Gigi D'Agostino
Lento Violento

Hey, Debaseriano, I’m talking to you, before reading this review, open a window and go here.

Then comment and tell me about your high school and/or university loves, using words that convey feelings...

"Lento Violento" or the association of hard and slow tracks, in the same CD released in 2007, which represents the new style of Gigi D'Agostino, hardcore contaminations together with Italo dance bombs typical of our Gigi, who doesn’t indulge too much in his old successes, doesn’t rest on his laurels, and pulls out two or three mind-blowing songs from his leopard hat.

In this 2009 far from the naturalness of things, feeding on usual surreal situations, my heart aches, because I’ve realized that some dance songs, as much as you might badmouth them, ignite a fire and an emotion that only love can suggest to me, the feeling that these songs leave in the daily banality, as far as I am concerned, touch my soul deeply, molding me like a terracotta statue, invaded by a sense of well-being that grips my senses of a young rebel, the only moment of truth in this society of falsehood, my feelings for her.

With "Arcobaleno" I wander around the university in search of the right inspiration for frantic and desperate studying, but there’s something bigger that captures my attention and makes my heart race, I slowly think of her face, she walks past me and brushes against me while I try to avoid looking at her, weird Italian street concept, I would like to touch her soul and not only that, I would like her to let go, I wish she liked me like no one before, these days finding a virgin, anarchic and in love is something difficult and perhaps wrong.

The instrumental songs wander in the air to the rhythm of your heart and your movements, in the clear sky and the lost time, the heart beats and aches, after years of waiting, voilà the flame has been lit, but will it be the usual illusion or maybe the effect of the song, what’s certain is that she is a goddess without "religio".

"Please Don’t Cry" has nothing to envy of "La Passion"  or "L’amour Toujours", it installs itself in the mind like a fetish, but in reality, it’s a positive coercion, as it accompanies the thought of the people you spent the day with, and when I dream of that girl, I put her in the music, a beautiful woman, like AS Roma, like Beatrice for Dante, like money for Berlusconi I am completely in love, after a long time, but her face is too much hers to unsettle my mind, but too many sex scenes and also too much TV have now corrupted her way of perceiving life, when, however, the dream becomes reality it will be "Lento e Violento", it will be "Arcobaleno" or "Please Don’t Cry", it will be music and more, it will be the Roman winter, it will be the smell of our coats, the smell of her breath on my green eyes, her hair will become my first reason, the music will be more explosive and engaging, we will make love in 2010 as in the 90s, and when I will be in her most secret place, I will be as gentle as possible.

When you take for granted that she is something unattainable,  and you haven’t had what you want your whole life, it’s time to dream with homemade dance music, natural, the energy that these two songs in particular transmit to you will be the first step for liberation from the cold, the fire between me and her will burn.
