THE REVIEW

This single by Opus III is so beautiful, one of the singers rarely mentioned since the 2000s and left in the dreadful abyss of the '90s.

"It's A Fine Day" is practically equivalent to "Porcelain" by Moby. The fabric is a classic of ambient, which is that electronics influenced by the bouncing piano of Chicago House. Opus's sublime vocal modulations come from the school of Cocteau and Everything But The Girl, there's no doubt, but the freshness found in these three minutes is disarming.

You travel on a cloud of a spring sky. The wind slowly moves the branches of the trees, the sunset comes alive, and the calm mixed with silence and peace charms us more and more.

"Evolution Rush" is the other track paired with this 1992 gem, where we find a sound jungle seasoned with ancestral sounds, divine voice, and other wonders.

But obviously, the highlight is "It's A Fine Day." The ethereal synth intro, so dear to people like 808 State of "Pacific State," immediately presents the girl's voice. The video shows her as a mystical presence, a siren, a muse that has come to Earth and is ready to leave us after persuading us with her harmony.

A track that joins various ones like "Everytime You Touch Me" and "Move" by Moby, "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack, "3 A.M. Eternal" by the KLF..

A multicolored journey that will be tried by a thousand artists but with few other exceptions where such impactful realizations will be achieved. The only harm music can do is to age poorly.

tonight..
fine night tonight
fine night tonight

it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight

it's a fine day,
people open windows.
they leave the houses,
just for a short while.

it's a fine day,
people open windows.
they leave the houses,
just for a short while.

it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow

it's a fine day,
people open windows.
they leave the houses,
just for a short while.

they walk by the grass
they look at the sky
they walk by the grass
and they look at the grass
they look at the sky

it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow

look at the sky
look at the sky

it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine day tomorrow
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight
it's going to be a fine night tonight
