@ALFAMA has indeed proposed them to me several times, but I only listened to them properly just now. A really great all-Italian album dating back more than twenty years, when I was just a kid with glasses, acne, and had to be careful not to get beaten up in middle school by rising or already grown mobsters since they had repeated so many times that they were 17-18 years old.

Starfuckers - Sinistri (Underground Records, 1994)

A band from Lunigiana but adopted by Bologna, the Starfuckers gained some attention in Italy during the nineties but have surely been forgotten. I actually knew very little about them before listening to this album, "Sinistri" (Underground Records), which can be considered a true expressionist manifesto and was also noted by Piero Scaruffi. Indeed, "Sinistri" is an album of true avant-garde and minimal experimentation, more akin to certain expressionistic forms of no-wave than to noise sounds or even alternative tones in the style of Massimo Volume, with which you would definitely want to associate this group for some shared obsessive atmospheres and the communication form through "spoken word," which in this case is still minimal, just like the sound, based on simple expressions, like words lost in the void and destined to resonate in the space of the compositions and repeated only a few times, but without that typical verve of Emidio Clementi. I think of various groups like This Heat or Sir Richard Bishop and an Italian band from those years, the De Glaen, who were definitely more robust in sound but had a certain math-rock root and a certain "whirling" expressionism that is present here, albeit reproduced practically in slow motion. Ambient and synthetic influences permeate the entire work, giving it a dark character and a meditative space-rock depth of a new-age mark. Marked by oppositional themes typical of the garage movement, I can only say that I was personally positively surprised by listening to this album and this group that deserves to be mentioned more often when talking about the Italian alternative scene of those now long-gone years.

Massive Attack - Spying Glass Today I branded my daughter's brain with this piece, in the car, at an annoying volume... and she was loving it big time.
