Sade Soldier Of Love

Hello Odra, I agree that the two "divas" belong to different worlds, but my point was about the media, that is, how they want to make them appear: the exotic charm, the sensual voice, the mystery, the absence from the music scene, etc. All factors "used" to sell a product. In reality, both ladies possess a charm and intelligence far superior to the "minds" of marketing that create starlets in abundance.

Sade is being sold as an icon when there is truly only one real icon, and her name is Grace Jones. In comparison, this one is a morning breeze; the panther is a real hurricane, just like her latest stunning album.

How beautiful it is! You're absolutely right... I confirm that in person at Sonar it left everyone breathless.

Air Live @ Bologna 22.01.10

It depends on what you expect from a concert. If you focus on the music produced live, in this case, the emotional impact was at its peak. If someone expects moves and gestures, of course, they will be disappointed. The beauty of Air lies precisely in this contrast. Apparently cold, essentially warm. And there wasn't a moment of weakness in a setlist that included almost the best of 15 years of productions. And there was even "How does it make you feel?"

Beautiful. And good for them for weaving together different works, all valid in their own way. I have a feeling that future generations will find these sound signals more convincing compared to some of the slightly overrated ones coming from across the Channel.

Clock DVA Thirst

Surgical analysis but effective even though it seems to me that the fulcrum of the DVA has always been Adi Newton. The record has no weak points and possesses a spleen even more poignant than the critically acclaimed Advantage. The cover (stunning) is by Neville Brody, the most influential graphic designer of the '80s.

Michele Mari Tu, Sanguinosa Infanzia

I can't read it. Since it talks about his childhood, he is the son of Enzo Mari, the most influential Italian designer of the last century (along with Munari). I prefer the books written by his father about work, like "Progetto e Passione" and "La valigia senza manico," which I recommend to anyone involved in communication. Rigorous, formal, and stern, I understand that having such a father may not have made for a simple (or happy) childhood.

DJ Krush - Toshinori Kondo Ki-Oku

Remarkable album. Very much in the "Laswell" style. Kondo shifts the enormous legacy of Miles Davis into dub territories, while Krush follows with the right devotion.

Ol' Dirty Bastard Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version

Look, Kosmo, there's not much to say, the guy was GZA, the "genius" who had just dropped Liquid Swords. Negotiating the price was a nightmare, and don’t even get me started on the ridiculous requests. In the end, he mumbled on stage for half an hour, his manager pocketed the 8 million, and they "fled" from the venue leaving 250 fans utterly disappointed. My point was to put things in the right perspective because nostalgia is a sneaky thing. And there's not much to say about American rap for me after Public Enemy (in evolutionary terms). In Italy, we experienced a great vibe with the mixed blood and the like, which is still nice to listen to because they were the peak of a dying movement.

And I had one of these guys in my car. So what? He got on stage dead drunk after two hours of waiting and sucked. So what? Are they cool for this? Seen from our latitude, this is exotic music because it tells a story that doesn't belong to us. I understand why Sangue Misto had double the audience in Italy compared to these guys.
