1985 Billy Cobham - Powerplay
 
4th place: L'aldiquà
Released in May 2006, this sixth album by Samuele Bersani follows his jackpot win two years earlier at the Targe Tenco. And the expectations are not disappointed... sort of. L'aldiquà continues the theme of current events started in Caramella smog and carries it forward through several tracks in this new album. We begin with a quiet and suspended vibe, that of Lascia stare, where love and work have become two windows onto a world seemingly too high for us, before moving to Iraq, where a journalist was kidnapped and then killed by the Iraqi Islamic army, all rendered to the beat of a paradoxically cheerful march. We then encounter two figures that represent man in his modern condition: the first is a chicken being cooked on the fire, completely helpless in this catastrophic situation for him, and the non-voting observer, a paradoxical figure of our times so consumed by his aforementioned values that he does not realize he is inclined toward the opposite of these. But amidst all this, love returns... not immediately, but it does come back: despite everything being precarious in life, despite the need to endure every catastrophe to find oneself, despite it being a mechanism of illusion and self-sabotage, it exists and is a tangible part of our existence. And then? Then... there are three more tracks. Maciste, Il maratoneta, and Sogni, which are not quite up to Samuele's standards, even though they are consistent with the themes of the album; they are not forgettable tracks, but in an album with seven other top-notch pieces, they are decidedly less sharp and focused. This is why L'aldiquà was somewhat of a disappointment upon its release; Samuele had just come out of a splendid period and with L'aldiquà he was still in his golden age, but even today L'aldiquà remains an album that, with a little more effort, could have been on par with its predecessors, yet unfortunately falls a little short compared to those that came before it. Nevertheless, L'aldiquà remains an excellent album that exorcises many of the evils of our modern world and encourages you every day to keep moving forward through the trenches and the ropes. It’s all a matter of balance.
Picky rating: 8/9

DARK POLO GANG - CONO GELATO (Prod by Sick Luke)

Extra edition of Corriere di DeBaser!

After the incisive investigation by @[Farnaby], Piero Scaruffi has been definitively unmasked. Here is his new favorite track, a surprising choice that caught even @[Onirico] off guard. It seems he rated DPG with a neat 8.5, a score usually reserved for Mongolian chants and the tarantellas of upper Campania. The Aqua have now been demoted. The statements from Renè Dif, a member of the band: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that from Scaruffi. Long live the pussy, always and anyway." Word for word.

From 1948 to 1971, every Sunday night Ed Sullivan hosted the greatest and most famous artists on his show, aired on CBS. About ten years ago, it was released in 12 DVDs, and an Italian newspaper published the best performances. I'm sharing them with you again; there are truly wonderful things.

#aliensfromtheworld

By now, almost everyone knows about the existence of aliens on Earth. According to a hidden physical archive in Nevada, accessible to a few, there are dozens of species.
It's essential to memorize the 3 laws regarding aliens; if you follow them, you won't get into trouble.
1: Do not be malevolent towards aliens.
2: Do not be benevolent towards aliens.
3: Remain impassive and don't let emotions leak out.
Aliens are like us (we are aliens too), sometimes they are angry, sometimes they are happy.
This is an Ur-Quan nest, capable of holding over a million.
Don't get too close; they might get nervous and track you by your scent for kilometers. Watch them for a while, then leave nonchalantly.
