Federico Fiumani: one of the last great Italian poets, the quintessential poet of the local new wave. One of my favorite albums by Diaframma, alongside "tre volte lacrime" and the stunning "anni luce." What still amazes me, even after yet another listen to "Siberia," is that what impacts the listener most is primarily the power of the words rather than the sounds, and this is true even twenty years after the album's release. Great Sassolini and Fiumani, always and forever, even greater than Litfiba: where Diaframma created (and continue to create) art, Litfiba delivered folklore...

And you even ask me! Definitely chrome, ministry, and nin! Even though skinny puppy and 10000 homo djs are essential (just like suicide) if you like the US school of brave industrials...foetus? I only know him by name, but I’ll catch up (first I need to finish thoroughly exploring the discography of tortoise, which has little to do with industrial but is definitely experimental almost on par with cabaret voltaire, not reaching the genius of throbbing gristle, maggot death rules! :D)

the hole? I can't stand them; for me, they represent the most insincere and stereotyped thing that the States have ever spread around the world...

beautiful review for an amazing band. for me, one of the most striking albums I've ever listened to, just like "half machine lip moves" by chrome. p.s. pretazzo perfect as usual.
