The emotional tension with which the clanging guitars take over thoughts proves to be, in my opinion, unrivaled as the factor, the soul, and the body of this masterpiece.
I swear in my life I have never heard anything more sensual, so spiritual and at the same time sacrilegious as this filter of lost love.
By DanteCruciani
"The noise is not unpleasant, rather, it gradually transforms into a symphony, mathematically crystalline."
"Branca is a mad orchestra conductor, who instead of a baton has a hammer."
