De Gregori live is sometimes wonderful, sometimes irritating, but it is never banal. The new album is titled PEZZI and comes out tomorrow. It promises to be an album ready to be performed live. I will be going to the concert on May 21 in Milan, but in May he will also be in Palermo, Turin, and Rome. Il Cuoco di Salò is written by De Gregori, only the production is by Battiato. So it does not come from Battiato. Just like Canzone per l'Estate comes from Volume 8 by De André, where the general opinion is that the Genoese singer-songwriter was influenced to such an extent by De Gregori that he ended up singing like him. Therefore, if anything, there is much more De Gregori than De André in Canzone per l'Estate. Probably murmur you have been misled by incorrect or approximate information. The album is truly beautiful, the color is the red of good wine, of blood, of love.

x kosmogabri: roger-waters.com. this is the exact link to listen to the two tracks. You can also find the lyrics and the credits.

One could say it's a single, but I've only heard it online; I don't have the CD at home, and I haven't seen it around (I haven't really looked for it, to be honest). The songs talk about war; after all, with Roger Waters and the current international situation, what else could they be about? Most likely, the next album will also talk about war and politics.

You can still download both songs from the internet; until recently, they were on Waters' official website, but I don't know now—I haven't checked.

I didn't retract, I clarified. Perhaps the fervor with which I launched myself against this album confused my "overall" opinions. I stand with Gilmour regarding the human aspect of the situation, the whole story of the lawyers and the lawsuit to prevent Pink Floyd from continuing. And especially against the tyrannical regime of Waters' last years. From an artistic standpoint, however, I side with Waters. Let's say that ultimately both factions have something to rightfully complain about. Overall, it has been an embarrassing and somewhat sad affair.

well, the score is definitely 0/5... - 1 is not there!

But we're not crucifying the poor Roger here! And I'm not a Gilmour fan... who ever said that? It's a well-established fact regarding the merits of Gilmour and others for the Pink Floyd music, compared to Waters' raw ideas. I certainly prefer Amused to Death over The Division Bell, but that’s not the point. Even though he’s not a great musician (and by that, I didn’t mean to talk about his ability on the bass, so you can let Jaco rest in peace), he has always been the one to pull the cart and infuse soul into the post-Meddle Pink Floyd albums. It’s simply evident from these two songs that the lyrical fervor has remained unchanged (even if it has become a bit heavier), but the music has flattened out quite a bit. Amused to Death feels far away. I too await the album with hope, but also ready for a possible disappointment. If it’s not the case, I’ll rejoice with you... and maybe we’ll go see it in concert if it comes around here.
