I would strongly recommend, if you adore Rino, to get his entire discography, and considering that each CD now costs about 10 euros, I don't think it's an exorbitant expense. And he deserves it. I would mention another great song not included in the collection for obvious space reasons: L'Operaio della Fiat (la 1100) on Ingresso Libero (his first album).

Well yes, I also think it truly deserves it, and it doesn't seem exaggerated to me what was written in the music magazines—that an album by the Stones this good hasn't been heard since Tattoo You. The Stones have returned to doing their thing, the one that suits them best. It’s repeated what happened back in '67 when they stopped imitating the Beatles with albums like Between the Buttons and Aftermath and released Honky Tonk Woman. From then on, they produced their masterpieces, from Beggars Banquet to Sticky Fingers.

Ale, you’re great, let me say it. I agree with everything you say. HR has pushed things a bit too far, or they have lost their way.

I'm sorry, but I completely agree with Sylvian. An album needs to resonate within you; it must convey something. This one, after repeated listening, is one of those that gets stored away and piled up among the others. I admired the courage of an album like Kid A, which I occasionally pull out, and that’s fine, but after that... it seems like they are searching for a path that is not yet defined, it feels like they are still facing the dilemma: do we follow the path of Kid A or do we return to OK Computer? Perhaps the Sigur Rós are proving to be more innovative, as they are completely free from patterns and truly do what they feel; their latest work is spectacular and they have surpassed Radiohead, just as Cesena did with Rimini yesterday.

I wanted to thank you all, the most beautiful thing is knowing that in a way we are a bit of a community of people who think more or less the same way. Well, this morning I feel very much like everybodybrotherandsister. Anyway, really especially among the latest reviews (Hal never misses a beat...:)) there are some truly interesting records. Now Sylvian, you brought up Alanis for a reason. I also thought of a possible heir to King, with that graceful style but supported by a good dose of soul, and I immediately thought of Morrisette with that beautiful debut. But who else? Tori Amos? Well, she seems to have a bit of interior demons. Maybe Norah Jones, although after a while her pop jazz doesn't really evolve anymore. Go ahead, share your thoughts. Well, Rickie Lee Jones seems interesting to me, even though I admit I know her little. Speaking of the old songs by the Goffin/King duo, this morning I heard a version of "Some of Your Lovin'" sung by the legendary Dusty Springfield; well... chills, chills, chills. By the way, I would recommend it as a piece to start the day. Greetings to everyone.

I fully agree rockman, you are worthy of your name.

..thank goodness I mastered it. It sucks.

I literally adored the first album. They get really angry about it, but I definitely feel the Jesus & Mary Chain. However, the second one, as I mentioned on a forum, seems thrown together, without a clear direction. They do protect rock 'n' roll and highlight its instinctive and primal aspect, but a bit of good intention in the tracks is better to include. Oh no?
Then I would like to respond to that fool who thinks that anything related to Springsteen doesn't interest him. It has definitely worn me out too, but it was a way to reference a great musician and songwriter. Now, whether it annoys you or not means nothing to anyone, but try to understand the sense of what is written…

More than anything, I meant the fact that Rino never openly took a political stance unlike the singer-songwriters of his time. This shouldn't be seen as cowardice; in his apolitical stance, Rino rejected party games, shady dealings, interests, all that garbage that has led our beautiful country astray to the disgrace of these years.

Well done Hal, that trumpet is not easily forgotten. Aside from Marc Ribot, it's unlikely that Vinicio's records will reach any noteworthy instrumental peaks after this great performance.
