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.

Ozzy, Randy e Zakk

Bellissimo Live at Budokan!

Artista: Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel
Titolo: Pigswill
Durata: 6'13''
Album: Nail
Anno: 1985
Genere: Rock (con contaminazioni Industrial)



. E' stata la mia espressione dopo aver ascoltato questa canzone. L'australiano che si fa chiamare Foetus ha anticipato i tempi di un po' di anni, suonando quello che avrebbero suonato i Nine Inch Nails nel 1989 in Pretty Hate Machine (e le varie band Industrial che usano una chitarra oltre agli strumenti elettronici). Un vero tappetto elettronico accompagna la chitarra distorta e le urla di Foetus, creando delle vere atmosfere fredde e "industriali". Consigliato soprattutto ai fan dei NIN e dell'Industrial in generale, ma puo' piacere anche a chi non conosce questo genere.

Titolo: Carry On Wayward Son
Anno: 1976



(Kerry Livgren)

Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

"Are we supposed to be or not to be?",
said the angel to the queen.
I lift my skirt when Voltaire turns
as he speaks, his mouth full of garlic.

White... yes... white.

Misfortune of us two.
He told you to be free
and you obeyed.

We have to decide what is important:
a war we never see,
or a street so black that babies die;
a system and a theory,
or our wish to be free...
to organize and analyze,
and at the end realize that:
nobody knows if it really happened.

" Il brano si apre con un crescendo tempestoso di tipico tribalismo "nero" teutonico (ritmo "motorik" di batteria e distorsioni violente), dal quale scaturisce un duetto surreale fra una selvaggia chitarra jazz-rock e uno strimpello acustico di flamenco psichedelico. La baraonda piomba d'acchito in un silenzio spettrale finché un tenore ubriaco intona una cantilena da muezzin, accompagnato soltanto da un filo maligno di sintetizzatore e da una cadenza zoppicante di piano, con la batteria che prende velocità a passo di valzer. Dopo pochi secondi si scatena un travolgente uragano supersonico diretto verso gli spazi cosmici, e, quando gli spasimi si placano, rimane soltanto un canto da manicomio (moltiplicato dai mille echi della cella), sulle stesse tonalità ubriaco-etniche, scandito da orrendi stacchetti di pianoforte da music-hall; cigolii a tutto volume, registrazioni di voci lanciate a velocità pazzesche e intersecate dal nastro stridente di un pezzo d'organo. Il finale e` tenero, magico e delirante: sugli accordi impercettibili di una chitarra due voci raccontano una fiaba medievale dicendo una parola a testa, e un verso riassume l'intera filosofia del complesso: "Are we supposed to be or not to be?".

Titolo: I've seen all good people
Autore: Yes
Album: The Yes Album
Anno: 1971
Genere: Progressive Rock


"I've Seen All Good People" was a precursor to what was to come for the band, and even though it maintained a progressive feel without going overboard, there were prog elements in both Anderson's vocals and in the instrumental course of the song that were still in their early stages. The track maintains an unsurpassed flow to be sure, and the harmonies are resilient from start to finish, making it one of Yes most singable songs. Without an overabundance of extensive instrumental wanderings that would later become a trademark of the band, "I've Seen All Good People" retains a rock air with progressive rock tendencies hovering around the perimeter. Even Yes' brand of fantastical lyrics and wordy opaqueness haven't fully flourished yet, while musically, keyboardist Tony Kaye struts his stuff on the Hammond organ rather effectively before he's replaced by Rick Wakeman on Yes' next album, 1972's Fragile. "I've Seen All Good People may not be the group's most bewildering piece, but it still stands as one of their most appealing.

Genere: Pop



I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

loose hearted lady
sleepy was she
love for the devil
brought her to me
seeds of a thousand
drawn to her sin
seasons of wither
holdin me in

oh woe is me
i feel so badly for you
oh woe is me
i feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sails

fireflies dance in the heat of
hound dogs bay at the moon
my ship leaves in the midnight
can’t say i’ll be back too soon

they awaken
far far away
heat of my candle
show me the way
seeds of a thousand
drawn to her sin
seasons of wither
holdin me in

oh woe is me
i feel so badly for you
oh woe is me
i feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sails

There's a house with no door and I'm living there
at nights it gets so cold and the days are hard to bear inside.
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
falling through my head as I try to think out time.
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,
my body's rejecting the cure.
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside.
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there ...
there's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time.
I've learned my lines, I know them so well, I am ready to tell
whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night, it doesn't seem right
when there's that little dark figure running ...
There's a house with no door and there's no living there:
one day it became a wall ... well I didn't really care at the time.
There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed,
overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel,
my body's rejecting the cure .....
Won't somebody help me ......?

Titolo: Higher Grounds
Autore: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album: Mother's Milk
Anno: 1989
Genere: Crossover


Reinterpretazione in chiave crossover funky-metal-rap del classico di Stevie Wonder. Il suound è il solito dei Red Hot Chili Peppers nel loro cimentarsi con pezzi ritmati - dove loro, diciamolo, danno il meglio, rispetto alle ballad -. Trasmette un'energia ed un groove che poche altre track del genere e del periodo riescono a dare, risultando nel contempo una delle cover più azzeccate nella storia della musica.

Autore: Flogging Molly
Album: Drunken Lullabies
Genere: Irish Punk Rock




Said her name was Marie
From the banks of the Lee
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
Her hair like ripples
They danced with the tide
As our hearts washed away to the sea
Was she sent down for me from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin’ a different tune
And I laugh as the tears was the rain

Tell me why no one’s listenin’
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake

One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ
we’re alive
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
Till the mornin’ came fresh with a new
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang
the clown
We’ve nothing left to lose but your wings and
my frown
Where over the hills the valleys will ring
To the sound of our love singin’ true

Tell me why no one’s listenin’
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake

But the summer sun is melting now
With the leaves I’ll soon be gone
Will you have the strength when the emptiness
shadows fall
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
By the beating from the storm
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
Yeah be gone... be gone

Was she sent down for me from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin’ a different tune
And I laugh as the tears was the rain

Tell me why no one’s listenin’
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake

.::.Titolo: Happy Children
.::.Autore: P. Lion
.::.Durata: 5' 54"
.::.Album: Springtime
.::.Genere: Synth pop
.::.Anno: 1983





In questo brano fantastico, pur essendo ormai di 22 anni fa, c'è tutto. Synth pop che già prelude ad una tendenza progressive e melodica che si svilupperà solo una dozzina di anni dopo e culminerà nel suo apice con Robert Miles e "Children" (guarda caso, che bella somiglianza i titoli...); un vero capolavoro.

Peraltro si parla anche in questo caso di una produzione italianissima. Infatti il buon P. Lion (non ci si lasci ingannare dal nome d'arte) altri non è che Paolo Pelandi.

Beccatevi quest'intervista per info su di lui:

http://eurokdj.free.fr/misc/p_lion_interview.htm

Always the war in 1983 - this is the world of today.
In our mind there is only the money and there is nothing for you.
Then hours work
no flowers in the mind
the life runs without happin
Every day dreams to go to a better life
but they remain only dreams.

You are the children
your life will be very hard.
You are the children
you're singing every day.
To have a friend to explain your little problem

Can you say now to have it?
Sometimes you hope it's only an illusion

Don't hope it's better so.
But children power will win

I am sure
will see sweet lovers for us.
Your fantasy will find new nice colours

But now it's time to go.
You are the children

Your life will be very hard. . ..
You are the children

Your life will be very hard. . . .
You are the children

Your life will be very hard. . . .

La voce narrò
all'ultimo che
sul mondo restò
la vera realtà.
E poi comandò
di andare tra i suoi
a dire la verità
e il gioco iniziò.
Quella voce premeva nel petto
col dolore di cose capite
forse era in tempo a dirlo anche agli altri
forse era in tempo a dirlo anche agli altri
Cos'è la vita di un uomo che ha pianto
come guardare un cielo sereno
come fissare i tuoi occhi nel sole
come afferrare una mano protesa.
E la voce premeva nel petto
col dolore di cose vissute
doveva andare presto doveva andare presto
La poesia di un giorno di vento
l'ultima foglia di un albero morto
il primo giorno di sole d'aprile
un corpo caldo una mano vicina.

Ritorno, portandovi la Luce!

Oggi nella TdG, ho l'onorore di presentarvi, una delle piu' belle traccie mai composte su Commodore64.
Cover dell'OST di Turbo Outrun Arcade, di Hiroshi Miyauchi (Hero/Sega Sound Team), curata da Jeroen Tel...uno dei piu' grandi guru del industria sonora dei Videogame, che vanta alle spalle lavori del calibro di Myth, Turrican, 2400 AD, Afterburner, Cybernoid... semplicemente un genio

Il suo commento riguardo all'OST:

Most of the tunes are heavily inspired by the music in the arcade game. "Turbo Outrun took about a month all together. It was a lot of fun, but I recomposed every tune about three times to get it perfect. I still think it is one of the best audio tracks I ever did on the C64." "One nice, very nice note: 'Turbo Outrun' (the music) has won the: 'Best music on 8bit computer 1989' award (at the PCW show (now ECTS) in London. Too bad I had to find out later. US Gold received the actual award. Bastards! I wasn't even at the scene when it was presented. "

"I'm actually saying: 'one two TREE', 'cause sampling THREE would make it sound like 'one two FREE' and that's not what I wanted. ;P"

Splendida. Fulvio Perniola e Gianni Bini, ovvero i Netzwerk in arte, con questo pezzo si sono segnalati al mondo della dance, avendo un discreto successo. Per me questo è un brano assolutamente indimenticabile. E' una traccia bellissima, con un cantato favoloso ed una melodia strepitosa, secondo me.

E' da tre giorni che me la canticchio sotto la doccia.

If a girl walks in
Calls her name of my heart
I turn and run away
Everyday will...............
It's hard to be lucky in love
Open fire... open fire...

Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell a lie, don't be false or true
All comes back to you
Open fire... open fire...

Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

Tears in your eyes
Is making me crying
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now, right now

Empty dreams can only disappoint
A ruin behind your smile
Don't give up, don't give up
You can be lucky in love

Tears in your eyes
Is making me crying
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above
