Giusto Pio
Alla Corte Di Nefertiti

The fifth album by Giusto Pio is the one that most resembles the debut of Motore immobile. Produced and released by L'Ottava, the new label of Franco Battiato, who will also handle the publication of Gurdjeff's works for the first time in Italy, Alla corte di Nefertiti is the title Franco suggests to his violin Master. It's worth noting that Franco had also studied violin towards the end of the '70s. The vinyl actually consists of just one track, the title track, which on side B is "fragmented" in the manner of M.lle Le Gladiator, skirting and sometimes reaching sonic absurdity. The suite lasts 14 and a half minutes, just like L'Egitto prima delle sabbie, but here there is much more variation in instruments and atmospheres. After all, with a dedication to the Egyptian queen who lived in 1300 B.C., Oriental atmospheres were inevitably evoked. In the middle of the track, the piano becomes more prominent, followed by the percussion.

Among the curiosities regarding this suite, it was used as a sound commentary for a sculpture exhibition organized by the association Le Venezie titled "Molte bianche ali sospese sugli aquiloni," which took place in Verona in 1988. It's a meticulous and daring work, it deserves 4 stars.
