Hello Sfascia, great proposal. I'll try to throw the name into the computer and see what comes up. Please stop writing like a phony alternative loser... and write like Duane. Duane the Supreme!! Regards, plenty of fake alternatives!!

...thank you Aniel, Boredom, and QZ. I highly recommend the album to you. If you know a bit about CR, their story and their music, I hope you can "immerse" yourself even more in the review... even though I’m aware that it's not a typical review. It's an atypical review that still talks about music, attitude, and how an album is "made."
If you pay attention, dear Duane, the words in bold can also relate to that thing called music. Do you want me to tell you about CR’s music?? I have no desire or intention to do so. I hope those who know the band and their music have understood what they needed to understand. Others will read and comment positively or criticize, as you are doing. You are free to do so. But I invite you not to speak of censorship and not to label people as "alternatives for the sake of it." But who do you know? Who are you? What do you want? Who gives you the right, besides your extraordinary intelligence, to say that someone who writes something like this is or wants to seem an alternative for the sake of it? You know what I do with being alternative??? With being alternative, I do nothing at all. And if being "alternative for the sake of it" and NOT talking about music means writing by pulling out emotions evoked by music, and trying to experiment... to draw a parallel between an old friend (the band, the artist) and the new album (CD or LP) seeing it as a return... well, I may be "alternative for the sake of it," but you, my dear, are quite "limited"!!!
...all I can say is...if the review is crap, your comment is no better...also because... Mr. Duane, even if only a little, it takes a bit of insight to draw a parallel between an album and the history of a musical group. Taking an album, talking about music as you would in an informal letter to an acquaintance, to a friend... considering a band's comeback like meeting a friend after a decade and telling them how you see them again... Maybe this review is off track, maybe I made a mistake regardless... but you know, I’m more than convinced that between a not-a-review like this, written with a certain spirit and "modus operandi," and a classic "not-an-alternative-for-the-sake-of -it" (??!!) "review that talks about music," there’s a beautiful difference—perhaps even in sensitivity and willingness to communicate, which, judging from your comments, you seem to lack.
Your problems!! Signed, someone who pretends to be alternative for the sake of it and doesn't talk about music.

So, as you've noticed, this is a review-non review. But for those who love CR, I think perhaps you understand and I hope you share the spirit.
For anyone interested in a "technical" comment... well, I can only say that with this album, CR returns to sound like a band, and what a sound!! It's a record entirely played with bass, guitar, and drums, splendid in its simplicity, with very little electronic influence—almost absent—and it's fantastic to realize that by almost wanting to forgo it, they sound damned modern and electronic even though they aren’t. Beautifully arranged, masterfully produced by CR, Howie B, and Mr. Mauro Pagani.
Milan-London as usual but not usual, flows from East and West mix and chase each other. For me, they hit the nail on the head. I'm happy. Today, while writing the review, I had just brought the CD home, and next to me was only the cover of Crx and the record spinning in the player. The words came out just as the music flowed from the speakers. Simply stunning... once again, they move forward and sound modern, but with a distinctly Italian touch, proving that great music doesn't only come from the US and UK.
Buy it.
Thank you so much for the comments so far... Birbabirba, you make me blush :)
Liquid words, I understand you very well, and thank you so much for the other comment on their other album I reviewed. As for King... I really don’t know; on one hand, I believe that CR will still do great, of course, Giuliano's voice was and is an added value... on the other hand, I also think that perhaps Giuliano wanted to focus only on himself, maybe overestimating himself a bit... anyway, I don't know, you know how they say everyone is useful, no one indispensable.
Hi everyone. Logically, the album gets 5 stars! Yes!!!

...that's how it is...for a couple of weeks I only listened to their live performances and then I read a good number of bios, hello!

Heard, but as someone said about the plans above... the other one was perhaps more convincing.. anyway, some versions are really beautiful!

...beautiful, I'm listening to them right now.

Hi Third Eye, it's very mildly sweet, just a few passages here and there... but it still gives you that feeling. If you take my advice, I would say to give it a listen. Haloa!

DavejonGilmour:F***ed!
...and then certain music, the images of your life will never be able to accompany it, especially this album that was released after '77.

Josi, can I lean it on you too??!?!

...... yes, you never stop learning... DeBaser has a social utility, I've always known it :)
