THE REVIEW
We were wandering along the Riviera trying to come up with something to do on a hot midsummer night, and on the streets, posters announced that Palco Sul Mare Festival was hosting a concert by Le Vibrazioni in S. Margherita Ligure… I confess I arrived there as if I were going to see Lunapop and without having listened to their songs except on the radio, but what a wonderful surprise! Really an excellent performance, the kind I like, gritty like a true rock band, enough to make me want to listen to the entire CD to see if they could convey the same positive sensations in the studio.
And here's the confirmation: an excellent Italian music album that looks forward, backward, and all around the planet of rock, pop music; the right dose of psychedelia, sweet and aggressive guitars, and the beautiful voice of Francesco Sarcina, the charismatic leader of the group, author of all the lyrics and music on the album. The sideburns and flared pants exhibited on stage are truly fitting: LE VIBRAZIONI II (BMG) is an homage to 60s-70s rock, winking at the sound of Led Zeppelin starting with the title, but also at the poetic acrobatics of Battisti and the sound experiments of Pfm. Good Italian rock that talks about love, feelings, loneliness and also tackles serious topics like war and social discomfort.
Hypnotic melodies are coupled with rock bursts with a new but deliberately aged sound, pieces that build up, build up, and finally release energy with guitars that fly free and acidic through the 14 tracks of the CD.
By the way, don't turn off the stereo when the music seems to end: at the very end, a beautiful hidden track will reward you for the silence of the wait! Now these are good vibrations… forget Lunapop!

They have managed to write and play a truly beautiful album.
Their immense passion for rock, especially that of the ’70s, leads to great references.

A truly delightful album, a perfect bridge between the ‘60s/‘70s and today.
The best track on the album is certainly 'Ogni giorno ad ogni ora', for the happy combination of lyrics and music.

From that day on I’ve been a huge fan of Le Vibrazioni.
In Sarcina’s movements, you can glimpse a certain Jim Morrison wanting to come back to life, shaking everything around him.
