KEEP IT IN - SWEET
Technically monstrous. Certainly, the early hard glam Queens drew heavily from them. Here, there are grooves that brush against the most intricate rhythms of hard prog.

A memory of one of the many times I saw him on stage, from the late seventies onwards.
A sad event, nonetheless.
March 12, 2000, Genoa, Teatro Carlo Felice.
Italian singers parade to pay tribute to Fabrizio de André, who had just passed away.
Battiato arrives on stage, disheveled, starts “Amore che vieni, amore che vai” with a thin voice, and after a couple of verses, he stops singing, crying, and leaves the stage.
That's it.

The Mona Lisa - Leonardo da Vinci (1503-1504 circa)

The Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, is an oil painting on a poplar wood panel created by Leonardo da Vinci, (77×53 cm and 13 mm thick), dating back to around 1503-1504 and housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. An iconic and enigmatic work of world painting, it is undoubtedly the most famous portrait in history as well as one of the most recognized artworks overall. The subject's almost imperceptible smile, with its air of mystery, has inspired countless pages of critique, literature, imaginative works, and even psychoanalytic studies; elusive, ironic, and sensual, the Mona Lisa has been alternately loved and idolized, but also mocked and vandalized.
The Mona Lisa is admired daily by about thirty thousand visitors, or 80% of the visitors to the Louvre Museum where it is displayed, to the extent that a rope must keep people at a proper distance in the large hall where it resides. Throughout the long history of the painting, there have indeed been attempts at vandalism, as well as a daring theft, which have further fueled its popularity.

Giuffria - Do Me Right
Besides the first 2 albums with Angel, the blonde Gregg wrote three great tracks with Giuffria... this one, No escape, and Call to the heart.
What a stellar intro with those synths! ⭐

To one of your realms of peace

And never abandon me

I remember that when I was little, my parents would often put a cassette in the stereo, a compilation with the 'hits' of Battiato, and right from the start this track has always enchanted me. L'Era Del Cinghiale Bianco (Remastered 2019)
