 Imagine, then, an album like "Osmium" (1970), shadowed in the group's discography, underrated, and ignored.

 There is affinity, no doubt, but there is also a fundamental difference: the early works of Funkadelic are homogeneous... This common thread is missing in Osmium. A blessing and a curse.

Parliament's 1970 debut album Osmium remains underrated and overshadowed by their later funk masterpieces. The album's eclectic sound ranges from rock to gospel and country, lacking a unifying thread but showcasing unique musical diversity. It contrasts with the more cohesive early Funkadelic albums. Despite being harder to listen to, Osmium stands out for its originality and playful tone. Explore Parliament's unique Osmium album and experience the roots of funk's rich and diverse journey today!

 Silver or someone from his group has never been heard playing just for the sake of playing, without an idea behind every note.

 The seed beneath the snow... a metaphor for what Italian society was like during the fascist regime: a landscape covered by a blanket of silence, lack of morality, fear, where, however, there are still those who resist.

 The most Christian of all is precisely that communist Pietro Spina, who helps others out of the movement of the heart and not out of duty or circumstances.

The Seed Beneath the Snow, second in Silone's 'Vino e Pane' saga, masterfully captures Italian society's resistance under fascism through the elusive character Pietro Spina. Though less consistent than its predecessor, it offers striking literary moments and profound religious and political reflections. The novel contrasts silence and oppression with hidden hope in the form of symbolic seeds like Pietro, Simone, and Infante. Silone's Christian themes deepen the portrayal of sacrifice and freedom in a rural setting. Explore The Seed Beneath the Snow and experience the powerful story of resistance and hope beneath Italy’s fascist silence.
