surely it’s not a milestone, not a master-work, it’s only a tiny and cute teenAged album. A voice like a child and a sound with strange combination affect by post rock and samples. A special note for the great booklet.

11 Ballata del lavoro interinale
In the first album there were a lot of raw guitars and fuckin offhanded rock’n'roll. All were associated to relevants and not banals lirycs with social backgrounds.. a great start. This second opus overdraw the impressives lyrics and the attack to italian culture, politics and storical misdeed, a lot of ballad are introduced and the ruling of hard sound are lost (not in live show), surely a reverse, a popular approach to do accessible to the numb and dumb italian people the meaning of the songs..

12 Winter (What We Never Were After All) 4:08
It’s the sixth opus for the iceland band, the first without the sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, Gyða (piano) left in 2002, and Kristin (voice) left before this album. It’s strange that mum remain mum without their voices (singer plus coro), but it’s incredible! thi album is the best! Another voice Hildur (cellist) replace kristin and the digital sound leave space to the live instruments. the songs now are less rarefy of iceland, and more lightly as a fairy-tale’s videogame!! It’s a curious lullaby singed with jerk of minimal electronic sound. …goodluck!

This is the first real opus for Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica, (he’s one and only).
Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica=the lights of the electric central.
Vasco Brondi is the Name behind the lights..Voice and Guitar… for many people is a new prophet, for many other he’s only the winner of “Disc of the year” and “Artist of the year”.
for me is just a little guy with a guitar who poetically expresses the malaise of our times with great words!

this is the essence of surreal, a tender and soft voice of all drive me in a world like “Alice in dark wonderland”.. all is foggy and dense. It’s a little band, and a little pearl of big worth
