Elio e Le Storie Tese
Studentessi

I just bought the CD by Elio e le Storie Tese, Studentessi, and I must say it is a very well-done work.

The work is quite massive, consisting of 22 tracks, so it would be impossible and tedious to thoroughly review all the tracks, always rich in Nonsense and comedic lines, but with the usual veil of satire, typical of the Ambrosians.

The album is quite particular both for the chosen distribution (the newsstand is the main one) and for the rich list of session men featured in the album: Claudio Baglioni, Giorgia, Claudio Bisio, Claudia Cortellesi, Vittorio Cosma, Maurizio Crozza, Lucio Fabbri, Paola Cortellesi, Carla Fracci, Irene Grandi, Demo Morselli, and Antonella Ruggiero.

Surely not the best of Italian music (which Gli EeLST represent...), but still, it's amusing to hear how Irene Grandi switched to singing a "Heavy Samba" with so many Led Zeppelin...

The rest just needs to be listened to and appreciated.

Not on the level of Eat The Phikis, but a great album.

The other significant tracks are "La risposta dell'architetto" with the legendary Mangoni on vocals, "Parco Sempione", the single from the work, very rich in meaning, as it is dedicated to the 16,000 signatories of the petition against the demolition of the Gioia Woods, unfortunately signed in vain.

Also very nice is the puzzle proposed by the band on the song, where there are two large ants (Formiconi) eating... shit and below a nice "C=G", so Formiconi=Formigoni, the author of the forest's demolition.

"Gargaroz", which many will have heard in the Cynar advertisement, and "Il congresso delle parti molli", a funny hypothesis on the reasons for the brain's dominance over other organs, are noteworthy, the rest is a nice side that matches well with the rest of the album.

In short, a CD to buy and listen to, beautiful and fun, and hopefully completed by the Post Sanremo, entrusted this year to Elio e le Storie Tese (so this year I might watch this "Kermesse" for the first time).
