 Here Lolli strings together masterpiece after masterpiece in an LP that at the time (and more or less today) went completely unnoticed.

 A difficult but not hostile album because for those who love the genre, it can be listened to with pleasure even before fully digesting it.

Claudio Lolli’s 1988 self-titled album marks a pivotal transition from his earlier militant style to a mature, refined sound. The record empathetically captures themes of disillusion, survival, and societal critique set against precise and elegant melodies. Although initially overlooked, the album is now regarded as one of his most successful works. Its thoughtful lyrics and subtle arrangements make it accessible yet layered for deep listening. The cover art adds a curious visual element to this complex era of Lolli’s music. Dive into Claudio Lolli's 1988 masterpiece — a poetic journey through 80s Italian music and culture waiting to be rediscovered.

 Vasco has a truly extraordinary expressive power and sings (or screams) exactly as on the album, proving to be 'real' to the core.

 Three-quarters of an hour nonstop that increasingly warm up the audience, who sing, scream, and applaud. Beautiful, really beautiful.

Le Luci della Centrale Elettrica delivered a passionate and authentic live performance at Tago Mago, Massa in 2008. Vasco Brondi showcased his expressive vocal style, matched perfectly by Giorgio Canali's guitar. The venue’s seventies vibe and audience energy added to the memorable night, marked by intense singing and heartfelt moments. Despite minor venue flaws, the concert was a beautiful experience for lovers of quality Italian music. Discover the raw energy and heartfelt emotion of Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica’s live show—listen now and experience Italian rock at its best!

 The only beautiful thing about the film is Cruz in a slip, especially when she speaks in Spanish, sensual and wicked just right.

 To dear Woody... it seemed to me that this effectively added nothing and that the director himself felt uneasy portraying a reality that he does not know and that is not part of his DNA.

The review critiques Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona as a film that fails to deliver engaging characters or meaningful plot twists. Penélope Cruz's performance and Spanish scenes are praised as the film's highlights. The cultural contrast between cautious Americans and free-spirited Europeans is noted but not effectively explored. Overall, the movie is seen as a disappointing effort from Allen, lacking the charm and depth of his better works. Discover the flaws and charms of Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona — read the full review and decide for yourself!
