Using a detail to recover an overview is probably a fun exercise, as is attempting to define the present or future of a musical "genre," even broadening the scope to definitive hypotheses about the fate of the planet. A bit daring, but entertaining. And for me, always instructive, as well as pleasant, given the quality of the eloquence. - I don’t know what kind of possible revolution was underway in '77, even if judges and "law enforcement" believed I should be aware of it, like many others, after all. But it’s a complex topic, and this isn't the space for it. One question, however, while reading you, I can’t help but ask: if instead of seeing in this album the abortion of a possible "revolution," I only perceived yet another declension, among many possible ones, of a series of codes that have settled in "rock" (whose substantial belonging to the realm of commodities should have long been evident) giving rise to a predictable germination of yet another trend, no more and no less than what happened twenty years ago or ten, or what will happen in six, perhaps I misjudged the listening. <Perhaps I was wrong back then in not finding the album in question at all "revolutionary" and today in not finding it particularly "emblematic" of the weary reiteration of this music (once scandalous, now rather dull) from which I have not expected, for a long time, any kind of "revolution." - One thing I share without ifs or buts: Mongolian music is quite fun, and that of Tuva even more so (Kongurei).

I don't know this album either and I'm very surprised that it's from '81. I got to know them with "Tribes, Vibes and Scribes" from '92, it seems to me. And these samples seem tasty... Always good tips, Giorgio.

TOO SHORT THIS REVIEW! Just kidding, I really enjoyed it. I don't know this album but I have no doubt it sounds different from any "greatest hits collection," knowing the Don C.

Come on, what deficit! And what excuses, come on. Instead, I'm glad you share the approach to this deMondo, under the serene gaze of my favorite horned one. I'll see you around on DeB. And write new reviews, come on.

Psycho, tenderness I said. No, nothing ridiculous, nothing pathetic. Yes, that sort of naivety. But I believe this doesn't only concern rock music. It's like the lost naivety of a world that back then perhaps could, to some extent, still afford it. Anyway, I’ll take care of this. Thank you and bye bye.

Anyway, it makes me feel a bit of tenderness to listen to certain sounds, to almost feel a certain spirit that has now definitely vanished materializing...

Well, listening to the sempols is exactly what I expected to hear while reading the page. Better than this!

P.S. I wrote the ode to the bovine. But I believe that Gabbox sees things more or less the same way :)

Paolo, I keep getting notifications about comments on your review, so I went back to read your exchange of opinions. I also believe that Hex should be an excellent listen, better than the latest Bark P. – I’ve listened to the two Necks albums you reviewed several times and I think I can say that, while both are great records (exactly for the nature you describe), Drive By has some moments that capture me more. But it’s a close race. If I think of any albums that I think might interest you, I'll drop by to let you know. Bai bai

You bring back a band that I may have never heard of, but whose name I’ve come across several times. And you do it well. Not that you overdo it and throw in some samples, right? Thanks - Campagna Samples 2006 -
