Questo è un consesso di menti sottili aduse a spaccare il capello in multipli di quattro e ad apporre tutti i puntini mancanti su qualsivoglia i. E’ un luogo di dialogo e di approfondimento in cui l’inutile riacquista la sua centralità. Tu, sperduto viandante, ti senti pronto ad entrare?

94Q "Jazz Flavours" WQXI - program tapes 1986

We are used to thinking of fusion as a niche genre for collectors, but the connoisseur in the field knows full well that, especially in the '80s and early '90s, fusion could count on dedicated radio stations and many fusion artists sold in droves. The records themselves were often packages, because we’re not just talking about Revered Masters like Chick Corea (preferably in Elektric Band version) or Herbie Hancock, but a myriad of lesser-known names that today are hardly considered, if at all, except by a small group of connoisseurs from America and Japan. One of these is Mr. KJCM, who during those wonderful eighties nights had nothing better to do than turn on the radio, tune in to 94Q in Atlanta, and record entire cassettes of glossy, bland, generic fusion, mostly anonymous and absolutely dispensable. At the border of smooth jazz and even new age. The "beautiful sound," "virtuosity," and "ability to play" were fundamental, more than the quality of the pieces. The atmospheres conjure up an easy exotic imagery from film and TV of the time. Thirty years later, those cassettes still sound so good that Mr. KJCM decides to upload them, one after the other, to his YouTube channel. And fans of shoulder synthesizers and the most anonymous, bland, generic fusion thank him.
The Electronic Hole " the electronic hole " full album 1970

Electronic hole of Electronic hole is quite clear, right?
I propose a topic to start debating (even in the coming days if it stimulates such minds): Is it more "capishonity correct" (by the way, @[G] is it possible to have the group members give a mention like capishonity correct or something else?) to say that "The Dark Side of the Moon" is an overrated album, a piece of junk for rock fans with expensive hi-fi stereos, or to say that it is - yes - an important album but loved by the wrong people for the wrong reasons?
Also @[luludia] and @dislocation have been invited.
As the first session of the new group, I propose to subject the following users to the capisciometro to decide if they are worthy of accessing Our High Assembly:
@[imasoulman]
@[Almotasim]
@[JonatanCoe]
@[Taddi]

@[IlConte] will be added not as a capiscione (so he says) but as the only verified nobleman. And in a Monarchy, at least one blue blood is needed!
If there are other proposals, they should be submitted to the capisciometro of @[JOHNDOE].
