THE REVIEW

2000... While Piero Pelù was grabbing the "Toro Loco" by the horns, Ghigo Renzulli with the revamped band was releasing another chapter signed Litfiba.

The album immediately distances itself from the band's last album, "Infinito," and gives us a record full of pure rock also highlighted by the new vocalist, Gabo. The new act opens with "Il Pazzo Che Ride" followed by the excellent first single "Elettromacumba" which is a mirror on today's digital world, between computers and connections. The melody is felt in "Giardino Della Follia" but ends up being too monotonous in context; the rest of the songs are simple examples of great rock played well, "Spia", proposes itself as the most powerful song of the album, amidst false people and someone studying our moves.

In conclusion, what can I say? It was a great beginning, a powerful relaunch for the (former) best band in Italy that in recent years has been losing its way a little too much.

 Elettromacumba is a wonderful album, no lack of style, no desire to skip a song, an almost masterpiece.

 Il Pazzo Che Ride is alone worth every twenty euros I spent on the album.
