Carlo Buti - Firenze Sogna
#thecanzoniditalia
 
Gang Of Four - I Love a Man in a Uniform
The last gem (along with "To hell with poverty") before they got tangled up with funky.
 
Scritti Politti - Skank Bloc Bologna
One of the cornerstones of the punky dub movement, seasoned with off-kilter no wave rhythms and a sublime, alienated vocal line 🚀
 
Nessun uomo è un uomo qualunque
"No man is an ordinary man
his suitcase may be full
of a pajamas worn in jail
of a jacket turned inside out
freedom and poverty in one evening."
The company, these four words alone are worth the entire discography of sugar gallo fanki falsococher how beautiful I am tonight.
 
Watch "E Ti Vengo A Cercare" on YouTube
E Ti Vengo A Cercare I don't mind Tiziano Ferro. But when a song is perfect, and someone does a cover that manages to perfect it even more... why not leave the world as you found it and do something else? ??
 
Scritti Politti - The Sweetest Girl (2001 Digital Remaster)
Robert Wyatt is here.
@[hjhhjij] Just to talk about cultured intrusions in the indie punky pop zone. The dissonant finale seems to emerge from Rock Bottom... and how delightful is this synthetic drum kit pattern?!
 
Scritti Politti - Wood Beez
Another band that managed to stand out amidst wave, no wave, and that Afro funk mixed with dub. I mention these genres because Scritti have mastered them all brilliantly. Fortunately, they didn't replicate the wave clichés to the letter (which only makes me want to reach for the first four seminal and unsurpassed albums by Roxy Music) but instead blended pop, soul, breakbeat, and many other wonders.
