Picking up on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Antonello Venditti, that is, a ranking of his albums (stopping at Cuore from 1984 and including Theorius Campus with De Gregori) from the least beautiful to the best...

No. 10: "Cuore" (1984)
At the bottom of this ranking, we find a much-debated album. The album of "change," driven by the superhit Ci Vorrebbe Un Amico. An album that marks an adjustment to the very cheap sounds of the decade, but - still - with a more than appreciable writing style. The inspiration is already starting to crack a little (see, above all, "Non E' La Cocaina"), but undeniably convincing moments alternate with more great tracks, even though, as previously mentioned, with arrangements that are hard to digest. The linked piece saves itself from being plastic and goes down in history as probably Antonello's last masterpiece.
Overall rating 7.5

The masterpiece of the album: Notte prima degli esami
 
Attracted by the cover, here’s an LP that I’m listening to for the first time now Ray Lynch – Deep Breakfast (1984) although I must confess that the initial passages don't convince me, being close to new age electronics "but you can never say cat if you don't have it in the bag," as a famous sports philosopher used to say.
 
Dr Feelgood - She Does It Right (1975)
Beloved, always too forgotten
I discovered that even a couple of albums from the mid-eighties are super... finally...
 
Terry Riley - Performance Two - Part 2
The most beautiful album alongside Rainbow in Curved Air. The other works suffer from stylistic repetition when they should have had more diversifications (see the careers of Schulze or Gottsching). Persian consists of 4 seminal movements for the subsequent electronic music (only Performance 2 part 1 is below par, the rest all at high levels).
 
 
The Error of Larry Niven – Taken from "44 Microstories of Science Fiction"
On a cargo ship, suspended somewhere between Earth and Ganymede, Commander Elroy Barnes lazily settled into the shock-resistant bunk, a silly grin on his face. The curved retractable shields opened up on the ship's nose, revealing the wide, convex windows of the cockpit. Barnes looked at the stars frozen on the black velvet of the universe. A few minutes passed before he noticed the alien staring at him. He studied it with annoyance. At least two and a half meters tall, vaguely reptilian in appearance, with a dome-shaped scaly head and a mouth equipped with several dozen gleaming needle-like teeth. Instead of hands, it looked as if it had a gun. Barnes lazily raised a hand and waved. Kthistlmup was puzzled. The man's mind was confused, almost unreadable. He probed the hull looking for other minds, but the ship was empty, except for Barnes. Kthistlmup advanced into the cabin through the glass. Barnes, for the first time, seemed surprised. - Hey! Now that's a trick! Do it again. - There's something wrong with you – Kthistlmup transmitted - Barnes smirked. - Some adjustments are necessary to fight the boredom of space, to safeguard the mental health of our pilots. - He lifted a green plastic bottle, - NST twenty-four. It helps make for a good journey. There's nothing to do here until I have to navigate this heap into the Jupiter system. Why not then? - Why not what? - Why not indulge in a little trip while the big one is underway? Kthistlmup finally understood. - You've done something to your mind. Chemicals? We use DC current stimuli on Mars. - Mars? You really are... - Barnes! I'm the one asking the questions. Barnes waved his hands dismissively. - Come on then. - How prepared is Earth for an attack from space? - Oh, but that's a secret! Besides, I have no idea. - You must have some idea. What's the most powerful weapon you've heard of? Barnes crossed his arms - I won't talk. - His mind revealed only a sudden flash of white light, which might not have had anything to do with the question. Kthistlmup tried again. - Has Earth colonized other planets? - Of course! Trantor, Mesklin, Barsoom, Perelandra... Barnes's mind showed only that he was lying, and Kthistlmup lost patience. - You will talk - he threatened, advancing towards him and gently gripping his throat with four needle-sharp claws. Barnes's eyes widened. - Poor me, what a terrible trip! Quickly, hand me the bottle of Fini! Quickly! Kthistlmup loosened his grip. - Tell me about Earth's defenses! - I need to take a Fine. The big blue bottle. It should be in the medicine cabinet. - Barnes slipped sideways. He opened the cabinet on the wall before Kthistlmup could grab his wrist. - Ques

Playlist Cope & Iggy n 21
 
 
I was walking down the street
And in silence I could feel
Behind me the people
Whispering softly
How you betray me
And how I am
Alone at home.
Then someone, with a tone
Of an unnecessary saint,
Was very sorry
For me, and really so much.
What sublime talent
To cause harm
There is in people!
My God,
How I want
To turn around and shout:
"Do you,
What do you know
About my falls,
About my disasters?"
Fools!
Fools!
You know nothing,
Nothing at all.
Where is he, what is he,
You will never get there
Not ever.
My love,
My love,
Come and say something,
Come and do something,
To find something,
To rediscover something
That was in us.
Fools!
What fools!
What I think and what I feel,
What I burned and what I feel,
What I stole and what I spent,
These things people
Never know.
The phone rings
From a thousand distances,
Strange friends and even
Stranger alliances.
Everyone wants to say
And yet not say the problem
That is here present.
Every glance I meet
In the bar below my house
Is a crossroads of pain
And silent understanding,
And then someone shakes
Their head to say:
"Case closed."
My God,
How I want
To turn around and shout:
"Do you,
What do you know
About my falls,
About my disasters?"
Fools!
Fools!
You know nothing,
Nothing at all.
Where is he, what is he,
You will never get there
Not ever.
My love,
My love,
Come and do something,
To save something,
Come and say something,
We can say anything
If you want.
Fools!
What fools!
He only loved me,
Yes, I betrayed him
And I also left him.
And here’s what I will never
Say.
Yes, I betrayed him
And I also left him.
And here’s what I will never
Say!

Don't be fooled by appearances: beneath that thick metallic shell, there is always a languid heart beating.
