99

THE REVIEW

No one can imagine... how much time has passed.

Days... weeks... months... Years!

Finally, the wait is over.

Those who waited still can't believe achieving such a goal.

99, a number surrounded by an invisible, yet inexplicable mysterious veil. An event loaded with unknowable, elusive, incomplete factors.

One of the most emotional tracks from the famous band. The musicians' mastery is undeniable.

Lukather's taste and Porcaro's talent. The elegance of Paich, and all the other members of the band.

The refinement of the video, with a masterful use of white, the sum of all colors.

But much more is hidden... Not only numbers, music, video, but also cinema.

Song lyrics and video are inspired by Lucas' unconventional film THX 1138. Based on the homonymous novel by B. Bova.

A literary work of value, containing profound concepts. A reading that can be absorbed in a day.

Women, men, children, transformed into organic automatons, with numbers instead of names, whose duty is solely to serve the system.

Affects, emotions, passions, and art have been erased with the aim of eliminating evil, but consequently also feelings.

A tragic and desperate love story.

An escape from a society devoid of affections, of sex, oppressive, cold, and domineering.

Yet, there is always an escape route, an alternative, an unpredictable, anomalous factor.

99... a figure inserted in a surreal scheme of boundless proportions.

But this... is another story.
