I Camillas
Tennis d'amor

With the short yet concise album "Tennis D'Amor", the Camillas perhaps want to evoke the upheaval of the relationship that binds a couple, but we don't care, or maybe we do; everything our contemporary minstrels narrate interests us. Anyway... I put the record on and write down impulsively what appears before me: "L'armata" has an apocalyptic progression, with the image of Padre Pio guiding us towards the end of the world, under the watchful eye of Schillaci and led by the intuition of Battiato... then there's someone who, like Arnold, sacrifices himself for the homeland; a nostalgic apotheosis of the past.

"La Macchina Motivazionale" urges us insistently along the lines of the "ball game"; what do you call it when a sound evokes an action?...come on!

"Cuscini" is the sunny pop that softens the landing into the magical world; "Rimarra" seems to be rhythmized by the Oliver Onions accompanied by the more carefree Zen Circus, who become defiant in "Atalanta", where a disjointed pogo is performed that falls apart at the cry of "L'Unanimità".

Then we return to country rhythms, with "Il Postino" delivering love letters everywhere... and on with the walking guitar and much serenity. And here is the chaste diva of the album: "Sulle Labbra" surprises us and paves the way for the grand finale: "Il codice" with its majestic piano dominating the final climax.

Trust the Camillas...
