Did you just have to write to him??? What a story! Easy, could you do me a favor: could you pass me, if you have it, Albini's email address? I have 5 (no, 5000) questions to ask him...

Yes Alfo, that's exactly what I meant too: the countryside as "a place of the mind, memory, and soul."

"...dark, rainy lands, uncultivated, made even more gloomy by the clouds and the minimal sunlight..." Well... I still feel puzzled... it rarely rains in winter and the sun doesn't fail... who knows, maybe I'm just a terrible meteorologist... ;-D

Really nice comment, Geenoo...You see that when you put your mind to it, you make a great impression...Just one thing: how can the countryside be black in winter?? If anything, it will be white... :-)

In my area, there's a lot of countryside... In the summer, I take my mountain bike in the afternoon and enjoy nice rides through the fields, among bales of hay, tractors, farmers... Now, for a couple of years, there's also a riding school: at certain moments, it really feels like being in Texas or Tennessee, or rather in Alabama ("Sweet home..."), in short, in the Deep South of the States... When I finish my healthy ride, I return randomly, hop in the shower, and then I put some good southern rock into the stereo... Allman Brothers mostly... All of this to say that, indeed, beyond any stereotype or easy comparison, the countryside (whether it's Padana or Texan) automatically connects to the imagery evoked by the "Southern" bands of the 70s...

@ Enea: if you say so, I trust you... ;-) (also to avoid getting tangled up in another discussion like the one about Mister Nico's trembling uvula :-DDD). @ Ajeje: "he himself declared to be completely tone-deaf" <<< mmm, modest guy... :-P (Yeah, anyway we got each other...)

In my humble opinion, "Throne of Agony" is one of the most majestic and wicked tracks of all time; "Descent into the inferno" is pure genius; the only track that doesn't convince me 110% is perhaps the last one, maybe a bit too self-indulgent and pompous... But the album, overall, remains a masterpiece...

Far from being eclectic, Thomas's voice?? Are we kidding?? Who else (aside from Cave and a few others) can go from a grunt to a falsetto in the blink of an eye? Go listen to side A of "Dub Housing," and then we'll talk... It's also to artists like Thomas that we owe the introduction of that "aesthetic of the ugly" in rock singing, understood not as "not being able to sing" (because good old David can sing, indeed! and without missing a note!), but as "singing in an unpleasant register to convey feelings of anguish and neurosis"... IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SING PERE UBU'S SONGS!
