LA RECENSIONE

"Australia" is an album from 1985 composed by Mango with the collaboration of Mogol and Alberto Salerno.

In this album, there is an overwhelming desire to break boundaries, a longing for travel, to discover new "artistic territories" that will never fade over the years. The various tracks echo exotic atmospheres framed by an impressive use of electronic sounds. The vocals are highlighted by the semi falsetto that characterizes the singing. “'Australia, a new world to discover big spaces in the middle of the sea compare it cannot be another blue, another blue....”

How many times have we suffered for a person we loved who disappointed us or whom we never truly had? These are moments in our lives when we feel lost and adrift. Moments when we lose our bearings and don’t know where to go. And then, Where will I go? It's difficult to determine if every image of this person clings to our mind, if it becomes an obsession, a solid thought. Yet, in this state of solitude, there is always hope. Because if behind a no there is so much suffering, behind a yes there is a desperate need to find our soulmate, there is a hope that through the journey of our life will eventually be fulfilled.

Life is a journey.

A long path filled with uncertainties and doubts about the evolution of the future due to the political and social issues that each era presents.

“Strange signals in the darkness directed to Moscow and Shanghai bounce, all the way to New York new codes for the cities intercepted and unknown to us ordinary people in evolution graze the Persian Gulf leaving blue traces Strange signals in the soul never perceived and unknown to us ordinary people in evolution don't ask me what it means nor what will ever happen.”

And finally, there are humans who sometimes in our eyes become idols of life, but then disappoint us so much that that infinite admiration becomes contempt and then indifference. ‘’We, the indistinguishable mass, who elected you for a moment over us, over us, the indistinguishable mass that has already forgotten you by now‘’
