[La Traccia del giorno]

[Dero88]

IV. Presentation
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Alex Lifeson

... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up
to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown
rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed
throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...
... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were
words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen
dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown
ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his
feet..."

I know it's most unusual
To come before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know

Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you

Yes, we know it's nothing new
It's just a waste of time
We have no need for ancient ways
The world is doing fine

Another toy will help destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan

I can't believe you're saying
These things just can't be true
Our world could use this beauty
Just think what we might do

Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you

Don't annoy us further
We have our work to do
Just think about the average
What use have they for you?

Another toy will help destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan

V. Oracle: The Dream
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so
vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the
oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase" ...
... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities
and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works
of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and
understanding as I saw a completely different way to life,
a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I
saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss
of all these things ..."

I wandered home though the silent streets
And fell into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms beyond the night
Dream can't you show me the light?

I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days

I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise
With hungry mind and open eyes

They left the planet long ago
The elder race still learn and grow
Their power grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where they belong
Home, to tear the Temples down...
Home, to change..

VI. Soliloquy
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become
my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of
the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live
under the control of the Federation, but there is no other
place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass
into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."

The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not fade like all my dreams

Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have seen
I don't think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life
Oh...noo!

My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood spills over..

VII. Grand Finale
Music by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart

Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
We have assumed control.
We have assumed control.
We have assumed control.

When you're walkin' down the street
And the man tries to get your business
And the people that you meet
Want to open you up like Christmas
You gotta wrap your fuzzy in a big red bow
Ain't no sum bitch gonna treat me like a ho
I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess

Cuz you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous:
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cuz you're nasty

When you're runnin' from a trick
And you trip on a hit of acid
You gotta work for the man
But your biggest moneymakers' flaccid
You gotta keep your shit together
With your feet on the ground
There ain't noone gonna listen
If you haven't made a sound
You're an acid junkie college flunky dirty puppy daddy bastard

Cuz you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous:
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cuz you're nasty

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true

Why don't you play the game ?
Why don't you play the game ?

Il Koln Concert di Keith Jarrett.

Stupendo lo ascolto praticamente ogni giorno :approved :roll:

[lateralus83]

Artista: The Who
Album: Who's Next
Titolo: Won't Get Fooled Again
Anno: 1971
Genere: Rock



We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Veramente grandissimo, è qualcosa di impressionante la bellezza di quel disco.

Rilancio con qualcosa di leggermente diverso

Langour rises reaching, to turn off the alarm
And there's never so much seething
That it can't be disarmed
You just stop it up,
Pass it on
Shove it to shelf it,
To leave it off and turnover
Lounging against your weapons,
Until your muscles find lock
In the ease of that position,
A residue of tremor passes
As some cherie amour suggests
That maybe it was time to smash things up
But just stop it up,
Pass it on
Shove it to shelf it,
To lead it on and turnover
I'm only sleeping



" Nell'arco della loro carriera i Fugazi sono una delle formazioni piu` importanti dell'intera storia del punk-rock, oltre che il faro della scena di Washington. Per un decennio sono stati un baluardo di onesta` e devozione (oltre che intelligenza e ispirazione) per tutta la scena rock. Il loro contributo etico e politico e` pari a quello artistico. Hanno trasformato l'hardcore in un veicolo espressivo tanto malleabile quanto potente e hanno in tal modo compiuto un'operazione non troppo diversa da quella che Jim Morrison opero` sul rock psichedelico. La teatralita` del loro sound non ha eguali negli annali del genere che era nato per reagire alla teatralita` del rock. Asceta morale e artista dissoluto, Ian MacKaye e` una delle intelligenze piu` lucide del punkrock tutto. "

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Well the word was out on the street today
All the friends that I'd met would have to say
While your records line the shelves
You're fighting amongst yourselves
That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
Well the word my friend you know is on the street
It's on the lips of everyone I meet
While you're climbin up the chart
Your band just fell apart
I guess your life just ain't really that complete
You know your car with which I was impressed
Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed
Well I thought you had it made
But you ain't even paid
For the things that you've bought
Since the acid test
I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay
And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey
Wall that's really a doggone shame
But who's there left to blame
And all you ever really wanted was just to play
They say your drummer he's crazy as a loon
Last night they found him baying at the moon
As as for your lead guitar
He just cracked up his car
But he should be out of traction very soon
Well my friend it's time for me to go
I just can't be late for my evening show
You see I've written this tune
And I hope that very soon
I'll be heard on Top 40 radio.

.::.Titolo: We need freedom
.::.Autore: Antico
.::.Durata: 5' 27"
.::.Album: /
.::.Genere: "Old style" techno
.::.Anno: 1991



Chi ricorda il nome di Antico sicuramente lo associa a "Dreamer (Hoomba Homba)", produzione progressive dance degli anni d'oro, quando imperversava il sound in stile Robert Miles, DJ Dado, e via dicendo... invece io ho voluto oggi ripescare questa traccia molto più old, e secondo me anche molto più bella (nel 1991 erano pochi i dischi che si avvicinassero così tanto alla techno / trance più moderna) ed incazzata, veramente una chicca. Se riuscite a procurarvela, ve la consiglio, è una perla assoluta, rende bene l'idea di quanto fosse più bella la musica "innovativa" tanti anni fa rispetto ad oggi.

Per quanto riguarda Antico, è un progetto che ruota fondamentalmente attorno a quattro nomi: Roby Arduini, Max Persona, Luca Cittadini e l'immancabile Gianfranco Bortolotti, che penso abbia fatto da solo un buon 50% della storia della musica dance made in Italy. Un grandissimo, veramente, è in quasi tutte le creazioni che contano del genere.

Anno: 1997
Genere: Blues



The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

Genere: Rock








Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I’d think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I’d stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I’d give my life for just one kiss
I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

We’ve had our share of hard times
But that’s the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you’ll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
’cause you’ll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you

Riesce anche a sciogliere il mio cuore di ghiaccio questa ballatona

[Black Avatar]

Artista: Ministry
Titolo: Flashback
Durata: 4'48''
Album: The Land Of Rape And Honey
Anno: 1988
Genere: Industrial Rock



Traccia di una ferocia inaudita, consiste in un riff ultra distorto ripetuto all'infinito su una base di beats elettronici anch'essi ripetuti per tutta la durata della canzone, il tutto inasprito dalla voce ultra-effettata e incazzatissima di Al Jourgensen (il front-man dei Ministry) e da vari samples di risate, urla e altre voci distorte (praticamente le uniche cose che cambiano nella canzone). Verso meta' traccia si prende un po' il respiro grazie a un velocissimo assolo di chitarra molto distrorto (tanto per cambiare) della durata di una manciata di secondi, e una volta concluso riprende a battere il corrosivo martellamento. Dove sta il bello di questa canzone? Proprio nella sua ripetivita', che permette a questo macigno di suoni acidi e malati di poter essere quasi ballato.

Testo:
I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna break his face
I'm gonna crack his skull
I'm gonna kick it all in
I'm gonna break his legs off
I'm gonna rip his head off
and then shit down his neck
and then I'll laugh like a motherfucker
and then I'll laugh like a motherfucker
coz i hate her
and then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
flashback

coz I hate her

pneumatic drill
right through her chest
bedroom punching
right through the rest
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her suffer
and then watch her die
coz I hate her
and then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
flashback

coz I hate her

I'm gonna rip her flesh
I'm gonna piss in her face
I'm gonna rip her open
and then hit her with mace
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her suffer
I'm gonna make her cry
I'm gonna watch her die
coz I hate her
and then I'll fall past
I'm gonna flashback
flashback

I hate her
flashback
laugh like a motherfucker

L'essenza della Trance. Ripetitiva, potente, inconfondibile, devastante: c'è tutto in questo disco, i caratteri somatici del genere sono presenti in blocco. Una delle produzioni più belle di tutti i tempi, imperdibile per gli amanti della musica di questo tipo.

PS: per chi non lo sapesse, Storm = Jam & Spoon (nome che forse risulterà più familiare agli amanti della musica dance anni '90).

Anno: 1970
Genere: Rock/Blues



What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

[Ef.Di.Gi]

Artista: Ozzy Osbourne
Album: Live at Budokan
Titolo: Crazy Train

Ripresa in live di uno dei pezzi storici dell'era randy-rohadiana dell'ormai storico ex cantante dei Black Sabbath, trova la sua principale giustificazione tra i pezzi da segnalare nella performace straordinaria del chitarrista Zackk Wylde, che edita a piacimento i già perfetti riff dell'originale, dando origine ad un sound neo-neoclassico da sturbo. Da ascoltare, così come tutto il live.
