox, it was "No Tears" that I have on a vinyl which also contains "Scream With a View" and not "Room with..", of course!!!

I'm glad, Stoopid, that you limited yourself to these few and expressive lines. I don’t know if I could have handled "lo strappar da budella". :))) – A lesson (for me) in synthesis and communication. This is public service. – On his site, you can listen to some samples and read comparisons to Tindersticks and Mojave 3, as well as to the "dark romanticism" of Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave's lyrics. It is also discovered that, among others, the album features collaboration with that Sandro Perri (Polmo Polpo), one of the two creators of Glissandro '70. How big and how small Canada is....

While I’m at it: on the musician's website (www.royharper.co.uk) there’s the entire discography and, for each album, samples of every song. The quality of the sound and the arrangements can be sensed even from those few seconds. Great suggestion, Morningstar.

You are right, Messer Sfascia: I am uncertain about the translation of the title... - Morning star, in case we will make sure to look for it, I think. - Welcome back, it's been a while since we last read you, it seems.

I want to jump into the conversation you're having to highlight the absolute distance between two great bands, on completely opposite sides. Tuxedomoon were the European soul of a certain American "new wave," and, as Philip rightly points out, were connected from the very beginning to a "multimedia" and, in a way, "literary" vision of music. That crazy guy Wiston Tong played some role back then. They often stayed in Italy, perhaps some of them are still here, I can't remember... I confess I was a true devotee of these gentlemen in the early years. I saw them live a couple of times. However, I believe that, like many other groups, their first EPs and albums (Room with a View, Half Mute, and Desire) are their most significant legacy. I haven't listened to the latest one (I think it was called "Cabinet in The Sky") and I've heard conflicting opinions – One thing I didn't understand, Philip: is it the soundtrack of some show or movie, or does the term soundtrack in the title indicate something else?

A long time ago, you spoke to me about "falling in love" as an impetus to start writing music again. I wonder how much the appearance of that stunning creature influenced you (but have you seen that photo on MySpace?). I’ve heard traces of a "technological" India Arie in the songs available online. I like it; I’ll try to get to know her. The way she understands and produces music only plays further in her favor. Not even a flaw in this queen? Hi, Gab.
