"Something different ! If you you want to listen to one of the best band from Italy playing very original music this cd is for you. An anthology of their first works, contains material that could explain all their creativity. Obviously the core of Elio and the Storie Tese is in the astonishing, comical, cabaret style lyrics but have a deep listen on the music. Is well played, complex, strange: a sort of Frank Zappa, Gong mixture. With fusion, pop, rock, jazz rock mix that comes to your heart and to your mind. Any of the musician is good here and virtuosity is evident even in the simple things.

Well if you want to try something from Italy, this is for sure one of the best choice you can do. But remember that everything is better if you translate the lyrics in your language, trying to enter in the italian way of making music to listen and to smile at the same time."
