Walk On Fire - Crime Of Loving You

It was 1989, the apex (and vertical drop point) of an unforgettable period.
We post here, for future reference (if memory has a future), the luxurious track of an exceptional English combo, with a superb Alan King delivering an outstanding vocal performance. The guitar contributions are impeccable, and the keyboard riff is straight out of the tales of a thousand and one nights.
Crime and love intertwine once again, sending every fearless chic rocker into ecstasy.

Heartland Paper Heart subtitulado

A swan song of a courteous style, oxymoronically well anchored to the '80s yet not diachronically reducible to a selected eon.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Save Our Love (HQ)

Who dares to assert that Malmsteen lacks "feeling"?

Francesco Bianconi - L'Abisso (Official Video)

Genius lyrics, melody and melodic-industrial breaks par excellence. But let's focus on one detail: the immediate source could also be the filthy de Andrade -- as the globalist mainstream asserts -- but the remote one (deeper, more preconscious) is the more carefree Simone Salvatori from "Black Hearts for Black Suits".

La sedia di lillà - Alberto Fortis

If it had been written by the vile serenader de Andrade -- of whom only the ominously irregular face and possibly apocryphal abduction are remembered -- everyone would be bowing before the icon of Don Gallo...

Primo Maggio Di Festa (2006 Digital Remastered)

Aside from being essentially a wholesale pain in the ass, Lolli was pathetically confused, as he admits himself in the heartrending repeated verse, preceded by a sinister flute and followed by a philosophizing tenor sax. This piece, with its jazz setting and a cheeky thalasso-Caribbean aftertaste, remains the classic masterpiece for a lazy Sunday. May the earth rest lightly upon you, oh you who understood nothing in life and now are dazzled by the vision of the One.

Jesus and Mary Chain-Taste the Floor

Talented Scottish rascals who, aside from inaugurating the ephemeral season of languid shoegaze, became the source of the most clownish band of all time.
